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.

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.
