Living on your own opens up numerous opportunities which can range from choosing your own bedtime without judgment or to eating junk food all day, every day. You may even decide to start string together sentences that contain more swear words than what could come out of a trucker's mouth. While it's all fun and games for awhile, eventually you'll spend time around your parents again or get a job with small children in which it would be frowned upon to repeatedly drop the f bomb. I'm here to save your behind (not that other word you're used to using) and offer up some alternative words and phrases.

For insults and name calling:

1. Lint licker!

2. You fool of a Took!

3. Son of a dishwasher (watch "Robots" and you'll get it)!

4. Idiot.

5. Communist!

6. You dip!

7. You lying piece of trash!

8. Donald Trump!


For exclamations:

9. Blast!

10. Double blast!

11. Blast and drat!

12. Dag nab it!

13. Shucks!

14. Darn it!

15. Mother trucker!

16. Aw, fudgesicles!

17. I'm going to beat you with a stick!


When in doubt:

Go with unintelligible muttering. Imagine those cartoon characters with the overlapping lines drawn above their heads.

Create your own:

Just about every swear word has a harsh "ch," "sh," or "ck" sound. To avoid frowned upon language, try building your very own arsenal of fake cusses using those very same sounds!

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.
