37 Thoughts All College Students Have During Lecture
UCC Subaqua Club

As the semester goes on, classes get harder, days get shorter, and the stress levels increase. We long for the semester to be over or for break to come a little faster. As we sit through those long lectures, we think about anything and everything but the class we are in. We just go through the motions of sitting in class and taking notes. Not necessarily absorbing anything.

  1. When is class over?
  2. What should I eat for lunch?
  3. I wonder if *insert friends name here* is available to go to lunch?
  4. Chick-fil-a sounds so good right now.
  5. Why did I sign up for this class?
  6. Why is this a requirement for my major?
  7. That girl over there needs to stop asking questions.
  8. If she stops maybe we’ll get out early.
  9. *Looks at clock* only 2 minutes have past.
  10. Why?!
  11. Okay, when I get back to my room, I’m going to take a nap.
  12. Wait…I have a meeting after this. Okay, after my meeting I’ll take a nap.
  13. I really can’t wait for this nap.
  14. What time is it now?
  15. We’ve been in here for 5 minutes. OMG.
  16. I’m just going to surf the internet now to pass time
  17. I’m still paying attention…
  18. Maybe some online shopping will help
  19. What else do I have going on this week?
  20. Oh, the professor is looking, let me look like I’m paying attention.
  21. Okay, she moved on. Back to shopping.
  22. *phone vibrates* why does everyone contact me while I’m in class?
  23. Okay, we’re halfway through this chapter presentation, I really hope we get out early
  24. NO?! We’re starting the next chapter? Ugh.
  25. Ok, don’t fall asleep. Don’t fall asleep.
  26. Maybe partying last night wasn’t the best idea.
  27. Am I still drunk? Or just hungover?
  28. I really shouldn’t have come to class today.
  29. 40 minutes left? Okay, that’s just 20 minutes twice.
  30. 40 minutes is also just four 10 minute segments which is 5 minutes 10 times.
  31. I can do this.
  32. *sees cute classmate* since when are you in my class?
  33. Alright, group projects are coming up, maybe I’ll get lucky and they’ll be in my group.
  34. *checks time again* 5 more minutes!
  35. Bless Up!
  36. We’re done?! Thank Goodness!
  37. *Packs up books* Until next time…

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.

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.

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.
