The Struggles of Giving Up Pizza for Lent

Tumblr

Anyone who knows me can sum me up in just one word: Pizza. I have always been known by my friends as the local 'Pizza Slut', only because I would do everything and anything for that slice of delicious heaven. Nothing could ever seem to tear us apart...except for Lent. Regretfully, my friends and I decided to break up our beautiful relationship with pizza for a while and test our limits a bit. It seems so easy! What could possibly go wrong?

... It is going to be a problem when Jennifer Lawrence is literally your spirit animal when talking about pizza

It just looks so gosh darn good! How am I supposed to ignore it for 40 days?

The force practically took it straight out of my hands...

And now every time I hear the words 'pizza' come out of someone's mouth I'm like

I don't even care about my personal hygiene anymore

I just want to practically sink into it

Or literally roll around in it

Or something not as messy... Maybe just simply dance around with it for awhile

Or turn into the beautiful pizza princess that I truly am

Because I swear I am seeing pizza practically everywhere now

I just can't stop thinking about pizza!!!

Pizza seems to solve all of my problems

Because it is such a beautiful, beautiful thing

After these 40 days, I'll be doing this when finally being able to treat myself

And I'll even start carrying around my own personal pizza pouch to show my dedication

I am just counting down the days until I can have sweet, sweet pizza back in my life...

Don't give up on me now, pizza, you will always have a special place in my heart. It's not you... it's lent.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
