Showing up 12 minutes early to class, he scans the empty room to decide which seat he should take. It doesn't take long for him to decide that he is going to sit by the door. Forgetting this is a freshman-level class, he expects to see someone he knows, but alas, there is only one person he knows. And as more people show up he feels lost.
"I don't know you, I don't know you, and I definitely don't know you," he thinks.
A freshman girl takes the seat next to his, and in a panic he pulls out his phone to avoid any possible conversation that could have happened.
"Please don't talk to me," he says to himself quietly.
And in that moment, she turns to him and asks, "Do you know where the bathrooms are in here?"
"To be truthful, I have no idea. I've never had a class in this building before and I've been here for four years."
"Okay, thanks anyway," she replies while giving him the look that says you're old.
"Smooth like silk."
He puts his head back down and continues to scroll through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram out of pure boredom.
As class begins, the professor introduces himself and starts to go over the syllabus. While reading along, he finds it difficult to hear the professor due to his incredibly soft voice and the three fans that are running.
"Dude, speak up. I can't hear a thing you're saying."
As class goes on, he catches himself nodding off several times. And in an attempt to keep himself awake, he slips out the back door to "use the restroom."
Upon re-entering the classroom he finds his professor still stuck on the same subject as when he left to go walk around.
"Okay, okay. We get it, we actually have to do work. Annnd WHY ARE WE EVEN DOING WORK!? THIS IS A FRESHMAN-LEVEL COURSE! PLUS IT'S SYLLABUS WEEK FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!"
Having thought that, he begins to realize what he had said to himself.
"Had I not messed up the first two years of college I wouldn't even be here right now. I should be at a job, making semi-decent money, drinking copious amounts of coffee because that's the only enjoyment I'd get. Ahhh screw it, school will do for now."
