10 Thoughts I Have While Studying

Useless ideas are my specialty, especially when I'm supposed to be studying.

Finals are fast approaching which means that everybody is simultaneously studying, cramming, and dying all at the same time in the same 1 week. When I study, there are only 2 possible outcomes: 1) I study and ace my exams, and 2) my brain instead uses all of its energy to think of the most irrelevant things that will never be of any use to any aspect of my life; there is no in-between. Most of the time, the latter is what happens, and they almost always sound as random as these:

1. Vending machines should have a 'Random' button for people who can't decide what to pick.

2. Prayer beads are basically the first fidget toy.

3. The Big Bang Theory with the laughing track removed is just four people making fun of an autistic person.

4. If we think in terms of language, how do people born deaf think?

5. The phrase “needless to say” is as inherently paradoxical as "President Trump."

6. Why is the alphabet in the order it’s in? Is it just completely arbitrary?

7. In the case that we were to incite World War III, our generation’s Anne Frank would probably be a podcaster with fancy advertisements you hear on STown.

8. Though the universe has a finite amount of matter, Olive Garden offers unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks.

9. If you were the last person on Earth, you would be average at everything.

10. I get that it’s nearly impossible to believe the there is no life outside of earth, but I sill still be really upset if the aliens found our planet and named it something dumb like ‘Naked Palette 3.'

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.
