We all think it and we probably say it too.

6 Thoughts You Have While Sitting In Class
Huffington Post

Every college student knows that while sitting through a 3-hour class it is pretty much impossible to stay focused on the lecture material the whole time. So where are our minds almost guaranteed to wander?

1. "I Hope No One Can Hear My Stomach Growling"

Day dreaming about tacos or pancakes may seem stupid but as a college student you can go a while without food- thus causing your mind to wander. Plus who wants to actually think about the structures of a cell when you can be thinking about bigger and better things like pie or pizza.

2. "A Beach Sounds Nice Right About Now"

Man, wouldn't it be nice to just hop on a plane to somewhere tropical and just sit on a beach with an ice cold drink in hand? But that isn't the reality... instead, I'm listening to a lecture on the War of 1812.

3. "Maybe I'll Just Drop Out"

So how much money does a stripper make again? You cannot deny that you have thought about it at least once. Maybe not that exact thought but definitely something along those lines.

4." I Have about 90 Other Things I Could Be Doing Right Now (most of which productive)"

Laundry, homework for this class, homework for another class, grocery shopping, cleaning my room, doing a project, writing a paper, reading, catching up on a Netflix show, sleeping, eating, LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

5. "I Wish I Was A Billionaire And Didn't Need A College Degree"

How nice would it be to skip this whole "do work" phase to get a degree that means I will have to work for the next 40 years.... ahh if only.

6. "This really isn't that bad. I really am blessed to be here"

Sometimes in all the hustle and bustle of our busy lives we, can get caught up in the negatives. I think it's important that we reflect on just how lucky we are to be sitting in a college classroom receiving an education each and every day. Yes it, may not be easy but some people would kill to have- remember that!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
