16 Lies Every College Student Has Told Themselves At Least Once

Because honestly adulting and studying at the same time is so much harder than it looks.

16 Lies Every College Student Has Told Themselves At Least Once

1. "I'm gonna stay home and do work all weekend."

But you'll find any reason to avoid homework at all costs.

2."I'll go to bed early so I can get enough sleep."

Nothing will ever put you to sleep again and sleep deprivation will no longer be a surprise to you.

3. "It's fine, I'll work out tomorrow."

But you won't and you'll keep pushing it back over and over again.

4. "It'll be an early night."

But then again, it won't and the earliest you'll get home is 4am.

5. "Oh, I'll just have one drink..."

Of course you will, and another one for the people that actually aren't drinking that night.

6."Diet starts tomorrow!"

"

And you really try your best to eat salad, but cheat day is every day.

7. "I'll start my homework after this episode."

But what you'll really do is watch an entire season of Orange is the New Black and set an entire new world record.

8. "Laundry won't take that long."

It will take you forever because you'll end up washing clothes you didn't even remember you owned or all the machines are being used and there's always that one person who takes a lifetime to pick up their laundry when it's ready.

9. "I'll just eat at the dining hall every day."

And then you realize you're no longer physically capable of doing that.

10. "This will be the last time I spend so much money!"

And the irony of it all is that your making it rain on textbooks.

11. "Freshmen 15 is not a thing, I'm good!"

But the before and after pictures of first semester will reveal the truth about yourself.

12. "I'll never go out again..."

And then you'll say the same thing the week after that.

13. "I'll write this paper the night before, it won't take more than a few hours."

And no matter how hard you try, that 15 page philosophy paper will take more than 24 hours to write.

14."I'm gonna make my bed everyday."

You won't because you'd rather use that time to do 100 pages of reading due the next day.

15. "I won't miss any class this semester."

Time is glorious, so skip that class if you can.

16."Last cup of coffee, I promise."

Every time you try, you get coffee withdrawals and we all know drinking it is the only way to get work done.

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.

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.
