When a concept about derivatives just isn't finding a way of intriguing you, it can be hard to keep from daydreaming about the care-free summer days without classes or exams. Despite the stress about that exam you have coming up, sometimes the mental strength to overlook the monotone in your professor’s voice just isn’t there. Here are a few of the tangents I myself have invested hours of “should be studying” time into, in hopes that you read them and think “So I’m not the only one…”
1. I ate before class, why am I starving?
I hope I am speaking for at least a small portion of the general public when I say that school makes me want to eat. It’s like I become a bottomless pit of stress; which leads me to my next array of thoughts…2. What and when will I eat next today?
This requires an entire page of notes of thoughts. Very important.
3. What could I have bought with the $500 I spent on textbooks this semester?
- 60 chicken burritos from chipotle. WITH GUAC.
- 120 Starbucks venti lattes
- 18 7 for $27 panty deals at Victoria’s Secret
- 250 lottery tickets. Potential millionaire.
4. Is it too late to switch my major?
Preferably something that doesn’t require calculus. Or effort.
5. Is my professor a spy?
a.k.a., there’s no way he feels fulfilled in life teaching math to unenthused students such as myself. There must be some kind of motive that keeps the man going.
6. It's not hot in here. Why does it smell like arm pit.
Must be from the kid who wears the same shirt every day.
7. Who cares.
Whoever decided to figure out why the derivative of a function is or is not continuous, I hate you.
