A Day In The Life Of A Lazy Working College Girl

This is what it's like to really be a lazy girl.

A Day In The Life Of A Lazy Working College Girl

First thing in the morning, my alarm clock goes off. For a few seconds, I refuse to move so I just let it ring. Finally, when the noise annoys me too much, I'll hit snooze and go back to sleep. I repeat this for about an hour, with multiple alarms. Waking up is the biggest chore in a day and I push it off as much as possible.

Then comes actually getting out of bed, another draining task. I usually set my alarms three hours early because I know how long I take to complete the process of getting up in the morning. I have to take into account the time I spend procrastinating by playing on my phone or staring at the ceiling, debating if school or work is worth it.

Eventually, I get up and force myself to do my minimalistic morning routine. I have cut my routine down to two minutes for brushing my teeth, five minutes for makeup, and five minutes to pick out an outfit. Most days, I don't even brush my hair, I just throw it in a bun and walk out of the door. My makeup routine I'm most proud of, just a little contour and mascara is all I need to look like I tried (thanks, Fenty Beauty!).

If I'm headed to work, I know I have to leave 30 minutes early, I will wait until exactly 30 minutes early, that leaves me 10 minutes to sit in the parking lot of my job and force myself to go in. If I'm headed to school I know that I need around 40 minutes to find parking and walk all the way to my classrooms sparing five minutes to chill out before class starts.

Throughout the day, I will procrastinate as much as possible. Assignment due? I'll do it later. Missed call or text? It can wait. Did my boss leave me a list of tasks? I'll get them done by closing time. Do my friends want to go out? They're going to have to pick me up otherwise I probably won't go. Why do now what can be done later or not done at all?

If I have any free time at all, I will use it to nap. Whether I'm at school, at home, in my car, at the beach, I will find a way to nap. Napping is my procrastination heaven. Wasting time without even being conscious for it, amazing.

Finally, the average day is over. I usually even procrastinate going to sleep. Instead of setting all my alarms and showering, I somehow spend an extra hour on my phone or watching TV. It's fun being a lazy girl.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
