As I am finishing my freshman year, I think about what I have learned since I moved in a few short months ago. One of those things is to remember to have fun. Yes, you're here to learn and you're paying for a great education, but it's important to make crazy memories with your best friends. That thought inspired me to list my and others' thoughts on the last day of class, otherwise known as LDOC.
1. Wow, am I really getting up for my 8 a.m.?
2. Well, I made it, but pretty much every one else decided not to come.
3. They weren't lying when they said people started celebrating when they woke up.
4. Did my professor really bring his kid to class?!
5. Our exam is in two days, so why are we learning new material?
6. Aw, that was a sweet speech about the future.
7. The line is 50 people long and it's 85 degrees out, but I will get that free hot dog.
8. Brice Johnson gave me a popsicle! OK, he didn't give it to me, but he was passing them out so it counts.
9. It's so hot.
10. Why did I wait until LDOC to write my term paper?
11. Trying to get a free T-shirt is basically the Hunger Games.
12. I've never seen so many people at one time.
13. I just realized how gorgeous our student body is.
14. How am I supposed to be ready for a final this Friday?!
15. How does she have seven wristbands?
16. It's still so hot.
17. OK, I went to my real classes, but I am totally skipping this recitation.
18. Honestly, I only have perfect attendance in this class because my professor is cute.
19. I should probably be studying ...
20. ... but I'm just gonna go to bed.
I hope you all had a wonderful LDOC, and good luck on the rest of finals (if you have any)!
