30 Thoughts While Walking To Class

Because there's too much to comment on during that journey from bed to class

Walking to class is always a struggle when it takes you 15 minutes to get from your bed to the other side of campus to make it to your 8am. With all this time, you're bound to think about anything from life to schoolwork, or that one person in front of you who JUST WON'T WALK FAST ENOUGH. You'd be lying to yourself if you haven't spent at least a fraction of your walk thinking about any (or all) of these things.

1. I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than walk to class today.

2. I literally look homeless.

3. IS THAT A DOG???

4. How does that person know everyone?

5. Thanks for stopping to have a conversation. I didn't need to get by you anyway.

6. If this car hits me hard enough, I won't have to go to school for at least three weeks.

7. Oh hi. You're hot.

8. Don't look at me. Peasant.

9. Do I know them well enough to say "hi" or is that weird?

10. That biker almost killed me.

11. Should I invest in a bike like that?

12. I deserve a nap after class.

13. So this is the sun's attempt at blinding me...

14. Please don't ask me to join your club.

15. I'd rather drop dead thn walk the rest of the way.

16. I need to EAT.

17. Is there free food at that table over there?

18. WALK FASTER, PLEASE.

19. I should just drop out of school and marry rich.

20. Class starts in three minutes but I could really use a coffee...

21. Trips Alright, I'm done with today.

22. Is that person too far away for me to hold the door open for them and have it NOT be awkward?

23. I should probably go to the gym today.

24. This walk is kind of a workout, so maybe not.

25. Oh no. Stairs.

26. My legs are on fire.

27. Does this building have an elevator?

28. Well, time for 50 minutes of nonsense.

29. Maybe the teacher won't show up and I can leave.

30. How many days until the weekend?

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!

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.
