Thoughts On The First Day Of Class

I honestly can't believe this is happening to me.

Thoughts On The First Day Of Class

The first day of class is both exciting and nerve wracking. Between making sure you are in the right classroom to deciding where to sit and what you should have out on your desk, the anxiety that comes to walking into class on your first day is real. The thoughts that swim through my head are never ending.

1. Should I be a geek and sit up front?

Honestly, I'll only pay attention if I'm in the front, so I will keep my geek status.

2. Will I know anyone?

Nope, don't know a soul and social anxiety impairs me from making friends.

3. Did this person have to sit next to me?

There are so many other places to sit, why next to me?

4. Why did I think I could take a morning class?

I could barely do a 9:30 a.m. class last semester, why would I take a class at 8 a.m. in the morning?

5. When can I get coffee?

Why didn't I grab a cup before class?

6. There is required reading material?

I can't believe I didn't get this book. I won't be able to find it on sale now.

7. Why didn't I eat breakfast?

I am the most stupid person alive.

8. Why are we jumping into a lesson already?

We have been in this classroom all of 20 minutes ever. Just stop, please.

9. It's the first day and you're going to hold us over on the end time?

I have another class after this, let me go!

Bonus: Am I even in the right classroom?

I just sat through an hour and a half lecture and didn't realize I'm in the wrong class....how even?

Chances are, you are not as excited as Nemo for you first day of classes.

But, I don't think it will be as bad as expected!

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.

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:
