37 First Week of Class Thoughts

You never really know what a new school year has in store for you until you're sitting through all the same orientations for each class. You can always think that you're prepared by buying new notebooks or folders, but really that's the only thing you have successfully accomplished. The summer hadn't really prepared you for sitting in a classroom for more than an hour while listening to the teacher go over a syllabus that was already posted on Blackboard. Now, I understand it is important to know what is going on, but all I'm saying is that it is much different than waking up at 11 a.m. to go make a bomb breakfast sandwich. Here are some things that have gone through my head as I walked into class and saw that another year of my life had passed.

1. "WUT am I doing in here again?"

2. Seeing that professor around campus and thinking they are so relaxed and giving, but in reality it's quite the opposite. Sad day.

3. "What am I going to have for din din tonight...pizza rolls?...pizza rolls."

4. "I have 35 more weeks to go."

5. "So, when is Friday?"

6. "Netflix it is."

7. "What makes a bunch of papers stuck together so expensive?"

8. "Hopefully Ma will send me a care package that includes a $100 bill -- yas."

9. "I just spent $50 on wall decor..."

10. "Have people over to watch endless Disney movies? Sure."

11. "I wonder who has the most stocked refrigerator on campus."

12. "Definitely becoming friends with them. ^"

13. "I wonder what my friends at home are doing?"

14. "Probably missing me."

15. "But not as much as I am missing them."

16. "How long will it take until I run out of things to think about?"

17. "Why am I always so tired?"

18. "Oh, probably because I'm sitting in an 8 a.m. class."

19. "Who is that person?"

20. "When will I ever graduate and travel the world?"

21. "What would happen if I won $100,000,000?"

22. "No one would know, probably."

23. "I swear if I get another email I'm going to flip this table."

24. "You mean coming to college means you actually have to study?"

25. "I wonder what time the gym will have the least amount of people in it."

26. "Wonder what morning team workout will be the hardest of the week."

27. "I am about to die when we start them. ^"

28. "How many chapters do I have to read in order to pass? All of them."

29. "What I learned in boating school is...."

30. "Siri, stop trying to go off in the middle of class."

31. "I'm just trying to get to graduation."

32. "This week feels like it's meant to be attended in my room."

33. "Why is gray a shade and not a color?"

34. "I wonder who I could get to buy me a turtle."

35. "I need water to make it through this lecture."

36. "Calls for more bathroom breaks."

37. "Step your game up and do your homework."

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
