50 Thoughts You Have on the First Day of Classes

It’s no mystery we’re all excited to be back at Boston College, move in, see our friends, and have a blast! Everything seems fine and dandy until you remember that one little detail...going to class. Here’s a basic thought process everyone has on their first day of classes:

  1. Wow! I forgot how pretty BC is. It’s great to be back.
  2. Awww look at Gasson.
  3. Phew that’s a lot of stairs to climb.
  4. HEY I know her.
  5. That guy definitely just gave me the BC look away.
  6. OK, which one’s Stokes again? Oh, duh.
  7. Let me find this classroom...
  8. Why are the classroom numbers weird?
  9. Wait, what class am I even going to?
  10. Philosophy of the Person? Sounds easy enough.
  11. I should be a philosopher.
  12. HA yeah right.
  13. When did they put clocks in the classrooms?
  14. Should I sit in the front so the Professor knows I care, or the back to avoid all social contact?
  15. The back. Definitely the back.
  16. Why are people staring at me?
  17. Oh, wait, that was just awkward eye contact.
  18. I wish some of my friends were in this class
  19. Is this outfit not OK for the first day of school?
  20. It’s so awkward sitting here with only three people.
  21. I hope more people come.
  22. This chair is so small.
  23. Why would that tall kid sit in front of me? I CAN’T SEE.
  24. Getting significantly less awkward now as more people come thank goodness.
  25. I think I recognize that kid.
  26. Where’s the professor? Is class cancelled on the first day?
  27. Nope, Professor just walked in.
  28. Awkward moment of Professor setting down belongings.
  29. Hey a syllabus I remember these it’s all coming back to me now.
  30. It feels so great to get back in the swing of things.
  31. I missed learning and being productive.
  32. This sounds interesting and the Professor is cool.
  33. I’m going to learn so much.
  34. I really want to stay on top of my schoolwork this year
  35. No procrastinating for me!
  36. Wait, how do I already have 50 pages of reading for tonight?
  37. And a quiz next week?And an essay in two weeks?Is this a joke?
  38. Definitely never had this much homework so early in the year before.
  39. I think I forgot how to do school.
  40. It’s OK I’ll stay on top of everything.
  41. Please please let there be no group projects.
  42. What if everyone is smarter than me?
  43. I hate being graded for participation.
  44. This class is going by so slowly.
  45. It’s hot in here.
  46. What’s my next class? Maybe I’ll be more motivated in that one.
  47. I’m hungry.
  48. Can I snack in here or will everyone judge?
  49. Can I go out tonight? Like, it’s still syllabus week, isn’t it?
  50. OK I miss summer.
Unless you’re a freshman, in which case, you probably were just severely overwhelmed.

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.
