25 Thoughts I Had While Watching The 10th Anniversary Of 'High School Musical'

I spent my middle school years basically dreaming about being Gabriella Montez and searching for my Troy Bolton. With the 10th anniversary last week, I naturally made sure I was home by 8 p.m. with my roommates ready to relive some of my childhood dreams. However, watching it as an adult was very different then when I was a kid. Here are somethings that went through my mind watching "High School Musical" not as a 9 year old.

1. It starts out as karaoke for about five seconds, and then they never look at the screen again. Um, I don't think that's how it works.

2. A week later, Gabriella just so happens to transfer to East High in New Mexico out of all of the schools?! That's the most unrealistic thing ever!

3. I never realized that Corbin Bleu was my first love of a light skin guy!

4. How did Gabriella not notice Troy's shaggy, clearly highlighted hair when she first walked into that homeroom class?? Come on, girl!

5. Chad was just making fun of musicals, and then they break into song and dance... okay gotcha, makes sense!

6. The way Troy steps up so that Gabriella has a partner is goals! Still searching for my Troy.

7. Mrs. Darbus is a b*tch. I would have hated to have a teacher like her!

8. So, just because Troy auditions for one play, the whole cafeteria has to break out into song and dance? Sorry, what?

9. Yo, nice red and white baseball tee, Troy. I have the same one! No, but wait, I actually do.

10. Troy Bolton you're cute...but man, your dad! Hello, Coach Bolton!

11. Wait! Why didn't my high school have a rooftop garden? That's awesome!

12. Coach Bolton, why you gotta kick Gabriella out of the gym? #RUDE! What a horrible first impression.

13. I wish I had all the cool shirts Chad had.

14. Troy was basically the original f*ck boy! Saying those things about Gabriella...that she's not important or he will forget about her? Troy, don't you know that us girls find out everything?!

15. Then Gabriella is crying cause Troy basically ripped her heart out...and you want to go to lunch?! No! Let her go home, eat some ice cream and drink wine while wallowing in her sorrow! Gosh!

16. Um, Gabriella...your belt isn't in the loop holes of your pants. Is that a style I missed?

17. Cue sad song about Troy while she walks down the hall and sees a creepy poster of him looking like he is Beans from Evan Stevens. Well, that's awkward.

18. Oh, now you realize how bad of friends you all have been?? It's too late!

19. Troy, what are you wearing?! A jean jacket with jean pants and a blue shirt... really? You wanna win her back wearing that?! No wonder she didn't want to talk to you.

20. Troy: *I actually scaled the side of your house to sing you a song...yet again.*

21. Sharpay was basically the OG mean girl.

22. Wait. Call backs in front of the whole student body? I don't think that's how it works.

23. And of course, everyone wins. Let me tell you, that's not like real high school! Everyone was not all in it together.

24. I still remember the moves to "We're All In This Together" from when they did the dance-along special on TV.

25. And now, I'm gonna go watch the HSM 2 and 3. I wonder if my mom still has my old HSM posters and if she will send them to me?? #TroyAndGabriellaForever

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
