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."

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
