16 Things You Think About When Zoning Out In Class

We all have had one of those classes (or all of them) where sometimes it's just gets really hard to stay focused the entire time. These are just a few of the things that bobble around in our heads when sometimes listening to how to solve math problems for an hour just gets to be a little too much to handle.

1. I’m hungry… what am I going to eat later?

I know I'm always thinking about food even when I'm not very hungry.

2. Do I have time for a nap when I get home?

And I start thinking about the next time I'll get to sleep starting the second I wake up in the morning.

3. What am I doing tonight? What should I wear?

Picking out an outfit can be hard...sometimes I need to plan hours in advance.

4. Do I need to shower? How many days has it been again?

Sometimes showering is just doing a lot.

5. Wait, what did the teacher just say?


Every once in a while, I come back into focus...

6. Oh crap…when is that due?

Wait...We had homework for today?

7. Do I really need to be here right now?

But that doesn't last very long

8. If I finish my homework in 30 mins I might have time for a quick power nap

I will go to great lengths for a few precious minutes of sleep.

9. That guy is so cute how have I never noticed him before?

And sometimes my eyes wander during class and someone else holds my attention...

10. I wonder what all of my classmates do for fun

When the lecture gets boring, it's always fun to let the imagine run wild.

11. Maybe I should start paying more attention.

*Pays attention for 5 minutes*

12. Screw it. I’m taking a nap when I get home.

Back to thinking about sleep and avoiding other responsibilities...

13. I decided I want a grilled cheese.

Still thinking about food...

14. I don’t need to shower I’ll do it tomorrow.

Still putting off showering...

15. Okay, I really need to focus I have no idea what my teacher is saying right now.

Once I realize we have no idea what was just said in the past 30 minutes, I try to get back on task again.

16. Maybe this is why I didn’t do so hot on the midterm…

Math was never really my strong suit...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
