15 Lies We Tell Ourselves Every Semester

"New Year, New Me" right? Wrong.

15 Lies We Tell Ourselves Every Semester
Tumblr

"Go to school," they say "it'll be fun" they say.

1. Get a Good 8 hour sleep.

...Until you realize that it still wasn't enough to get you out of bed

2. Take notes on EVERYTHING the teacher says

This includes every joke in-between.

3. NO Procrastination

This homework WILL be done before the deadline.

4. Support our sports team all the time!

But then you realize we aren't that good and you'd rather stay in and watch a professionally played sport on television.

5. Eat Right

Mmmm ... greens, plenty of greens.

6. Get Fit & Exercise

We are definitely going to hit that gym every day to get those arms and thighs we long to have.

7. Wake up earlier to look nicer

"Good appearance makes a great first impression."

8. Stay awake in class

No, I was most certainly not closing my eyes and dozing off to sleep as you described the quantum mechanics of physics.

9. Apply for Internships

Right now is the time to make a start to reach new horizons.

10. Study your notes EVERY night

Maybe this will get our long term memory processor working and prep us for future exams.

11. Cook full meals instead of just cereal

Wait, maybe cereal is okay again for dinner.

12. Lay off the Partying

To go or not to go is the real question.

13. No Skipping Classes

Under all circumstances, we.. must.. attend... class.

14. Less Netflix


Maybe I can just watch one more episode. Either way, I wouldn't be able to sleep now knowing that McDreamy was in an accident.

15. I'll show up to office hours for help


But if I'm not the only one that doesn't understand this then they will cut us some slack, right?

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
