'Time to get some sleep' and 4 other ways your fitbit runs your life.

In This Article:

Since I got my Fitbit, it has become a huge part of my life. I have always been really into health and fitness, and all the lifestyle data the the Fitbit collects really impressed me. Not only does this little watch track my steps, but it also tracks my weight, BMI, workouts, sleep, periods. This thing does everything. But, after you have been using a Fitbit for a while, you realize this little thing is running your life.

"Time to Get Some Sleep"

Giphy

It's 8pm, you just got home from what ever you do before 8pm, and you feel that familiar vibration on your wrist. It's your Fitbit telling you it's time to go to bed, and you don't even question it. Yes, you have procrastinated every assignment you have due this week, but when Fitbit says it is time to go to bed, it is time to go to bed.

"Let's Get Moving"

Giphy

Somehow, it is 3pm on Saturday. You haven't left your bed at all, except to get food and use the bathroom. You feel that familiar vibration on your wrist. Is is a text message? Nope. It's your Fitbit reminding you how much of a lazy bun you are. You haven't even gotten 1,000 steps today, and you realize you don't really remember what outside looks like. So, you drag yourself out of bed. You throw on some workout clothes, and you go on a walk because when Fitbit say Let's get moving, you get moving.

The firework party when you get your steps

Giphy

It's one of those very busy days. You've been running here and there, and still have a billion things to do. You feel that familiar vibration on your wrist. Your heart sinks slightly - please, please don't be something else I have to do. Then, you look at your wrist to a beautiful firework show on your risk. You did it, you walked 10,000 steps. Fitbit is proud of you.

"You have x,xxx steps left today. Let's get it!"

Giphy

It's 11:50pm, you just got home from a long day. You have already missed your Fitbit's "Time to Get Some Sleep" message, and you really wish you had listened. You just get into bed, when you feel that familiar vibration on your risk. What is it now Fitbit? Only, 1,000 steps left for today. You mean 1,000 steps I definitely won't get tonight...but somehow you find yourself running around your apartment trying to get those last steps before it hits 12am. You win this time Fitbit because when you have 1,000 steps left, you get those 1,000 steps.

"It's walk o'clock"

Giphy

​You've been at work for few hours now. You have a stack of paperwork at your desk that does not seem to be getting any shorter. You get that familiar vibration on your wrist, and you fill with happiness knowing it has to be your Postmates waiting for your lunch break. But no, it is just your Fitbit reminding you that you haven't moved in a few hours, and you're supposed to get 250 steps per hour. So you get out of your chair, and walk downstairs to wait for your Postmates because when Fitbit says it's walk o'clock, it must be walk o'clock.


"250 steps complete. Good job!".

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
