13 Signs That You're Always Late

We can’t help it; it’s a sickness really. So if you had the record for the most tardies in high school, never made curfew and have had relationships break up because you were two hours late to their birthday -- here’s to you. The first step is acceptance right?

1. When getting ready to go out, your friends tell you a time 30 minutes earlier than they actually plan for

They know you’re not going to be there at 7:30 P.M. unless you’re told 7:00 P.M. Even then they might be still be waiting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2. You’ve perfected the art of getting ready in less than 10 minutes

Nap too long? One Netflix episode too many? Every perpetual late-ie knows you skip the shower, take that perfume bath and get out the door in nine minutes -- looking fly af.

3. You know the exact latest time you can get out of bed and still make it to class before they take attendance

8:49 A.M. -- We gucci. 8:51 A.M. -- Run!!!

4. You can come up with some pretty bomb excuses right on the spot

"OK, see, what happened was..."

5. The amount of times you’ve bickered with your besties because you showed up 30 minutes after the LASTEST POSSIBLE TIME is uncountable

“But I’m here now, right?!”

6. When you actually are on time people can’t stop telling you how shocked they are

Yes I get it, I'm on time, what a surprise, do I get a medal?

7. You almost get kicked out of every carpool you join ever

At least the other members know their car horns work!

8. People automatically know who drove by how late you are

“We knew you drove because Hannah is never late!”

9. You always miss the pregame

By the time you show up your friends are on their third drink and walking out the door. Guess you’ll be the sober one tonight.

10. You’ve perfected the art of kissing ass

Your friends aren’t sure how you haven’t gotten a failed participation grade after the tenth time you were late to art history, but it’s only because your professor loves you.

11. You’ve never had an appetizer in your life

At least this gives you an excuse to order that much more food!

12. You speed-walk everywhere you go


You are so used to speed-walking to get somewhere faster that you naturally just speed-walk everywhere now.

13. You really really tried

You started getting ready three hours before you were supposed to be there and you were still the one running in last minute.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
