6 Thoughts You Have While Sitting In Class

We all think it and we probably say it too.

6 Thoughts You Have While Sitting In Class
Huffington Post

Every college student knows that while sitting through a 3-hour class it is pretty much impossible to stay focused on the lecture material the whole time. So where are our minds almost guaranteed to wander?

1. "I Hope No One Can Hear My Stomach Growling"

Day dreaming about tacos or pancakes may seem stupid but as a college student you can go a while without food- thus causing your mind to wander. Plus who wants to actually think about the structures of a cell when you can be thinking about bigger and better things like pie or pizza.

2. "A Beach Sounds Nice Right About Now"

Man, wouldn't it be nice to just hop on a plane to somewhere tropical and just sit on a beach with an ice cold drink in hand? But that isn't the reality... instead, I'm listening to a lecture on the War of 1812.

3. "Maybe I'll Just Drop Out"

So how much money does a stripper make again? You cannot deny that you have thought about it at least once. Maybe not that exact thought but definitely something along those lines.

4." I Have about 90 Other Things I Could Be Doing Right Now (most of which productive)"

Laundry, homework for this class, homework for another class, grocery shopping, cleaning my room, doing a project, writing a paper, reading, catching up on a Netflix show, sleeping, eating, LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

5. "I Wish I Was A Billionaire And Didn't Need A College Degree"

How nice would it be to skip this whole "do work" phase to get a degree that means I will have to work for the next 40 years.... ahh if only.

6. "This really isn't that bad. I really am blessed to be here"

Sometimes in all the hustle and bustle of our busy lives we, can get caught up in the negatives. I think it's important that we reflect on just how lucky we are to be sitting in a college classroom receiving an education each and every day. Yes it, may not be easy but some people would kill to have- remember that!

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.
