10 Things To Do When You Get Home Instead of Eating Everything In Your Fridge

1. Avoid the kitchen

Out of sight, out of mind...right? Although the more you try not to think about the leftover chocolate cake, the more you keep thinking about it...

2. Drink water...a lot of it

If you drink enough water you will feel so bloated you may not even need to eat dinner!

3. Exercise/Stretch

Exercise? Did you mean fall of the couch in a not so elegant way when you find out about a possible musical episode of The Flash/Supergirl?

4. Get work done

The downward spiral of making calls, answering emails, opening mail. Its almost like you haven't left the office!

5. Nap

MAKE SURE YOU SET AN ALARM! Or you will wake up at 3am craving steak and mashed potatoes.

6. Watch Cat videos

The internet is a wonderful, magical realm full of funny videos and endless online shopping. Here is a link to one of my favorite cat videos:

7. Run errands until its actually time to eat

If you keep putting of that shopping list, you may run out of food in the fridge to avoid anyway!

8. Read a book

Preferably not a cook book

Although everyone should be interested in this book:

9. Watch TV

Probably not the Food Channel...or the Bachelor(it will make you go get that ice cream or popcorn you've been thinking about since you got home...#CorrineIsHorrible)

10. Give up and go raid the leftovers

Let's face it, it was bound to happen eventually, why put off the inevitable? Plus, now you're really thinking about that leftover chocolate cake...

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

eye roll

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
