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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
