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."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
