In the world of college, hearing people say they need to get their life together is a very common occurrence. It usually happens in the midst of midterms or finals week when they're sleep deprived, stressed, running on fumes and surviving off of coffee and energy bars. It's easy to feel like your life is crumbling around you when you have three essays to write, four exams to study for, and a portfolio to finish and it's already three am.

But you know what they say: fake it until you make it. Here's a few ways to convince people that you have your life together when in reality you just cried for two hours over finding an incomplete sentence in the paper you already turned in for your final grade.

1. Organize your planner.

It might stress you out over how much stuff you actually have to do, but at least other people will think you're on top of your assignments.

2. Wear activewear all the time.

People will think you're some fitness guru when in reality you just broke a sweat after climbing two flights of stairs.

3. Carry around a Starbucks drink.

Those people that can afford Starbucks on a daily basis usually have their life together, right?

4. Buy real food from the grocery store.

I know Ramen Noodles are cheap, but try buying some actual vegetables and fruits. Bonus: They're a lot healthier for you.

5. Make your bed.

It seriously takes two seconds to throw your comforter over your sheets and pretend that it's actually made. Plus, it makes your room look a bit nicer.

6. Get your cracked phone screen fixed.

Nothing says "my life is more together" then an uncracked phone protected in an actual phone case.

And while none of these will actually get your life togehter, it might make you feel a bit better when you fail that test you were up late studying for.
