16 Lies Every College Student Has Told Themselves At Least Once

Because honestly adulting and studying at the same time is so much harder than it looks.

16 Lies Every College Student Has Told Themselves At Least Once

1. "I'm gonna stay home and do work all weekend."

But you'll find any reason to avoid homework at all costs.

2."I'll go to bed early so I can get enough sleep."

Nothing will ever put you to sleep again and sleep deprivation will no longer be a surprise to you.

3. "It's fine, I'll work out tomorrow."

But you won't and you'll keep pushing it back over and over again.

4. "It'll be an early night."

But then again, it won't and the earliest you'll get home is 4am.

5. "Oh, I'll just have one drink..."

Of course you will, and another one for the people that actually aren't drinking that night.

6."Diet starts tomorrow!"

"

And you really try your best to eat salad, but cheat day is every day.

7. "I'll start my homework after this episode."

But what you'll really do is watch an entire season of Orange is the New Black and set an entire new world record.

8. "Laundry won't take that long."

It will take you forever because you'll end up washing clothes you didn't even remember you owned or all the machines are being used and there's always that one person who takes a lifetime to pick up their laundry when it's ready.

9. "I'll just eat at the dining hall every day."

And then you realize you're no longer physically capable of doing that.

10. "This will be the last time I spend so much money!"

And the irony of it all is that your making it rain on textbooks.

11. "Freshmen 15 is not a thing, I'm good!"

But the before and after pictures of first semester will reveal the truth about yourself.

12. "I'll never go out again..."

And then you'll say the same thing the week after that.

13. "I'll write this paper the night before, it won't take more than a few hours."

And no matter how hard you try, that 15 page philosophy paper will take more than 24 hours to write.

14."I'm gonna make my bed everyday."

You won't because you'd rather use that time to do 100 pages of reading due the next day.

15. "I won't miss any class this semester."

Time is glorious, so skip that class if you can.

16."Last cup of coffee, I promise."

Every time you try, you get coffee withdrawals and we all know drinking it is the only way to get work done.

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.
