Walking home alone is never a big deal during the day. You see your surroundings, birds are chirping, and all is good. Walking home alone at night is a different story. This is when all the creeps come out and we fear for our safety simply because we are a woman and alone.

No matter how brave of a woman you are, there are always a few thoughts that run through our minds while we're wandering alone.

1. Relax, it's just a little dark out

Ok, you're just being paranoid. Just because it's dark doesn't mean that something bad is going to happen. You walk this path all the time, you're fine. Relax.

2. Could someone steal me right now?

Like what if I'm just walking, minding my own business, and then bam, someone jumps out of this bush up ahead and grabs me. I wonder if I could fight back. I could probably get away, I'm feisty. OMG, what if someone is really in that bush...?

3. OMG WHAT WAS THAT NOISE

There is a serial killer near me I know there is! I heard a noise behind me, but I can't look back or they'll know that I know they're there and grab me. What was that noise!!! Oh, it was a cat...totally knew that.

4. You know what, I DARE someone

Do you really wanna mess with me right now?! Come at me I dare you! You ain't gunna do sh*t! *Hears the wind rustle a tree* I was totally kidding please go away please go away.

5. Yay I made it home

Go me! Walked home the whole way by myself and nothing bad happened. This is no big deal, I rock. Why was I freaking out about this? Hahaha. Wait, what if someone is waiting for me inside?...

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
