I Have No Idea What's Going On

I'm baaaackkkk.

I went on a little hiatus, I think the blog and I just needed a little break. 

Of course, today was the first day back to classes for Iowa State, and most of the colleges of our great  nation.

(Although, our great nation is also making me pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to get an education...)

I was so rusty on functioning as a productive student that sometimes just the professors speaking words was starting to confuse me. Of course, when the professors were actually speaking. I'm in a sign language class, and the man never spoke one word. Not one. I read the syllabus, and it appears the man may never speak one word. But I like that class. And then there's calculus where...I don't even know what happened in that class today. The man legitimately was trying to teach us things on the first day of class. Like could you not. 

But college can be confusing. High school can be confusing (until you go to college and then you realize high school was no where near confusing in comparison). 

I have decided to make a list of ways to react to the horrendous confusion that can come with sitting in a chair, staring at a human being for 50 minutes.

----------------------

1. Play it cool. 

Some people just have the ability to stare their confusion stone cold in the face. Or maybe you're one of the people who actually understand what the foreign professor is talking about calculus. But you're probably not.

2. Facially Express It

You let your professor know that they just spoke utter bullshite with the look of "WTF" all over your face. They probably won't see this, and you'll just look crazy. It's fine, someone out there knows you have no idea what's happening. This is the approach I take, it's fine. 

3. Ignore The Situation

Sometimes once you're too a certain level, there's no helping you. The best course of action for the day is to just ignore you're even in class. Doodle, Snapchat, Tweet...you're done, so don't even try to understand it.

4. Leave

Now I wouldn't put this, but people in my calculus class literally just up and left. I also saw a boy sprinting like Usain Bolt out of a building, so either you placed an explosive device or he was confused. 

5. Let It Flow

Now, save this for a later time. Like don't pull this one out the first day, people will definitely think you're weird. Being confused doesn't give you a pass to cry. It also doesn't give you a reason to throw your prosthetic leg across the lecture hall.

6. Repeatedly Tell Your Neighbor

Ya know, my neighbor in Calc today probably got real sick of me asking him what was happening. Just make sure you let every single person around you know how much you don't understand it, because that will definitely help you to understand it..........

7. Rock It Out

Even if you don't understand it, who cares. Grades are about 1/1000000 of life. C's get degrees, and degrees mean about as much as relationships these days: nada. Zilch. Nothing. 

But when all else fails:

My advice to you is just to remain calm. Calculus/Chemistry/Biology/Whatever is one course in your path of life. College is important, but in four years, who's really going to care. 

And hey ya'll, only 121 days until Christmas, which means less than 121 days 'til we all crawl out of this hell hole we call school for three weeks.

Thank you, I hope ya'll have a great semester/year/life of learning.
