My Short Walk to Class

The five most common thoughts I have while walking to class, told with a little help from Steve Carell.

My Short Walk to Class
Daily Mail

I love going to a small school for so many reasons, my favorite being that the walk to my classes is basically non-existent. For those of you that don't go a small school and have no idea what I'm talking about, let me shed some light on the situation. I can leave my dorm at 7:50 a.m. for my 8:00 a.m. lecture and make it there by 7:54 a.m. It's fantastic.


Despite my short walk to classes, there's plenty of time to think about things. Here are some of my most common thoughts, told with a little help from Steve Carell.

1. "Why are you running to class? It's five feet away from you!"

This one gets me every time. When I say that my campus is small, I mean that my campus is small. You walk a couple hundred feet and BOOM, you've made it to your next class. When I see people running, I just giggle. There's no reason to run on this campus, unless you woke up late, of course.


2. "Hi, you over there with the face, please look at me."

I go to a campus that is filled with beautiful people. LITERALLY. Everywhere I look there is someone I see that I want to marry. I love you all. Please love me back.


3. "I forgot my coffee. Sh*t."

I have classes at eight in the morning Monday through Friday. I am basically a zombie in the mornings. Four out of the five days of the week I forget my coffee and die a little bit inside.

4. "WHY DO I ALWAYS SEE YOU!?!"

Realistically speaking, you don't always get along with every human being that goes to your school. Going to a small school is difficult because on your short commute to classes you're bound to see someone you don't like.


5. "Do I really have to go to class?"

Everyone has experienced this feeling one, two, or 17 times during the semester. Walking to class, I've caught myself looking up my syllabus to see the allowed number of misses before it adversely affects my grade. Sometimes you just aren't feeling class.


So there it is, ladies and gentlemen, the most common thoughts of a student that goes to a small private school as she takes her sweet time strolling to classes.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
