11 Ways My Life Has Had Absolutely Zero Chill Since Mercury Has Been In Retrograde

In This Article:

Starting on July 7th, Mercury has been in retrograde. If you know anything, you know that this means life is going to get a little crazy. This was multiplied by like 12,000 for me. It seems like since like July 7th life has been borderline unlivable. As a Leo, the stars seem to always have it out for me, but it took it to a whole new level. Here are just a few of the things I have had to go through thanks to this dumb rock moving weird.

1. Waking up like, at least 3 times a night

I don't think I have had more than like 5 good nights of sleep since the 7th, so I have been actually exhausted everyday, I can barely make it until my 2pm nap without dozing off.

2. My hair has been an absolute disaster

I have not been able to get my hair to look good in what feels like forever, but I did the math and it has actually only been since July 7th. Shocker. I mean, I got my haircut 2 months ago, and have even stopped shampooing and using any sort of product in it and it still looks greasy and flat. It is the actual worst.

3. My room has been soooooo messy

My room has been a pig-sty for weeks. Even when I take everything on the floor and push it into one corner, it still feels like a mess. There is just nothing I can do until Mercury gets its act together.

4. My friends keep canceling plans

I have had pretty big plans this summer, and usually they work out great, whenever I ask my friends if they want to get ice cream last minute they always say yes. But last week, I must have asked my friends if they wanted to go to Europe next month like TWICE, and it seems like nobody. is. down. It's like, why can't my life just be NORMAL.

5. 

6. My parents haven't been letting me do ANYTHING

So yesterday, I asked my mommy if I could go to Europe with some friends next month (hoping my friends might agree eventually), and she said no! Like, what? What the heck is my life even!!! She is absolutely insane, just let me LIVE.

7. My Airpods keep getting tangled in my pocket 

Need I say more?

8. My car keeps running out of gas. 

When I was away at school, I wouldn't have to full my car up for MONTHS, maybe like once or twice if I was home for a week. Now it's like, always empty. I keep having to stop by a gas station to put a dollars worth of gas in it and that will last me a day if I'm luck. WHAT IS MY LIFE.

9. I get hungry

So this thing has been happening to me recently where I will eat a fairly large meal, like a hard boiled egg or something like that. I should be full right, but every time I eat it's like 20 minutes later I feel the need to eat again. Granted, I am trying to lose a little weight, but I didn't know that that would require being mildly peckish for more than 5 minutes. Mercury, just move FOREWORDS already.

10. I broke both arms in my sleep

This art tickle took along thyme two right with voice-to-text not gun a lie ellipsis no type dot dot dot no ...

11. I didn't get a lot of tips at work once

I worked for like 3 straight hours at this golf course one day, like I always do, but I didn't get a lot of tips for some reason. AND on top of that it was pouring rain all day so I got wet when I walked to my car after they let me our early. Thanks MERCURY.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
