17 Lies College Students Tell Themselves

Because every semester, you tell yourself you will go to all of your classes, but we all know that isn't happening.

17 Lies College Students Tell Themselves

1. “I will go to every class this semester.”

I mean, some days I’m sick and just can’t leave my comfy bed, so I’ll go to almost every class.


2. “I’m going to work out every day.”

Does walking from class to class count as working out?


3. “I’m going to bed early.”

Midnight is considered early, right?


4. “I will not pull an all-nighter to finish a paper.”

What is college without at least one all-nighter?


5. “I’m going to get all A's this semester.”

Mission never accomplished.


6. “I’m going to start cooking all my meals.”

Look’s like another night of Easy Mac it is.


7. “I won’t wait until the night before to start studying.”

I say to myself every time I wait until the night before to start studying for a test.


8. “I’m going to eat healthier.”

And by healthier, I mean eat one dessert a day instead of three.


9. “Just one more episode.”

You end up going to bed at 3 a.m. every night because you said this so many times.


10. “I’m going to the library at least once a week.”

The library is just full of people, which is too distracting; it's better to stay in my apartment.


11. “I’m never drinking again.”

Until next weekend.


12. “I will not wait until I run out of underwear to do my laundry.”

Honestly, why do it anytime before this?


13. “I’m going to clean my room.”

Honestly, I find things easier when they're a mess, so what is the point of cleaning?



14. “I’m 21.”

Well, almost.


15. “Yes, Mom and Dad, I’m doing great in school and saving all my money for the future.”

I say after I just spent three hours online shopping instead of studying.


16. “I’m going to start focusing on my career.”

Then I remember how everyone says college is the best four years of your life and I don’t want to waste it on job searching.



17. “I’ll try harder next semester.”

I say this as an end of the semester tradition.

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.
