50 Thoughts You, 'Not A Math Person,' Have During Stats Class

larahsmith / YouTube

I've never been a "math person" but when I signed up for Intro to Statistics everyone was like, "Oh no, you'll be fine! Stats isn't really math!"

Well let me tell you something, I am also not a "statistics person" either.

On the first day of class, I walked in and my professor told just that there are two types of statistics that we would be learning about this semester, descriptive and inferential. Immediately, I wanted out. Then, she started talking about the difference between a population versus a parameter and a sample versus a statistic and my brain opened up my skull, crawled out and went home.

But today my brain decided to come back and share some thoughts I have in my statistics class with the world.

1. Why did I show up?

2. Education is too expensive to not show up

3. This dude literally shows up an hour late every day

4. Zones out

5. What's even the point?

6. Should I be writing this while in class?

7. Probably not

8. OK, this kid falls asleep every day

9. Should someone wake him up?

10. Should I wake him up?

11. Yeah, I'm not going to wake him up

12. Does that make me an awful person?

13. No, I'm not awful. This kid sleeps during class every week

14. Maybe taking a nap is a good idea

15. No, it isn't

16. I'm so tired though

17. If I just remember how expensive college is again maybe I won't want to sleep anymore

18. Great, now I'm just stressed and tired

19. Why did I take this class?

20. Do I even need this class?

21. Ooo, it's almost time for our 10-minute break

22. I wonder if I can make it to Starbucks and back in 10 minutes

23. I probably can't

24. I doubt myself too much

25. The 10-minute break is over

26. I missed it

27. I have no coffee

28. Wonderful

29. What if I just went home

30. I wish I could

31. I mean I can't

32. But I can

33. Ya know?

34. Why did I take a class that doesn't get out until 6 p.m.

35. Oh yeah

36. Because I hate happiness

37. My friend just called me

38. I wonder if she knows I'm in class

39. She's such a goof

40. Yeah, Lexi, I'm talking about you

41. I think my professor is the most monotone person in the world

42. Besides myself

43. I don't think I'm actually monotone

44. Everyone tells me that I am though

45. I don't know man

46. I'm just trying to live my life

47. I just realized I skipped number

48. Too late now

49. I'm not fixing it now

50. I should start paying attention now

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more
