We're all guilty of lying to ourselves, whether it's telling ourself we're gonna make it to our 9 a.m. after a long night out or that that one quiz doesn't matter. Say what you mean, mean what you say, but just know that you'll always fall subject to one of these nine lies.
1. I'm only going to the pregame
What you think is going to happen: *goes to pregame for an hour then leaves to go home and study for that test you have at 9 A.M. the next morning*
What really happens: *closes down Pots*
2. I'm not drinking tonight
This is what your parents warned you about when they said not to give into peer pressure. You know your friends will be practically pouring drinks down your throat and you wouldn't want FOMO would you? Once you take that first shot, it's all down hill from there. You drink of choice is calling your name and so are the 5 other that you'll order throughout the night.
3. I'm totally over him/her
Oh yeah? Then why are you ugly crying in the middle of the bar when you see your past swoop talking to someone else? That 2 a.m. drunk text will prove I'm right.
4. My diet starts tomorrow
I'll tell myself this and plan my day accordingly just to make time to work out, but my bed just seems that much comfier after a long day of doing nothing in class. Either way, there's always something going on that will derail you from starting your diet. But don't fret, there's always tomorrow, right?
5. I'll wake up early and study
You'll set your alarm for 9 a.m. in hopes of waking up early to study for the test you have in a few hours or do the homework you've been putting off for weeks, but will end up hitting the snooze button for another two hours. When you wake up, you still won't manage to get anything done. College, man.
6. I swooped a 10 last night
When you try to show your friends the person you swooped (or swooped you) and you have to justify that they're much better looking in person. Only you know the deep truth that you 10 was more like a 4. It happens to the best of us. You can try again tomorrow night.
7. I'll only have one bite
And another... and another... until there's nothing left on the plate.
8. I'll organize my life tomorrow
Lies. You still don't have any of your books for any of your classes, you're going out way more than you should, and you're watching funny videos on Facebook instead of focusing on your homework. It won't happen tomorrow, but maybe by the time spring semester rolls around you'll get the hang of your classes for fall.
9. If none of these apply to you, you're lying to yourself.
Enough said.
