56 Thoughts I Had During My First (Candlelight) Yoga Class
Andy Yoga

For a couple years, yoga has been on my bucket list. More like crossed off because I attended the first class last Wednesday. It was something I've been wanting to do, so actually setting the time and committing to it was a phenomenal experience. I must say, my first Candlelight Yoga encounter was pretty funny and a bit challenging because I joined three weeks or so late, so some techniques I was like "Wait! What? How do you do that?" But, overall I'm glad I joined and had a soothing time while stretching and practicing some breathing techniques. It was much needed, and I look forward to continuing.

Here are some thoughts I had throughout my session:

1. Thank God I got a pedicure before coming here.

2. I never realized how nice this color was.

3. Great, this yoga mat smells.

4. And I have to lay on it.

5.This block does not feel good on my back.

6. This position hurts. I should probably not try that again, or ever.

7. Ok, that is much better!

8. I think… I’m falling asle….

9. That was a nice little nap.

10. Ugh, my face came close contact to the mat again. Gross.

11. She is talking about her experience with "boys" because they don't "deserve to be called men" YASSS girl!!! I feel you!

12. Guys suck!!! Example A on why I'm still single (and not complaining).

13. This session just got real!

14. Preaching and yoga? I love this class already!

15. Stay balanced and do not fall flat on your face and break your nose, please

16. Ok, show off! I can do that too!

17. Ha. I lied.

18. I can't hold this plank anymore.

19. Elbow, Elbow, Hand, Hand. This reminds me of track.

20. Aww, I miss track *sad face emoji*.

21. Oh hell no I can’t do that wth was I thinking.

22. I am getting super hot in here.

23. Of course, I am the only one wearing a long sleeve too. I am so dumb.

24. This song is lit right now!

25. I should stretch more often. Coach Stafford would be disappointed right now.

26. These planks are killing me! I don’t know how I ever did this during track???

27. Yeah, I am not feeling this song right now.

28. Back to the planks… Oh Lord, please help me!

29. Next time, I am bringing my own mat.

30. These words of wisdom are much needed! Preach it, girl!

31. I am starting to feel more flexible now.

32. My back isn’t hurting as much.

33. I lied, yes it does.

34. It's all in the mind, Virginia.

35. The instructor is really nice, who would ever break her heart.

36. *starts thinking about all the people who broke my heart*

37. Ok, focus!

38. Everyone is so focused, and I'm hungry.

39. How do I do that position?

40. I think I just overstretched my hamstrings...

41. The cobra! *reminisces on the cross country stretches*

42. *looks up to see someone else because I have no idea what I am doing*

43. I just made a friend!

44. Yoga is fun!

45. But, I need a class that is before beginners because these stretches killed me today.

46. But yoga was fun and the candles were lit (pun intended).

47. Is a yoga’s high a thing? Because I am definitely feeling tooo relaxed right now.

48. I think that means I did yoga right!

49. I am coming back next Wednesday and every week after that!

50. I feel so peaceful and high off of life (literally)

51. Laying down right now and I think I am going to fall asleep again.

52. I really just took a 30-second nap in the middle of this stretch, even my leg fell asleep.

53. It’s almost been an hour and I haven’t thought about stress.

54. Yoga really does work!

55. Not bad for my first class.

56. I don’t wanna leave yet! I’m too comfy.

57. I'm hungry, again.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
