30 Thoughts College Students Have While Studying

Like many other college students, I hate studying. It's hard to concentrate on anything for an extended amount of time that isn't Netflix. However, as a college student, it's essentially our main job to study all of the things we've learned in class. Most of the time studying doesn't go exactly as planned. We get distracted and try to refocus, but we somehow find ourselves doing pretty much everything else but studying. While studying it's easy for our minds to wander to a million different places. Here are 30 thoughts students have while studying.

1. Okay, I have midterms coming up. I should get a head start and make flash cards.

2. Did we learn that?

3. I haven't checked my Twitter in a few hours, I should probably just do a quick look.

4. Oh, my best friend tweeted a link to their new Instagram picture, let me check it out.

5. Might as well look at everyone's Instagram.

6. Right, studying. I need to get back on track.

7. I have such ugly handwriting. Are there ways to practice that?

8. Did my phone go off?

9. No one texted me but since I'm on my phone might as well check Snapchat.

10. I should call my mom.

11. Back to studying.

12. This seems important I'll highlight this *highlights entire page*

13. I should take a study break soon.

14. I'm kind of hungry maybe I'll make some pasta.

15. Now that I ate, maybe I can get some work done.

16. I really liked that girl's outfit at the bar last night. Let me see if I can find it somewhere online.

17. Maybe for the midterm, it’ll be stuff I actually know so I don’t have to study as much.

18. I don’t want to over-study and forget all the information I studied.

19. Maybe I should turn my phone off or turn on do not disturb.

20. My professor gave us such short notice on this. Like why hasn’t he been reminding us?

21. Oh yeah, I forgot I have to look at the syllabus every week to remind myself.

22. I’m too tired for this.

23. A nap would be awesome right now, I should really take one. How am I supposed to study when I’m this tired?

24. Someone tagged me in a thing on Facebook, obviously I have to check it immediately. Might as well take a scroll through.

25. I just wanna check what shows are on Netflix right now. I want some ideas for what to watch tonight after I study. I only have 10 minutes left in Stranger Things might as well finish it up.

26. Wait am I following all of them on social media? I have to make sure I keep up with them. Since I’m on their page I might as well stalk.

27. I just realized three hours have passed and I haven’t even started studying.

28. Is that kid in my class? I should ask him if he’s even started to study.

29. Okay, now I’m gonna seriously study.

30. Oh my god is the library really closing already?

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
