44 Thoughts You Have In A Boring Lecture

We've all had that one professor who is the literal definition of boring. The monotone lectures combined with the late nights you've spent studying for your midterms are feeling as though they will be the end of you. Walking into class on Monday and getting prepared to go through the torture probably goes a little like this:

1. Do I have to be here?

2. I still have time to leave—it's 9:26.

3. I can't leave, I skipped last week.

4. Why'd I skip last week when I could've skipped this week?

5. Oh my god, the professor is here. Now. I have to stay.

6. I should've gotten coffee.

7. Who doesn't get coffee?

8. Maybe I should go get some coffee and come back?

9. But what if he asks where I am going?

10. He wouldn't ask. This is college. I'm grown. I can do what I want.

11. I'll just wait until he stops talking for a second.

12. Oh my god, he's never going to stop talking.

13. How have only 10 minutes passed?!

14. I've been in here for a century.

15. Okay, there are only 50 minutes left.

16. That's two sets of 25 minutes.

17. Five sets of 10 minutes.

18. I just have to make it through 10 minutes five times.

19. Oh look! Only 49 more minutes to go.

20. I can't do it.

21. Why are my eyes closing?

22. Wake up! Wake up!

23. Is it nap time yet?

24. Why is everyone else so good at faking interest?

25. Maybe they are actually interested...

26. Why can't I be more like them?

27. Maybe I can go to the bathroom and scroll through Facebook for a bit.

28. Oh no, he's looking at me.

29. Please don't call on me.

30. I've literally not been paying attention.

31. What even is this class?

32. Yes, didn't call on me. Sweet.

33. I think I'm going to die.

34. This is the end.

35. I'm going to wither away from boredom in this very seat.

36. RIP.

37. Oh my god, only five more minutes.

38. If you really care about us, Mr. College Professor, you'll let us go early.

39. Oh, of course not.

40. Why would you ever show mercy?

41. It is 10:15, class is over! Please let us leave!

42. Freedom at last!

43. That wasn't that bad.

44. I'm such a good student.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
