Every Single Thought I Have Before the First Day of Classes

In partnership with NYX Professional Makeup.

6:00: I need more sleep. What time is it?

6:05: How have they not come up with better alarm sounds? Need to snooze.

6:10: One more snooze can’t hurt…

6:45: Shit!!! How did I not hear those?!

6:50: Okay, okay, NOW I’m *actually* getting up.

6:52: Ugh, why did I sign up for an 8:00 AM class?

7:00: Wait, did I shampoo yesterday?

7:05: I really don’t want to squeeze my body into jeans while I’m still damp from the shower…

7:06: I wasn’t expecting to wear a sweatsuit on the first day, but here we are!

7:10: How come when other girls wear sweatsuits they look like Hailey Bieber, but when I do it I look like Miss Trunchbull?

7:11: Maybe makeup will help? At least my skin is all one shade now, but I’m missing something…

7:13: Oh yeah! I almost forgot I bought this new NYX Cosmetics Buttermelt Blush.

7:14: Woah, that was so easy to apply! No wonder this shade is called “Feeling Butta” cause now I’m really starting to see that Hailey Bieber glow.

7:15: Just one swipe of waterproof mascara (just in case I need a good cry after I see the class syllabus) annnddd voila!

7:20: Phone, keys, wallet, check. Laptop, check. Fake blue light glasses to make me look smarter, check.

7:30: If I speed walk I can probably pass the dining hall on the way to my lecture.

7:35: What should I listen to? Obviously, 2009 Lady Gaga (shocker!).

7:40: Ooo they have cinnamon buns and I kinda deserve a treat for getting out of bed. You know what… I’ll grab another one for later too.

7:45: Shit. Why is my ex here this early? I wonder if they saw me holding two cinnamon buns… I’m gonna loudly tell the cashier one of these is for my roommate.

7:50: Wow, I can’t believe I’m the most awkward woman alive.

8:00: Damn, the only open desks are in the front row… at least I look cute today.

8:02: Why have I not seen any of these people before? I don’t recognize anyone from my major. Is this the right class?!

8:03: Calculus 201. Yep. Definitely in the wrong class. Thank god I’m already wearing blush, because I can feel my face getting red.
