When you start off as a college student, everything is new and exciting. You want to keep your new room looking nice and neat, you want to dress to impress every morning because you “have more time to”, and you want to “start the year off right” and dedicate yourself to your school work. I mean your classes don’t start until ten so you’ll give yourself an hour to get ready because getting up at nine is so much better than getting out at six for high school, right?! And you’ll spend every night at the library because it’s so cool in there!

Now these are all great goals and you usually end up succeeding at them for a while until, one day you just get to lazy or too tired to do your usual nightly straightening up so you just don’t. And that’s is where it all goes downhill because one “oh I’ll get to it tomorrow” turns into an “I really have to do that…”. The prefect example of this is laundry because you put it off for one night and next thing you know it’s been three weeks and you still haven’t done wash and your stuck wearing a dress on a really cold day because you don’t have clean pants. And this, amongst several other examples, becomes a never-ending cycle because as you go to do your wash and can’t even find the laundry basket under the pile of clothes, you also realize that your room is a mess too, then you start cleaning and questioning your whole week because “this places is a mess how did this happen?” So, you spend a good part of your day off, that you were planning on doing nothing with, cleaning and promising yourself that this will never happen again. Well like I said it’s a cycle, because you ultimately find yourself doing it again the very next weekend. It’s just like “senioritis” times ten and as a freshman.

Welcome to college.
