7 Emotions You Feel In Math Class, As Told By Homer Simpson
FOX

Ah, math class. One second everything makes sense and the next, you're scrambling to find your way out of a labyrinth. Who needs these crazy formulas and diagrams anyway? No matter which math class you're in, we've all felt these emotions at one point or another.

1. Boredom

The teacher starts rambling about something you learned two days ago and writing some formulas that you can't see anyway. No one else is paying attention either anyway, so why not take a quick nap, right?

2. Confusion

Your eyes jolt open, and you realize that you blanked out for the last 20 minutes of the lecture. Where are you? Why are all these crazy symbols looking back at your with their mocking eyes? When is the next quiz?

3. Overwhelming Panic

"To ask or not to ask?" you contemplate, still groggy from that nap, and that's when your teacher calls on you.

4. Frustration

"Uhhh...." you stutter in front of the class, feeling everyone's eyes on you and hearing a few giggles. "How come everyone understands this except me?!"

5. Bitterness

"Why is everyone smarter than me?! Just stop." You can't possibly be the only one who doesn't understand this, right?

6. Regret

You question why you ever even signed up to take this class anyway. Why did you ever think Calculus at 8 a.m. was a good idea? If there's one thing you know for sure, it's that math + mornings ≠ happy you.

7. And finally, the Lightbulb Moment!

You stare at the problem for too long and finally, everything clicks! You breathe a sigh of relief and realize that you get to do it all over again the next day.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
