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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
