We all slip up sometimes at work and say something inappropriate to our employers. But just how badly do we do that? If you're concerned about crossing the line with the man or woman who signs your paycheck, here are a few things that you should definitelyavoid saying.

1."Can I borrow 20 bucks?"

2."Sorry I was late to work, I was taking a massive dump"

3."Is it okay if I smoke in here? I always thought the 'No smoking' signs were just suggestions"

4."I feel like our lives would be a lot easier if we just openly recognized the chemistry we have here."

5."I was really thinking about not coming into work today, but then I realized how badly I needed the money."

6."You're actually kind of alright. Everybody said you were a huge douche bag when I started working here."

7."I really hate my job"

8."Do you have a lighter?"

9."Is there another department here that you don't run?"

10. "Are you married?"

11. "I know someone I could totally set you up with."

12. "Are you sure you want to eat that...you know what it does to you."

13. "Did I see you at that Weight Watchers meeting last night?"

14. "I don't get paid enough to do that."

15. "What's the Wi-Fi password?"

16. "I think you'd be a lot more relaxed if you got laid."

17. "You'd look so much better if you got a nose job."

18. "How long do I have to work here before I can take my vacation days?"

19. "Are you on your period? Because you seem kind of cranky today."

20. "Can I have your number?"

21. "I'm new in town, do you know any good drug dealers around here?"

22. “Honestly, I just really don’t care enough to pay attention to what you’re saying to me right now.”

23. "I love you."

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.

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.
