Let's face it, we all make really stupid mistakes. And we always say we're going to stop making this dumb decisions over and over again. But then before we know it, we're making the same mistake for the millionth time. Why do we keep fighting the inevitable? Let's embrace the things we can't change, and listen to that devil on our shoulder.
Accidentally getting blackout on a Tuesday.
It's been a long day at work, you didn't take a lunch break and 3 drinks in you realize you haven't eaten today. But you know what, you deserve to relax so you order another one. And maybe 2 more after that. WHO CARES? This is college, and in the real world you'll be considered "an alcoholic", so drink up while you can.
Going out to the bar on nights we have stuff to do.
Unless it's a major test, there's always room to procrastinate a little more. I am the queen of procrastination. Life should be fun and a night out with the girls is fun. Going to bed early is not fun. I'm not saying you should stay out so late you don't get whatever it is you needed to do the next morning, but just long enough to have a good time.
Making out with that hot guy you just met.
He's really hot and you're into him, so just go for it! Who knows? This could end up being the love of your life. Why not take a chance? If he doesn't end up being the love of your life, at least you made out with a super hot guy. Right? It's just some innocent fun.
Skipping class.
This one I wouldn't do all the time, because your education is important. But a class here or there to go to the beach isn't going to hurt. They always say salt water cures everything, so spend as much time there as possible. And besides, it's hard to focus in class if you're stress, so might as well relax on the beach.
Going shopping with money you don't have.
You have your whole life to be financially responsible while you repay all those student loans, so go shopping while you can! So what you eat mac and cheese for two weeks? That new Kate Spade bag is totally worth it. And you know your parents won't let you starve, so go ahead and blow your paycheck on a mini-vacation with friends.
Eating fast food.
Whether is 1 PM on your way to the beach, or 2 AM on your way home from the bar, GET THE NUGGETS. Just do it okay. Carbs are your friend, carbs will understand you. You can eat healthy once you have a stable job. Get the nuggets, they're cheap.
Waiting until the last minute to study and pulling consecutive all-nighters.
Like I said, I am the queen of procrastination. As a result, I have mastered the art of cramming for a test and surviving an all-nighter. Trust me I've heard it all. "Courtney you need your sleep." "Courtney your going to fall asleep during your test." "You can focus if your tired Courtney." I can, and I will. So have fun, stay out too late, and then grab a coffee so you can stay up all night learning everything you need to get that A. And then nap all day after your test. You deserve it.
Life is short. So just say screw it and live in the moment. You have the rest of your life to be boring and responsible. So make these dumb mistakes while you can, and while it's still socially acceptable. You're only in college one, amiright?
