We've all had these thoughts go through our head, admit it.

We've all been there. You're trying to study or get an assignment done in the library, but the people around you have another idea in mind. You go to the library with every intention of being a good student and getting all of your work done, but people end up distracting you, or you end up distracting yourself. Either way, you usually don't get done all that you planned on getting done. Here are the eight thoughts that go through your head while you're in the library:

1. Can this person stop talking?

I get that this isn't the "quiet" section of the library, but can you please lower your voice? Or worse, someone decides to FaceTime or make a phone call while they are in the library. I mean, really?

2. Okay, I'm going to take a short break.

We've all done it. We get what seems like enough done and we reward ourselves with a short break, whether it be YouTube or online shopping we've all been guilty.

3. Can we condense this study group?

There's always that one group that starts off quite and small and it eventually grows in size and in loudness. It's usually a group of people all studying for the same test. Chances are, 9 out of 10 times they're not really studying for the test.

4. I need food.

There's no better way to procrastinate and take a break than with a quick snack.

5. Maybe I'll leave a little earlier than I planned.

It happens to the best of us. You planned to stay there for hours, but you start to get bored and less motivated. It's okay to want to stop, you've made it this far.

6. Why do people come to the library and not do any work?

No but seriously, if we want to talk about what you did over the weekend, or the latest event to happen in your life, why don'y you hang out in each other's rooms or something, not the library?

7. Okay if I concentrate for one more hour I can get this entire assignment done.

We've all made goals for ourselves. "Just 30 more minutes and then I'll leave." "Let me finish this paragraph and then I can go." It's always good to set goals for yourself, even if it takes a while.

8. Wow. I am such a good student.

You always feel better about yourself after going to the library. Even if you didn't do all that you wanted to, you probably got more done than you would've in your room, so good for you!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
