8 Thoughts College Students Have When Sitting In The Library

If you could read everyones mind in the library, I guarantee it would be one of these thoughts.

College is a grind and we all know sitting in the library doing work becomes our second home.

On average, most of us spend about four to five days at the library a week and for us frequent flyers, several of the same reoccurring thoughts seem to pop into our heads while sitting in the silence doing work.

1. I want to go back to my dorm and sleep for the next 365 days.

What is it about work that just seems to make me so ... so ... tired. I would do anything to go back to my room and watch "The Office" right now.

2. Why is the heat never on?

It is 12 degrees outside, why does it need to be 11 degrees inside the library? Forget a cute outfit, I will be wearing at least five layers and will make sure to bring my heaviest blanket.

3. You have worked so hard; treat yourself to some online shopping.

Honey, you just killed that last hour of studying ... go online and online shop 'til you drop.

4. How do I always get so out of breath when I walk up the stairs?

I am on the quiet floor, everyone can hear me trying to catch my breath and probably wants to tell me to be quiet. I better start working out more.

5. OK, where did all these people come from?

Seriously, everyday I am here I see more and more people I have never seen in my life. Where are you coming from? Why are they multiplying? There are not enough seats for all these people.

6. I need my dog.

I bet that if my University allowed me to have my dog by mysids 24/7 for moral support, I would ace every single test.

7. Stop talking, NOW.

I need full silence when doing work and after all, it IS the quiet floor. Show some respect.

8. I have no idea what I am doing.

I might be here everyday in the same seat with all of my books sprawled around me, but I can guarantee my mind is racing with 100 different thoughts not related to what I should be doing.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
