What is She Thinking?

Behind the Scenes of a Theologeek's Life

What is She Thinking?
Ana Plumlee

Many walk by me throughout the day and wonder what is going through my head, especially those people who know that I am a Theology major. There are actually only two of us that I know about here at NDC who are majoring in the subject, and I am the only one who lives on campus, so a lot of the time, I'm separated from the campus community as a whole in a way. So, if you've every wondered what's going through my head...you're about to find out.

Thoughts during class:

1. I have no clue what this professor is talking about...I think I'll google this topic later so I understand it better.

2. Seriously? We're going over what Theology is again?

3. Why do I have to take this class? This has nothing to do with my major.

4. If the professor calls on me I might give an answer that's too theologically dense.

5. Ugh, all of the heresy.

6.Wait, this is an English class? I though that gerunds were some kind of heresy!

7. I should totally live tweet this class one day.

Thoughts when doing homework:

1. I've written five drafts of this research paper. I think I'm good and there's no heresy in it.

2. I don't think I can stand much more of this theological text.

3 .Formatting this paper is a pain in the neck. It's a paper. Why does it have to be more difficult that it already is?

4. What should I use to make this paper longer? One word: footnotes.

5. One corgi video won't hurt...

6. Crap, I've been watching corgi videos for 4 hours and the paper's due tomorrow morning.

7. I need a Monster to get through the night/today...

Thoughts in my free time:

1. What is free time?

2. What does it mean to be free?

3. How did I get here?

4. What's good on Netflix?

5. Would my friends be able to hang out with me now?

6. Oh, friends...I don't have many of those...

7. Oh my gosh...my professor just asked me to edit something for him.

Thoughts when I'm ready to sleep:

1. What's the hypostatic union again?

2. Why are we alive? Did God create me for a purpose?

3. I really should finish reading that encyclical.

4. Just a few more pages.

5. I need to email that professor.

6. Do I have a paper due tomorrow?

7. Dear Lord, let me sleep.


Those are just a few things I'm thinking. If you want to know what's behind this sometimes stoic face, just ask! Trust me, I'm nicer than my walking to class face implies.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
