30 Thoughts Every College Student Has While Walking To Class

Other than homework and Netflix, college students spend most of their time either in class, or commuting to class. Those 10-15 minutes you spend trudging from place to place are perfect for planning your day, or dissolving into existential crises. And I am sure no matter where you go to school, or how long it takes you to get to class, at least of few of these following thoughts run through your head. Now at least you know you aren't the only one.

1. Why is it so hot/cold/(insert weather complaint) here?

2. Why is this class so far away? Like I have literally been walking for eight years.

3. Am I forgetting something?

4. Was there homework for this class?

5. On a scale of 1-10, how important is it that I actually make it to this class?

6. I’ve been working hard this week. Let’s stop for a coffee.

7. Ouch! This coffee is super hot!

8. Don’t drink it all now, it needs to last you through class.

9. Why can’t I be in bed right now?

10. Should I change my major?

11. Was that girl really just wearing a cape?

12. I need a Segway.

13. Whoa! There goes another long boarder/bicyclist trying to kill me.

14. What should I have for dinner tonight?

15. I need to eat better.

16. But all this walking counts as exercise, right?

17. Why isn’t that girl wearing shoes?

18. I love that girl’s backpack!

19. Can you die from swallowing a little bit of mouthwash?

20. I want a puppy.

21. Do I look sweaty?

22. Is that girl in one of my classes? She looks familiar.

23. What is college even?

24. Will I really have to be a real adult in a few years?

25. Should I just quit school now and follow my dream of becoming a Kardashian?

26. Oh my God, I’m going to have a breakdown.

27. Deep breaths.

28. Wait was there homework for this class?

29. Didn't I already ask that?

30. I'm going crazy.


Hopefully, this list has made you feel less alone and less crazy. Well, maybe not less crazy. You are still crazy, but aren't we all? And if the thoughts above don't prove that then maybe our decision to procrastinate a 10-page paper until the night before will.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
