10 Thoughts We Have While Daydreaming In Class

Can I be excused for the rest of my life?

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

1. "Wow, this class is really boring."

Well of course it is, or you wouldn't be daydreaming.

2. "If this wasn't a General Education Requirement, I would've dropped this class already."

Everyone in this room would have dropped the class already.

3. "That kid is sleeping, I wonder if the Professor would notice if I closed my eyes..."

Maybe just for three seconds...

4. "I'm really hungry."

What they are serving in the dining hall...I hope it's mac and cheese.

5. "Can I be excused for the rest of my life?"

OK just kidding, but seriously, can I leave now?

can I be excused

6. "Where are we on the notes?"

Once you are lost on the notes in a lecture class, there is no turning back. Might as well go back to daydreaming about how you are a failure.

7. "Is she/he still talking about this slide?"

Yeah, it's been 10 minutes on one slide of the presentation and yeah, she/he will continue for another three.

8. "What am I going to do this weekend?"

Well I could go to that movie night on campus, or go out to dinner with friends -- anything but doing the homework for this class.

9. "Why do I even need this class?"

Many classes have me asking this question...I need about 15 minutes to really find the answer to my great question.

10. "Is anyone even paying attention?"

Everyone looks like zombies shaking their heads to look like they are listening, and I know that kid next to me is drooling so he is definitely not paying attention. There goes my chance to catching up on the notes -- back to day dreaming.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
