11 Signs You Have A Fitbit In College

If I walked to class without my Fitbit, did I really go to class?

11 Signs You Have A Fitbit In College

If you're a college student and wear that tracker around your wrist that controls your life, you can probably relate.

1. You didn't buy it yourself.

Chances are you probably received your Fitbit as a gift for Christmas or your birthday, because $140 is a lot of money for a college student to spend themselves.

2. Your sleep schedule probably looks something like this.

Sometimes you sleep for 13 straight hours, sometimes you don't sleep until 7 p.m. the next night. You never really know.

3. When you walk across campus to class and realize you left your Fitbit on the charger.

What was even the point of going to class if I wasn't wearing my Fitbit?

4. When you're in challenges with all of your student-athlete friends that have practices everyday and you just can't seem to beat them.


It doesn't matter if you spent an hour on the treadmill, you will still probably lose.

5. Your steps probably look like this on the weekends.


"You're wearing your Fitbit to the club? Really?"

"How else am I going to hit my step goal?"

6. Knowing exactly when you took steps and when you fell asleep comes in handy when you aren't quite sure what happened the night before.

"What time did you go home last night?"

"Well my Fitbit says I fell asleep at 2:57 so, probably 2:45."

7. When you want to hit your step goal because you're in three different challenges, but you have four papers due by Friday and an exam on Thursday.

No matter how much you want that Work Week Hustle trophy, sometimes sleeping and studying are more important. But, that walk to the vending machine had to count for something, right?

8. Your roommate looks at you like you're crazy when you get out of bed and pace back and forth for ten minutes.


What? I'm only 200 steps away from hitting my goal!

9. Your non-Fitbit wearing friends convince you to do them favors so you can "get more steps."

"Hey can you go get me some more water? You'll get more steps in!"


But you do it anyway because, let's face it, every step counts.

10. Suddenly, living on the third floor in a dorm with no elevator isn't so bad.

It gives purpose to those moments when you realize you forgot something in your room and have to walk all the way back up.

11. Finally, you're creating new relationships with everyone else wearing a Fitbit just like you.


At least until you set out to destroy each other in weekly challenges.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
