"To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be late. And to be late is to be unacceptable." This is such a great way to live life, but unfortunately, there are some people (myself included) who are simply punctually challenged. Their internal timing just does not seem to correlate with the rest of the world's time. They struggle to make it to anywhere on time and are constantly running on CPT, regardless of their color. It is a flaw they have come to terms with (and should thus actively work on) because they have realized that there is no point in denying it. That being said, I present to you thirteen struggles that anyone who is perpetually late can relate to.

1. You tell your friends you're five minutes away, when in reality, you're just rolling out of bed.

2. You've even resorted to setting the time on your clock ahead in an attempt to beat time.

3. Your friends have told you to be an event earlier than you actually needed to be, hoping that you'll actually make it there on time.

4. And yet, you still managed to be late.

5. This has consequently led to a great feeling of mistrust between you and your friends.

6. Just when there's a slight possibility of you being on time, the universe conspires against you and something goes wrong.

7. You've arrived at an event so late that you've missed the food.

8. You have completely mastered the art of multitasking as it has essentially become your life.

9. You have used the following quote at least five times in your life to try and justify this awful habit.

10. You have a deep appreciation for movie trailers because they give you wiggle room in the off chance that you're late to the movie showing.

11. Your faith in public transportation always seem to escalate the minute you know you leave your house for an event, knowing you're already late.

12. You've used just about every excuse in the book to justify your lateness.

13. But you know that no excuse will ever be valid. You are who you are.
