10 Ways to Make People Think You’ve Got It Together

At least from a girl’s perspective anyway

As college students, we’re all trying to pretend like we know what we’re doing with our lives. Especially those like me, who are close to graduation, acting like you’ve got it all together is vital.

1. Paint Your Nails

People who have the time to actually give a crap about their cuticle care are the kind of people you want to aspire to be. Being very detail oriented and artistically technical is always a way to make people think you know what’s up.

2. Have a “Bed Time”

No one has to know that “I’m going to bed” really means “I’m going to watch Netflix until 4am.” People who have real jobs go to bed early, so pretend you actually have a job and just go to bed anyway.

3. Drink Tea

People who have their shit together care about their bodies, so they drink decaffeinated tea instead of strong, black coffee.

4. Have a Planner

Schedule everything in your life, even down to the days that you are going to wash your hair. Everything should be color-coded and organized in at least three different locations.

5. Get a Pet

Pets are a large responsibility, so if you want to make people think you are actually a responsible person who doesn’t eat Ramen every other night for dinner, then get a cat (as long as you can actually take care of it. Don’t harm the animal for your own selfish reasons).

6. Eat Kale

I don’t know why, but everyone has had a serious kale frenzy lately. Kale tastes like piss to me, but do I pretend to like it in public, oh hell yeah!

7. Go to the Gym

Work out before going to class every morning. Get up at 6am and work out for at least an hour. Who cares if you wanted to sleep in, adults don’t sleep anyway!

8. Unplug

People who know what they are doing are notorious for being “too good” for the latest technology, so delete your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and go incognito so no one knows who the heck you are anymore.

9. Wash your hair less

The natural oils of your scalp are good for your head, so you can skip washing that hair every once in a while. I am convinced that being an adult means finding more indiscrete ways of being lazy and unhygienic.

10. Buy some Real Perfume

I don’t mean Bath and Body Works or Victoria’s Secret, but the real expensive shit from like Marc Jacobs or something. You need to smell like success to be a success!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
