Let's get real - it's hard to give your undivided attention to online classes (I may or may not be typing this during a lecture). Trying to attend school from your bedroom is filled with distractions, not to mention that sitting in front of a computer screen for hours on end is exhausting. A lot of times, I find myself thinking about things that have absolutely nothing to do with the words coming out of my professor's mouth. Here are some of the thoughts that regularly cross my mind during online classes,

1. Is this lecture recorded?

2. I deserve a nap after this.

3. How does that person not realize they're unmuted?

4. Wait, am I muted?

5. Oh sh*t, I stopped paying attention.

6. Now seems like a pretty good time for a bathroom break.

7. I should really stop online shopping during lectures.

8. I am never going to have the motivation to go to in-person classes again.

9. I hope my professors still view me as a professional after seeing my Stitch stuffed animal in the background.

10. So many strangers have seen the inside of my bedroom.

11. I am paying thousands of dollars to scroll through TikTok during class.

12. I have not gotten up from my desk once today.

13. What should I have for dinner tonight?

14. I will probably never meet most of these people.

15. Not another breakout room.

16. I would rather be watching Netflix.

17. Please don't make me unmute myself.

18. Oh look a notification, I should probably check that right now, it might be something important.

19. I could always just say that my Internet cut out.

20. Maybe I will just take my laptop and lay in bed.

21. Does anyone know what's going on?

22. I hope I get to see someone's dog.

23. Is everyone staring at me or am I just staring at myself?

24. I wonder if I'll ever set foot in a classroom again.
