It Was Never My Intention

Oldest Excuse in the Book

Thoughtless behavior is spared by the favor of the oldest excuse in the book

It still doesn’t stop us from using or falsely accusing the ones we forsook

It was never my intention to hurt you, I wish we could just get along

but before we part ways and say everything’s okay guess my intentions for writing this song

It was never my intention to give you a black eye, I just swung and didn’t miss

It was never my intention to get drunk and high then crawl into your bed a piss

It was never my intention to tell you my intentions so really I’m bullshitting you

So just say it’s okay, and we'll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

I never meant to offend, didn’t plan or intend did you think that was really enough

That’s the thing you don’t think, if you did then I wouldn’t be sitting here calling your bluff

No more apologies please, not my faults, there’s no room for any alternative facts Just go and sit in time out, take a look at yourself then maybe you’ll clean up your act

It was never my intention to go drinking and driving and kill a pedestrian

Or disinvite you from my party, it was all girls I’m really sorry but I thought you were lesbian

It was never my intention to make you mad but now I’m just trying to please you

So just say it’s okay, and we'll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

On trial for murder, you say that you warned 'em, it was never your intention to shoot, but deep down you realize that he was twice your size and that you’re probably racist too….give it up the intentions were true.

It was never my intention stole your banking information, I kind of just figured it out

It was never my intention to speed up and catch my exit and cut you off in the round about

It was never my intention to find out my real intentions but I think I can fool you

So just say it’s okay and we’ll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
