13 Things College Kids Say Versus What They Actually Mean

No matter how many times we say certain things, about half of the time anything that comes out of our mouth is either an exaggeration or a just a little white lie. We don't mean any harm, but in case you haven't caught on to the real meaning of what everyone's saying, here are 13 translations of a college kids' statements into what they actually mean.

1. “It should be a quiet weekend. I’ll probably see some friends, get some homework done, maybe go to the library or watch a movie. Nothing too crazy."

“I’m really going to go out, probably go to a few different parties, and then go to the Library. I did mention the Library was a bar, right?”

2. “I’m only going to have one drink, two max.”

“I’ll probably lose track of the number of drinks I actually have.”

3. “I think I’m going to make myself a salad for dinner.”

“Who has the Domino's number?”

4. “Yeah, literally the whole class failed that.”

“I was too busy catching up on 'The Bachelor' and procrastinating that I may have forgotten about that quiz.”

5. “No I don’t have any homework due tomorrow, but I am going to get started on some work for next week.”

“I’m going to organize my planner and start a new series on Netflix.”

6. “Don’t let me text him tonight.”

“I’m going to throw a fit if you try and take my phone away later.”

7. “We should totally hang out more.”

“I’ll probably see you again in a month and say the same exact thing.”

8. “I can’t wait to go to bed early tonight.”

“I won’t be in bed until 2:00 AM at the earliest.”

9. “I’m so much fun when I go out!”

“I’ll probably drink too much, cry, text my ex, and maybe throw up in the bathroom later.”

10. “I’m going to start working out.”

“Maybe I’ll make it once a week to my gym that’s in my apartment – emphasis on the maybe.”

11. “Yeah, I’m fine with just being friends with benefits.”

“I’m actually in love with you and am planning our wedding on my Pinterest.”

12. “I’m such a morning person!”

“If the morning starts, it should be no earlier than noon.”

13. “I don’t want to graduate.”

We actually mean that one.

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.
