10 Things Every Certified Lazy Girl Could Relate To, If She Was REALLY Motivated To

If someone could help me figure out how to take a shower while asleep at the same time, you'll be my hero.

By the end of any given day, I am exhausted from taking care of two little humans every day. They have so much energy, they'd give the Energizer bunny a run for his money.

During the day, I'm usually a powerhouse; I can do many things at once, all while supervising my kids and ensuring they are fed, bathed, and happy. However, once they hit the hay and I can sit down for a second, extreme exhaustion usually sets in. When I finally get to sit down, I don't really feel like getting back up.

As a result, here are 10 things I do that every lazy girl can relate to.

1. Running the dryer for a second time because I don't feel like folding clothes.

Out of sight, out of mind!

2. Downloading a remote control app on your phone for your TV so you don't have to find the actual remote.

Imagine my horror when I switched from a Samsung phone to an iPhone and would have to pay for a device that would allow me to use my phone as a remote control. Pass. Now I actually have to get up and look for the remote. Sigh.

3. Using the same nail polish to go over your chipped pedicure.

Confession: I just did this one this morning. I was running late for something and didn't feel like removing my chipped nail polish with nail polish remover (mostly because I'm not sure where my nail polish remover is, honestly) so I just went over it with the lone bottle of nail polish I have in my apartment. You can't tell how crappy it looks unless you're super close and if anyone is that close to my feet, we have other issues.

4. Using yesterday's eyeliner for a 'smokey' eye today.

I woke up like this. 💁🏻

No, really, I did.

5. Buying new socks so you don't have to do laundry.

I HATE doing laundry. It's so annoying. And I'm definitely not doing a whole load of laundry just for a pair of socks. To Walmart it is!

6. Texting someone who is in the next room.

C'mon guys, yelling over to the next room is uncivilized. Why would I do something like that when I have a perfectly good phone for texting? It's not going to kill my mom to bring me a sandwich while I'm three hours deep in a Netflix binge.

7. Buying a ton of groceries and then ordering food.

Just because I bought the food doesn't mean I actually want to cook it. I'd rather just order a pizza from Papa John's, thanks!

8. Using paper plates/plastic utensils from a leftover party so you don't have to do the dishes.

Hey guys, you know what's easier than rinsing every dish you use and loading the dishwasher? Using something and then throwing it away! You're welcome.

9. Putting leftovers away in the fridge still in the pan (or pot) you cooked it in.

I actually cooked, and now you expect me to search through the hell that is our Tupperware drawer?! Nah, no thanks. Putting the pot directly into the fridge works for me. I'll let it cool down first though, I'm not a heathen.

10. Buying silly gadgets to make your life easier.

Yeah, I have an apple slicer. And a banana slicer. And probably every other silly gadget you can think of that only a lazy person needs. And if I don't have it, I want it. If I could afford ten Roombas to run all at once in my apartment, I would. Sorry, not sorry.

So there you have it. I may be tireless during the day, but once my babies go down for the night, it's a different story. Now if someone could help me figure out how to take a shower while asleep at the same time, you'll be my hero.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
