Thoughts On The First Day Of Class

I honestly can't believe this is happening to me.

Thoughts On The First Day Of Class
natcom.org

The first day of class is both exciting and nerve wracking. Between making sure you are in the right classroom to deciding where to sit and what you should have out on your desk, the anxiety that comes to walking into class on your first day is real. The thoughts that swim through my head are never ending.

1. Should I be a geek and sit up front?

Honestly, I'll only pay attention if I'm in the front, so I will keep my geek status.

2. Will I know anyone?

Nope, don't know a soul and social anxiety impairs me from making friends.

3. Did this person have to sit next to me?

There are so many other places to sit, why next to me?

4. Why did I think I could take a morning class?

I could barely do a 9:30 a.m. class last semester, why would I take a class at 8 a.m. in the morning?

5. When can I get coffee?

Why didn't I grab a cup before class?

6. There is required reading material?

I can't believe I didn't get this book. I won't be able to find it on sale now.

7. Why didn't I eat breakfast?

I am the most stupid person alive.

8. Why are we jumping into a lesson already?

We have been in this classroom all of 20 minutes ever. Just stop, please.

9. It's the first day and you're going to hold us over on the end time?

I have another class after this, let me go!

Bonus: Am I even in the right classroom?

I just sat through an hour and a half lecture and didn't realize I'm in the wrong class....how even?

Chances are, you are not as excited as Nemo for you first day of classes.

But, I don't think it will be as bad as expected!

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.
