7 Emotions You Feel In Math Class, As Told By Homer Simpson
FOX

Ah, math class. One second everything makes sense and the next, you're scrambling to find your way out of a labyrinth. Who needs these crazy formulas and diagrams anyway? No matter which math class you're in, we've all felt these emotions at one point or another.


1. Boredom

The teacher starts rambling about something you learned two days ago and writing some formulas that you can't see anyway. No one else is paying attention either anyway, so why not take a quick nap, right?

2. Confusion

Your eyes jolt open, and you realize that you blanked out for the last 20 minutes of the lecture. Where are you? Why are all these crazy symbols looking back at your with their mocking eyes? When is the next quiz?

3. Overwhelming Panic

"To ask or not to ask?" you contemplate, still groggy from that nap, and that's when your teacher calls on you.

4. Frustration

"Uhhh...." you stutter in front of the class, feeling everyone's eyes on you and hearing a few giggles. "How come everyone understands this except me?!"

5. Bitterness

"Why is everyone smarter than me?! Just stop." You can't possibly be the only one who doesn't understand this, right?

6. Regret

You question why you ever even signed up to take this class anyway. Why did you ever think Calculus at 8 a.m. was a good idea? If there's one thing you know for sure, it's that math + mornings ≠ happy you.

7. And finally, the Lightbulb Moment!

You stare at the problem for too long and finally, everything clicks! You breathe a sigh of relief and realize that you get to do it all over again the next day.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
