College Is All About Studying The Night Before.. Right?

30 Thoughts That Run Through Your Head While Trying To Study

So I prefer to study outside of my apartment because there's something about knowing my bed is only a few feet away that keeps me from studying and instead taking three hour naps. I usually study at either the campus library or this quaint little coffee shop right off campus. Either way it never fails that when I tell myself I need to study... it never happens. Maybe your thoughts do not go in this exact order, but one thing is for sure that when you need to study it never really goes to plan.

Here is the process of trying to study:

1. You spend about 20 minutes getting everything set up from your laptop to pulling out a single pencil.

2. It takes at least another 10 minutes to find a good music station.

3. When you finally start studying, you see someone sent a text message.

4. You respond to the text message with a quick reply.

5. Tell yourself you will look at Instagram real quick to see if anything recent has been posted since 10 minutes ago when you last looked.

6. 20 minutes later you decide to check Snapchat.

7. You love an outfit you saw so now you start online shopping.

8. You remember you are broke and think why are you even online shopping.

9. Decide to finally start studying.

10. Start thinking about the weekend.

11. Think about all the things in your closet you can wear for this weekend.

12. I need to do laundry when I get back.

13. Decide to start studying on your computer.

14. Instead log into Facebook.

15. See a cool article.

16. Start searching through The Odyssey.

17. Decide to write an article.

18. While writing about a past relationship you start to think about the boy who screwed you over.

19. You then remind yourself you are much happier now being single.

20. When you secretly know you want a boyfriend....

21. Then you think about that hot actor in the current Netflix series you are watching.

(Ian Somerhalder: aka Damon Salvatore)

22. Start surfing through Netflix thinking it won't take long.

23. Decide to finish the last 10 minutes of the episode you left off on.

24. You see someone you know.

25. Yall talk about anything other than school.

26. A half hour later they leave to let you study.

27. Decide you are tired & need a nap.

28. Instead you decide you need to buy a cup of coffee/hot tea or something to keep you awake and focused on the task at hand: homework.

29. Okay, everything is set up, you have your coffee, music is on point, and you finally decide to study.

30. You read the first page of your homework & realize three hours has passed by and the place is actually closing and you did not get a single thing accomplished...

There is always tomorrow, but the same thing is just bound to happen.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
