30 Thoughts You Have During A Never Ending Lecture
Mikael Kristenson

We all hate the classic lecture style settings. Sitting through lectures that drone on and on are some of the driest and most boring moments in college. That's just a fact. There will always be professors that don't spice up their lectures with videos, questions, or even activities but rather present you with a full 90 minutes of them talking and talking and talking. But lectures are something we all have to sit through and painfully endure. It's the common ground that we all share: lectures are awful. So now I present you with my own personal thoughts from when I sat through a painfully long lecture earlier this week...

1. Why am I even here? This class is pointless.

2. What are they even talking about?

3. Is this even a part of the chapter?

4. What do I have to do after this class?

5. I should've just skipped. I have too many other things to do.

6. Do I have to do laundry later?

7. I wonder what my dog is doing. I miss him.

8. I'm going to get Pizza Hut later. Yum.

9. Oh some Starbucks sounds amazing!

10. Oh look that girl has coffee. Shes so lucky... I should've gotten some before class.

11. How many more days are there in the semester?

12. If he keeps droning on, I am going to fall asleep.

13. What's the point of this class anyways?

14. I wonder if I have a text message. Let's check.

15. I have no clue what's going on.

16. Oh I know the answer to that question! Wait nope, I was wrong.

17. I wonder what my boyfriend's doing? Gonna send him a text.

18. What page number did they just say?

19. I'm quite sure that what they're talking about has nothing to do with what's listed on the syllabus.

20. Syllabus is such a fun word to say. Syllabus. Syllabus. Syllabi!

21. Oh I just made eye contact with the professor. I gotta put my paying attention face on.

22. There is a huge smudge on the board...

23. I wonder if the person next to me is taking notes. Let's take a peek. Nope, no they're not.

24. A glass of wine sound's great right about now.

25. I wonder if they've put new movies on Netflix today. Definitely going to have to check that out later.

26. How late do I have to stay up tonight? Well that all depends on how quickly I can get my work done. Ugh.

27. What should I re-watch next: The Office or Grey's Anatomy?

28. Can I sneakily pull out Mr. Mercedes and read? Nah he'll notice that.

29. I need to pick up some water before heading by to my room. I'll just add that to my endless list of things I need to do.

30. I should probably be paying attention instead of making this list. What are they talking about now? Yeah that's not even relevant to this class. I'm good.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
