10 Signs You Are A Perpetually Late Person
Devil Wears Prada

"Not punctual" has such a horrible ring to it. Us late people are always fashionably late. We are not an inconvenience, we like to keep you in anticipation for our arrival. We are sorry if we annoy you sometimes with our delayed arrival to places. It's not that our commitment isn't important to me, I just get easily sidetracked.

1. You text your friends "on my way!" when you are most definitely not on your way.

I'm sorry! I just really wanted to look good when I saw you.

2. You don't need to go to the gym because you are always running everywhere.

While I was eating that Cinnabon that I didn't have time to eat, I can now run it off on the run to the event I'm about to be late to.

3. You have to set multiple alarms in the morning to make sure you don't turn them off in your sleep.



I waste time even in an unconscious state....

4. You are a master at coming up with excuses.



Sometimes its my fault...sometimes its not.

5. You are used to the judging looks you get from your friends.



Sorry guys! Thanks for loving me anyways.

6. You are constantly in a stressed state.


And you know that you could easily change this by, you know, just paying better attention to the time. But, that doesn't happen.

7. Your entire life your mom has been telling you to hurry up.


No wonder she had to nag me so much....

8. For someone who is always late, other people's lateness annoys you.

I know its hypocritical, but I was five minutes late, you were ten minutes late. I win.

9. You worry about yourself on the daily and how this horrible trait is going to affect your future.


I need to change. Fast.

10. And all of us late people live by this motto:



Julie Andrews said it best in the Princess Diaries. Thank you for giving me a reason to accept my greatest flaw.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
