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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
