22 Thoughts That Go Through Every College Student's Head When They Drive Home From School

https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-person-driving-1386649/

I drove home from school for the first time by myself. Five hours in a car with just me, my music, and a steady drizzle of rain for the first three hours of the drive. If you talked to me recently then you'd know that I was very nervous about making the drive. It ended up being no big deal and a very easy drive. During my drive the only thing to do was sing and think. I did a lot of thinking. Here is a list of some of the most common thoughts I had on my drive.

1. How many more miles on this road?

2. Didn't I have 3 hours to go 30 minutes ago?

3. Should I stop for gas now or later?

4. I'm hungry but I don't want McDonald's

5. Maybe I should just eat when I get home

6. I should've stopped for food but now it's too late

7. Why is this car going 65 in the leftmost lane?

8. Ugh I hate being stuck behind this truck

9. This is such a great song

10. I'm cold

11. I'm hot

12. I'm cold again

13. This song sucks why did I put it on my playlist?

14. When is my turn again?

15. This traffic is the absolute worst

16. Why am I in stand still traffic?

17. Go faster!

18. I have to go to the bathroom

19. You know this actually isn't so bad

20. Just kidding this is the absolute worst

21. The last hour is the worse than the first four combined

22. I'm finally home

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
