Lies Every College Student Tells Themselves On A Regular Basis

I'm going to go out and be social today.

You know those nights when your friends are all getting ready to go out, and they invite you, and you're just not feeling it?


I’m going to wake up early and look nice today.

When you wear sweatpants 6 out of 7 days in the week and tell yourself that you're going to look nice just once. Then that day comes, and it's just too early, and you crawl back into bed.

I'll start studying today.

When your professor tells you about an exam in 2 weeks, and you tell yourself that you're going to start studying early. Then the day before the exam comes, and you forgot how to study.


No, I don't order pizza every other day.

When you order pizza every night, and the place you buy from becomes your top website. And when the pizza is delivered, you eat it all, by yourself. No shame.

I'm just going to take a quick nap.

When you have early classes every morning and get the chance to take a nap. You nap anywhere. Whether that be the library, the lounge, your bed. Pretty much anywhere where there's something comfy to sleep on.

I am going to stop being lazy.

This speaks for itself.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

The Struggles Of Having A Resting Witch Face

A condition with no cure suffered by many

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
