I’m the queen of taking notes during class. It’s cringey but I sit in the front row and grumble for anything less than an “A”. However, every now and again I find myself drifting off while listening to boring professors. After a few times I realize that I have the same type of thoughts whenever I daydream.
- What am I doing with my life?
-
No really what am I doing with my life? Do I still like my majors? Do I like my life? Why am I not in a relationship? Am I even lovable? As I start going further down the rabbit hole I realized that my life isn’t as stable as I thought it was. When I get out of class I realize that my life isn’t so bad. It’s weird a little time to yourself can shake you up.
- What am I going to eat later?
-
I don’t know why but being hungry during a lecture is worse than being hungry anywhere else. I swear that the person next to me can hear my stomach growling. Either way I know that I’m going to eat something unhealthy later.
- If I had to Queer Eye my professor what would I do?
-
It’s really mean but sometimes I look at my professors and wish I could give them a makeover. I think about what haircuts would look better on my professors and outfits that would make their personality shine. If there’s any of my professors reading this just know that I’m not thinking about you…probably.
- Is that person staring at me?
-
What’s their problem? No seriously what’s their problem? Do I have something on my face? Do they want to be my friend? What if they like me? Am I vain for thinking this? Oh they looked away. Thank God.
- How much time do I have left?
-
You try to make the time go by faster by convincing yourself that there really isn’t as much time left during class. You think to yourself that in thirty minutes, it’ll only be twenty minutes until you can leave. That’s only ten minutes five times. That’s nothing.Right? Right?
- I want to watch Nextlix…
-
You can’t wait until you can watch your latest binge. You know that you would never watch Netflix on during class but the urge never seems to go away throughout the lecture. You can’t wait until you can lay in bed and turn the tv on.
- How long was I zoning out?
-
Zoning out is all fun and games until you realize that you’re behind in class. You snap out of your trance and desperately try to go back to work.
After you finally snap out of it you promise yourself that you’d try to pay better attention in class. That is until you find yourself zoning out again…
