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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
