Every College Student's Thoughts On Taking A Class They Don't Need
The Ithacan

Here I am, it's my last semester of college. I have three credits I need to complete to meet my credit requirement and I have that covered with my final two classes that I need to take. Life is good. I don't have any concerns on not being able to graduate because I have met the requirements and I am in good standing. I am starting an internship this semester instead of taking a lot of filler classes. But... I do need to take one to reach my full twelve credits to be considered a full time student and I have conflicting feelings about it... These are my thoughts during the first day of class.

"This is going to be a nice semester."

"This class will be an easy A, I bet. I like this subject."

"Senior year is almost to a close. Woohoo!"

"I have never taken a class that I don't actually need... I am sure it will be fun."

"I won't have any stress."

"That will be a nice change!"

"I should probably walk into this class now."

"Oh, there are a bunch of guys. I'm sure another chick will come in."

"Or at least someone I am friends with."

"Or someone I even recognize... Who are these people?"

"Oh, they are all freshmen... This class should be a breeze then with it being an entry level class."

"Oh, another guy. That's cool."

"Professor's here and he shut the door... I am representing the females, I suppose."

"I'm sorry, but HOW MUCH is this book???"

"Maybe it's not important and I can avoid not getting it..."

"Oh, it's needed for almost everything? Tests? Bonus points if you bring to class? Just great."

"I only need to get a D in the class and still pass."

"I could get away with not getting this book."

"Oh, I really should get this book..."

"At least the subject material is fun."

"But now this is the only book I need to get this semester and it's over a hundred bucks."

"Oh, that's a lot of tests."

"I have to remember terms? My memory is awful."

"It's syllabus week, so we can leave now?"

"Oh, starting today... That's cool."

"This professor is kind of boring."

"It sure is raining a lot outside."

"Someone just slipped... I saw that, person."

"Oh he's still talking."

"That's a lot of introducing."

"Oh great, we are done."

"I don't need this class... and it sounds like a nuisance."

"Only need a D. That's all."

"I don't need this book..."

"I need it. Oh well."

"Maybe it won't be so bad."

This class is turning out to not be so bad after all, but I am pretty sure that the entire semester I will continue to have multiple of these thoughts. I am a senior with this being my last semester, after all.
