13 Signs That You're Always Late

We can’t help it; it’s a sickness really. So if you had the record for the most tardies in high school, never made curfew and have had relationships break up because you were two hours late to their birthday -- here’s to you. The first step is acceptance right?

1. When getting ready to go out, your friends tell you a time 30 minutes earlier than they actually plan for

They know you’re not going to be there at 7:30 P.M. unless you’re told 7:00 P.M. Even then they might be still be waiting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2. You’ve perfected the art of getting ready in less than 10 minutes

Nap too long? One Netflix episode too many? Every perpetual late-ie knows you skip the shower, take that perfume bath and get out the door in nine minutes -- looking fly af.

3. You know the exact latest time you can get out of bed and still make it to class before they take attendance

8:49 A.M. -- We gucci. 8:51 A.M. -- Run!!!

4. You can come up with some pretty bomb excuses right on the spot

"OK, see, what happened was..."

5. The amount of times you’ve bickered with your besties because you showed up 30 minutes after the LASTEST POSSIBLE TIME is uncountable

“But I’m here now, right?!”

6. When you actually are on time people can’t stop telling you how shocked they are

Yes I get it, I'm on time, what a surprise, do I get a medal?

7. You almost get kicked out of every carpool you join ever

At least the other members know their car horns work!

8. People automatically know who drove by how late you are

“We knew you drove because Hannah is never late!”

9. You always miss the pregame

By the time you show up your friends are on their third drink and walking out the door. Guess you’ll be the sober one tonight.

10. You’ve perfected the art of kissing ass

Your friends aren’t sure how you haven’t gotten a failed participation grade after the tenth time you were late to art history, but it’s only because your professor loves you.

11. You’ve never had an appetizer in your life

At least this gives you an excuse to order that much more food!

12. You speed-walk everywhere you go


You are so used to speed-walking to get somewhere faster that you naturally just speed-walk everywhere now.

13. You really really tried

You started getting ready three hours before you were supposed to be there and you were still the one running in last minute.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
