You know the feeling: you're walking to class at eight o'clock in the morning, with headphones in both ears and a coffee in your hand; and you tend to think about everything under the sun in those 10-15 minutes. It may be early, and I may be functioning off of three hours of sleep, but my inner monologue never has a day off. So, here are a few things that go through my head on a daily basis:
1. Why didn't I wear sweatpants today?
It's too early for jeans.
2. Can I really make it a mile across campus in less than 10 minutes?
Maybe, maybe not. *insert mental shoulder shrug* The indifference is unbelievable. Honestly, if I make it to class without being late, I should be an Olympic speed walker or something.
3. Hey, I think I know that person. Should I wave? Smile? I don't even know their name.
...and now we're making eye contact. Did I really just smile without teeth?
4. I'm definitely going to need another cup of coffee for this class.

This is my third cup today...I should probably Google how much caffeine it takes to kill a person.
5. What time should I get lunch?
11 a.m. is too early...4 p.m. is too late...why is being an adult so hard?
6. I love this song, and I've listened to it between each class for the past week.
I'm probably going to end up hating it by the end of next week, but oh well.
7. Woah, that guy is cute.
Oh my god, he's looking at me. I'll look at him too. Okay...we're just staring at each other. I'll just smile. Did I really just smile without teeth again? Just look away, Jackie. Look away.
8. Only one more class until I get to take a nap.
I only have, like, eight hours until I can go to sleep for the night. I can do this...
