Thoughts From Busy College Students.

This school year has been in session for two weeks and I am already so busy that I have to pencil appointments to meet with friends...lol at my life. However, I am still doing my best to go above and beyond at everything I am involved in. I spend 12 or more hours a day on campus and then go home and work some more. I also know for a fact that a lot of my friends who are as busy as me do the same thing. In fact, I am sure anyone who is actually busy works their asses off. You know what makes us busy people the most annoyed? People who aren't busy but act like they are. So from all of us busy college students, here's a list of excuses we are tired of hearing.

1. "I just like having time for me, so thank you but no thank you." HAHAHAHAHAHA TIME FOR MYSELF. HA. HA. HA. SAME. *angry emoji*

2. "I am already really busy"

.....Yeah Same...That's why I'm asking for help.

3. "I just don't know if I can fit that in because I have classes..."

Yeah well some of us have classes, jobs, other commitments, have 6,000 positions on campus and we still figure out how to make it work so stop. Thanks.

4. "I'm sure you're not that busy."

kk.

5. "Why don't you just not do so much?"

Well wouldn't that just be peachy.

6. "I don't think I can make that deadline because of other homework I have."

Please please say that to one of my friends who are taking 19-21 credits and turn everything in on time. I dare you.

7. "You should take a nap."

Wow that was good advice because I definitely hadn't thought of that...if I could pencil in a nap I would.

8."I would totally help you, but that is kind of a big commitment."

um...???? Literally I know...imagine doing it by yourself, which is what is going to happen because you won't.

9. "Yes I would love to do that!!" *2 days later* "You know what I just can't anymore."

um. kay. thanks. That was just great.

10. "Why do you do this to yourself?"

I literally have no response to this because when people say this to me I actually contemplate strangling them.

Those are really my top ten list of things that really irk me as a busy college student. Now, if you are actually a busy student, this doesn't apply to you and I am sure you actually understand how I am feeling. And if you are one of those students that pretends to be busy so that you don't have to do stuff...well I hope you find a bug in your next meal.

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.
