11 Signs You Have A Fitbit In College

If I walked to class without my Fitbit, did I really go to class?

11 Signs You Have A Fitbit In College

If you're a college student and wear that tracker around your wrist that controls your life, you can probably relate.

1. You didn't buy it yourself.

Chances are you probably received your Fitbit as a gift for Christmas or your birthday, because $140 is a lot of money for a college student to spend themselves.

2. Your sleep schedule probably looks something like this.

Sometimes you sleep for 13 straight hours, sometimes you don't sleep until 7 p.m. the next night. You never really know.

3. When you walk across campus to class and realize you left your Fitbit on the charger.

What was even the point of going to class if I wasn't wearing my Fitbit?

4. When you're in challenges with all of your student-athlete friends that have practices everyday and you just can't seem to beat them.


It doesn't matter if you spent an hour on the treadmill, you will still probably lose.

5. Your steps probably look like this on the weekends.


"You're wearing your Fitbit to the club? Really?"

"How else am I going to hit my step goal?"

6. Knowing exactly when you took steps and when you fell asleep comes in handy when you aren't quite sure what happened the night before.

"What time did you go home last night?"

"Well my Fitbit says I fell asleep at 2:57 so, probably 2:45."

7. When you want to hit your step goal because you're in three different challenges, but you have four papers due by Friday and an exam on Thursday.

No matter how much you want that Work Week Hustle trophy, sometimes sleeping and studying are more important. But, that walk to the vending machine had to count for something, right?

8. Your roommate looks at you like you're crazy when you get out of bed and pace back and forth for ten minutes.


What? I'm only 200 steps away from hitting my goal!

9. Your non-Fitbit wearing friends convince you to do them favors so you can "get more steps."

"Hey can you go get me some more water? You'll get more steps in!"


But you do it anyway because, let's face it, every step counts.

10. Suddenly, living on the third floor in a dorm with no elevator isn't so bad.

It gives purpose to those moments when you realize you forgot something in your room and have to walk all the way back up.

11. Finally, you're creating new relationships with everyone else wearing a Fitbit just like you.


At least until you set out to destroy each other in weekly challenges.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
