35 Thoughts You Have During Class

It’s approaching that time in the semester when you’re completely unmotivated to do anything and wish all your finals were over already. Everyone is completely stressed to the max. You realize that you have multiple papers to write, several assignments to finish, and five midterms to accomplish in the next month,and the only thing you want to do is take a nap and forget you have responsibilities. It has become so difficult to concentrate in class that you end up spending class thinking of a thousand other things. Here are some of the things that probably have ran through your mind while you couldn’t focus in class:

1. How many more minutes are left until this is over?

2. If I walked out now, would the professor notice?

3. I have an exam in this class next week so I probably shouldn’t walk out.

4. I think I’m going to drop out of school.

5. I don’t even understand what this exam is on.

6. I should probably go to office hours this week.

7. I probably shouldn’t go out this weekend and study.

8. Who am I kidding? I’m totally going out this weekend.

9. I think I’m going to change my major.

10. This would be my third time changing my major.

11. I’m never going to graduate on time.

12. I hope this professor will let us out early.

13. This professor has never let us out early.

14. I really should have eaten before this class.

15. I have so much homework to do tonight.

16. The kid sitting in front of me is so cute.

17. I should start paying attention in this class.

18. Ugh, when is this class going to be over?

19. I totally could have skipped this class.

20. This nap after class is going to be glorious.

21. I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.

22. I’m totally not going to remember that.

23. Why did people tell me this class was going to be easy?

24. Wait there’s a pop quiz?

25. Well I’m screwed.

26. Why is the person in front of me watching Netflix?

27. I would appreciate this more if they we’re watching something I liked.

28. Should I answer this snap during class?

29. I feel like people will notice.

30. Okay I’m going to answer it.

31. The person sitting behind me definitely saw me take that.

32. Is this class over yet?

33. It’s finally over.

34. Well now that it’s over, I should probably go learn everything I should have been learning in class.

35. Actually, I think I’m going to take a nap and call it a day.

We’ve all been forced to sit in a miserably boring class. Whether the class is only an hour and twenty minutes or three hours long, it still can be insufferable no matter what. It’s understandable to be focusing on anything other than the class in order to get through those unbearable lectures.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
