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.

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.
