What's Your Excuse?

We All Make Excuses, What's Yours?

What's Your Excuse?
Walk It Nation

Let’s be honest, sometimes we commit to things that in the back of our minds, we know we will never do. Sometimes, you just run out of excuses. I took to social media to make people very uncomfortable and ask the worst excuses they’ve used to get out of something- from laziest, to most morally corrupt/messed up, to just stupid, here they are:

  1. “My pet was sick.”
  2. “I just straight up told them I was hanging out with someone else.”
  3. “I have a debilitating, contagious disease.”
  4. “My dad is being rushed to the ICU in Massachusetts.”
  5. “I have a boyfriend. (Side note, I’m gay)”
  6. “I haven’t used any excuses since I got out of rehab.”
  7. “I have an exam to study for.”
  8. “My blood pressure is really low.”
  9. “One time I faked a leg cramp in high school so I could ride in the elevator.”
  10. “I think I slept with oneDy of your friends.”
  11. “I’m visiting family in Maine. (Side note, no family in Maine)”
  12. “Way too much homework.”
  13. “My mom is in the hospital. (Side note, my mom hasn’t been around since I was 16)”
  14. “I’m violently sick to my stomach.”
  15. “My house is on fire.”
  16. “I need to take my roommate to the hospital.”
  17. “I faked a leg injury to get out of sprints in practice.”
  18. “My aunt fainted, we’re very close and I need to go to New Hampshire to take care of her.”
  19. “Can I give you an excuse later? My fish isn’t feeling well.”
  20. “I have to pick up my brother at a friends.”
  21. “I need to walk the dog. (Side note, I don’t have a dog)”
  22. “I have to do my laundry”
  23. “I called in tired.”
  24. “My step-dad is in the hospital.”
  25. “I have a doctor appointment.”
  26. “My grandmother died.”
  27. “I’m actually moving to Florida.”
  28. “I heard you’re bad in bed.”
  29. “My father is back in the ICU, he’s battling cancer (the second half was true)”
  30. “I broke my arm. (Side note, wore a sling to make it realistic)”
  31. (When caught making excuses) “I lied to see if you were telling the truth..”
  32. “Told my boss I had to leave to get a tetanus shot so I could spend the evening with my girlfriend.”
  33. “My mom says I can’t go.”
  34. “My neighbor’s house burned down and they don’t know if everyone made it out.”
  35. “My computer crashed this morning and I lost all of my homework.”
  36. “After hooking up with a girl I told her I had to leave because I had a paper due the following day.”
  37. “I said I broke my toe to avoid an ex-girlfriend’s family dinner. (Side note, wrapped it for weeks to make it more realistic)”
  38. “I said my step-dad died. (Side note, I don’t have a step-dad)”
  39. “No thanks, I’m white. (Side note, he’s not white)”
  40. “I’m going through a really rough break up.”

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
