25 Thoughts All College Students Have At The Beginning Of A Semester
Tachina Lee

School is in session. Some students may be sad or even happy but what is known is that it's a new dawn for a new you. It's still the beginning of the new year so those resolutions may still be running strong. We may have made a resolution about staying on top of homework or actually paying attention in class. If you are strong, you may keep those resolutions, if you're weak it's good luck to you!

The start of the new semester means many things including new classes, new friends, and new adventures. We may be running around like chickens who heads just was chopped off but I believe that most of our thoughts at the beginning of the semester are basically the same.

1. Why am I up right now?

We probably will cry in bed for at least 10 minutes.

2. Why did I think that it would be a good idea to take an early class?

We always think that we can wake up super early and be productive with our day. We're always wrong.

3. Was I assigned any work over break?

LOL.

4. Nah, I'm not in high school anymore.

We're the cool cats cruising down the streets with stress-filled thoughts and probably some anxiety.

5. Do I want to look cute today?

Sweatpants are always an option.

6. Oh crap! I'm running late.

No matter how early we wake up, we are always somehow running late.

7. Where is this classroom?

Why are there so many doors and hallways?!

8. I swear, if I end up in the wrong class.

That would be the most embarrassing moment of my entire existence.

9. Hopefully, no one sits next to me.

I'm a loner. Leave me alone.

10. Am I in the right class?

These people don't seem like they belong in this class. Or am I the one who doesn't belong?

11. Oh no, that girl looked in my direction. Is she going to sit next to me? I better hide!

Probably the worst moment ever!

12. Annnnnd she did. Great.

Abort mission!

13. Why am I so anti-social?

Again, I am a loner. A lone wolf. Hear me howl!

14. This class is already boring.

Soooo boring!

15. I wonder what's happening on Twitter.

Just going to tweet my life away.

16. LOL. That's a funny picture of a cat.

Enough said.

17. Ok back to class.

It's either now or never homie.

18. Wait?! Is this class already over?

I just time traveled or something because that can't be possible.

19. I just spent this whole class looking at funny cat pictures.

I wouldn't want to spend it any other way.

20. Do we already have homework?

Nooooooo!!

21. I'm hungry.

I would probably be able to eat a horse.

22. I'm ready to go home and go back to sleep.

Nap time was never a joke.

23. Nevermind. Just kidding. I have to work.

I'm broke and want food.

24. The grind never stops!

Work hard, play hard. What can I say?

25. Can I drop out and become a stripper?

This is a very serious and legit career option.

Now, these are just a few of the thousands of thoughts that run through our minds. Syllabus week can either be super stressful or super easy. Either way, the school grind is slowly creeping up. Soon we will all be in the library running on little to no sleep and drinking only Red Bull. It's only a matter of time. So enjoy this freedom will you still can!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
