13 Real Thoughts Every College Student Has At Some Point
Good Call

In This Article:

There are a few thoughts that go through a college student's mind on a day to day basis. Some of those thoughts come from class, some of then come from when you are bored in class. Here are sixteen thoughts that college students think of on a day to day basis.

Hit me! Pay my tuition.

"Make sure to look both ways before crossing" was meant for little kids and teenagers in high school. It is fair game in college because we are all broke and need to find ways to pay of loans.

 If I watch Tasty videos, I'm basically a chef.

Do not lie, we all watch those Tasty videos on Facebook and try to make the dishes we see. Once you are done making that meal, you suddenly feel like a chef and it is a pretty good feeling. Or am I just the only one?

I am going to take the best nap after this class.

After forcing yourself to go to class, you deserve a nice reward.

Do I need to go to this class? I have not skipped it yet.

When in doubt, skip. Everyone deserves a personal day.

I am going to this event because it has free food.

The event might be good and it might be bad, either way, you get free food out of going. I highly recommend going to events on campus, you never know what you might like.

How long can I procrastinate before I really have to do this paper?

We have all had that one paper that you just can't force yourself to start but how long will it take for you to start it? The night before? Two hours before class? Will it ever get done? The world may never know...

I just want to go home so I can play with my pet.

Do you ever just wish that you can cuddle your pet forever because you miss it so much? Nothing is better than going home and cuddling your pet for hours because you both missed each other so much.

Why did I spend all of my money? I just got paid.

I always promise myself that I will save my money when I get paid but then I see sale signs and food and then I become broke.

Friend: Did you see the dog on campus? Me: WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE?!

If you hear that there is any animal on campus, you will try to find it and pet it. Petting someone else's animal can relieve stress.

How many Insomnia cookies do I want to order today?

If you do not have an Insonmia Cookie shop near you, I feel bad. I can devour so many of their cookies while doing my homework.

The Professor better cancel class or else I will.

The weather can be horrible outside and Professors may not cancel but in my opinion, I think that gives you jurisdiction to cancel yourself. I am not going to risk my health to sit in class when the powerpoint is online.

"Do you give student discounts?"

I live for discounts and sales. I am a college student, I can't afford to spend money on regular priced items when there are sale items.

I do not want to check my bank account. I will not check my bank account.

The only time you should check your bank account is when you get paid. Other than that, you are setting yourself up to be sad.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
