32 Thoughts Student Teachers Have In The Classroom On A Daily Basis In 2019

Part of being an education major is doing a ton of professional field hours that are required by the Pennsylvania Department Of Education. Sometimes the field hours are incredibly entertaining and useful. Other times... not so much. There are a lot of things that go through my mind that I thought you would like a peek into. Or maybe even relate to.

1. I wonder how many times a day those exact directions have to be repeated...

2. Do ​​​​all​ kids "dab" as a form of celebration?

3. I have heard the word "yeet" used way too many times today.

4. I am in awe that the teacher can retain composure when the students are acting like animals.

5. Wow. I didn't learn that. Wait... did I learn that?

6. I wish we had this when I was in middle school.

7. I forgot how hard it is to get 11 year olds to focus...

8. So. Many. Fortnite. References.

9. They still use fidgit spinners?

10. That's good... I should write that down.

11. Hey! I know what standard that is! Yes!

12. How long have I been here?

13. I should interact with the kids.

14. Does the teacher want me interacting with the kids? I'll ask.

Man, I need to go pee. How does the teacher hold it so long?

16. What the hell is the "floss"?

17. Why are they dancing? Is that the floss?

18. This teacher has the patience of a Buddhist monk.

19. Why do they all suddenly have to pee right before or after a quiz?

20. Do I tell her the teacher the kid in the back is on Snapchat?

21. What time am I supposed to leave?

22. This teacher is a classroom management guru.

23. Honestly, I think I should bring the teacher flowers at the end of the semester.

24. Yes! Friday is jeans day!

25. I hope I don't look like one of the kids...

26. They are all so much calmer after lunch time.

27. How are they so awake at 7 a.m.?!

28. That's a lot of papers to grade. Yikes.

29. I should ask where the decorations in the classroom are from... I love it in here.

30. I should take note of the educational stuff on the walls.

31. I don't teach like this... am I teaching wrong?

32. I can't wait to do this every day!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
