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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
