2. Are the classrooms always this cold?

3. Wait... where am I going again?

5. When will the Harambe madness end?!

6. Why am I buying more textbooks... haven't I spent enough money already?

7. Free food?!? WHERE!

8. Pajamas are acceptable for class, right?

9. Okay, I really miss my pets.

10. How does this desk work?!

11. Maybe if I don't make eye contact, they won't try to hand my a flyer.
