7 Things All College Students Think During A Lecture
Confused Gavin Meme

Lectures can turn out to be really well or leaving you with the feeling that you really do not know anything that is happening in that particular course. Honestly, both of those feelings are fine and very typical of a lecture. It wasn't until my first lecture during my fall semester, that I experienced both of these feelings. For one of my classes, every lecture was engaging and I felt like I could really grasp the material. On the other hand, another one of my lectures made me my knowledge in that course. These are at least 10 things that some [if not all] college students think during a lecture:

1. Why am I taking this class in the first place?

Sometimes it may seem like you don't know what is happening or the material that your professor is going on. So there has probably been a time or two of where you sit there and just question why you decided to register for this class.

2. Oh wait....I registered for this class because it is a requirement of my major.

While trying to figure out why you are taking the class in the first place, you quickly remember that you registered for this class because you need it to complete your degree.

3. Well....on that note, should I just switch majors?

You start to think that maybe the major you originally selected is not the one for you. So you find yourself thinking of new majors instead of taking notes.

4. Is anyone else understanding what is going on?

You begin to wonder if any of you peers understand what is going on. You see people on their laptops and wonder if they are taking notes or either googling other majors to switch to like you are.

5. I have a test this Friday and I don't even know my V#.

You start to have a mini freak out session, because you remembered that your Unit 2 Test is this Friday and you cannot even remember your V number. Then you start to question if you should put your V number on it anyways, because you don't know any of the material.

6. Well....C's get degrees.

There comes a point where you just accept that C's will get you a degree.

7. Instead of hearing the lecture material, all you can hear is Charlie Brown's teacher go:

I am sure that majority [if not all] of us have thought of a couple of things on this list during a lecture. It's alright. We got this. Wah wa-wah.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
