As blooming college students, we have a lot on our minds. I am constantly thinking about when I can eat next, when and if I should work out and if my homework was really due tomorrow or the next day.
A lot of this is an ongoing battle in our heads, and all is well. But is it just me who sometimes wants to say something extremely sassy out loud to someone just to see their reaction and if they manage to come up with as a response? I have determined it is not just me thinking some unusual thoughts, thanks to some friends. Below I have gathered some thoughts from fellow students and friends about what is really going on in the average university student's head, with the help of "Parks and Rec."
1. "What if I just walk out now?"
The solid, rebellious "I hate this class" statement. I have this thought creeping into my head when the professor is ranting about something irrelevant that doesn't pertain to the class in any way, shape, or form. If the class is that terrible, am I really going to pay attention anyways?
2. "I will never use this again... ever."
This one is a daily one. I get frustrated when I am paying for a class that I was forced to take, but I will never need to know any of the information. WHY IS THIS A THING? I want to get out of this place with as little debt as possible, please, so I would rather not take a class I do not need for my major.
3. "I'm so tired."
On average, I take a one to two hour nap every day. It's what I do to stay afloat. I probably don't have the time to do it, but it is what it is. When I'm sitting in class reflecting on the poor decision I made of staying up till 2 a.m., I can't help but complain to myself, or anyone that will listen, on how exhausted I am.
4. "Eh, he won't see my phone out."
Sometimes, it's very necessary. You could be taking a test that day, and a friend is giving you the best pep talk she can over a text. Or you may or may not have read last night's chapter, and you are skimming it over online so you won't be completely lost in class. You have to do what you have to do.
5. "Whoa, he/she is really attractive..."
Potential study buddy or potential prospect in your dating life, everyone always has their eye open, whether you like it or not. I was once told that even if it is only for a second, every person you meet of the gender you are attracted to is a prospect and has dating potential. Granted, it can only take five seconds for you to decide if you favor them or not.
6. And finally, the most common, yet simple answer: "No."
Simple as that, just a solid no. Most of the time, this comes across in my head when the professor says, "Does everyone understand this?" Um, no. Sorry, I do not understand the gibberish coming out of your mouth about human anatomy.
I also use it in more of the sarcastic way when I'm not in the best of moods. I will usually say no in my head to everything someone says. Even though they don't have a clue I am silently mocking them, it is a small dose of humor I use to get by in class.
