Why are girls consistently so late? They just can't help it. Our internal clocks are always just a few minutes behind, or maybe more for some of us. Arriving on time to class is a challenge every morning. If you're continually finding yourself being the last one to walk into class, here are 13 possible reasons why you didn't quite make it on time.
1. You spontaneously tried a new hairstyle....that you hated
You decide to curl your hair a little differently, but your curling iron has taken over. You try and run your fingers through your hair, but it only becomes a jumbled frizzy mess. There's not a fat chance you will leave the room looking like this and you HAVE to fix it. You're late, but at least no one will mistake you for the reincarnation of Albert Einstein.
2. You tried on 20 different outfits
You open your closet and stare at your clothes dumbfounded. You try on your new top from Forever 21 and think, "No, this shirt looks just like a knock-off of the Anthropologie shirt I actually want." One thing leads to another and all your clothes are now on the floor. With one minute left before class starts, you put on a t-shirt because you've just given up. You're late.
3. You stabbed your eye with your mascara
You've applied foundation, eye-liner and eye-shadow. Wow, you even contoured a little. To finish off, you apply mascara to your eye lashes and suddenly your back-up alarm goes off (you know, the one that sounds like a siren going off signaling a zombie apocalypse) causing you to jump and stab your eye! Tears fall down your cheeks ruining your perfectly air-brushed look, and your mascara is everywhere. You know you must start over. You're late, but at least you don't look like a clown.
4. You got caught stuck in bed checking social media
Your natural instinct is, of course, to grab your phone to wake yourself up. As you start to scroll through your Instagram feed, you realize that you've looked at a year's worth of photos from your friend that went off the deep end since they went away to college. Thirty minutes have now gone by and yeah... You're late.
5. You were trying to impress someone
Word on the street is that McHottie is crushing on you. There's no way you're going to let this one get away, so you go the extra mile to look as put together as Michelle Obama, no matter how long it takes. Perfect outfit? Check. Perfect hair? Check. Perfect make up? Check. Late? Check. Maybe you're not so put together after all.
6. You forgot to check the weather
You slide on your skinny jeans and slip on your favorite sweater. Loving your trendy style, you walk outside feeling ready to take on the day. However, it's so blazing hot that your skin is already sizzling, and you've only taken five steps. OK weather, bipolar much? You know you'll be miserable all day, and will sweat more than a man who's about to meet his future father-in-law if you don't change. That's right, you're late.
7. You just don't mind being THAT girl
You walk into a full class, embrace the glares and the dirty look the girl in the front row throws at you as you confidently make your way to an open seat in the back. Unashamed, you take your seat and get settled. You are late and a proud disruption.
8. You decided to wear shorts and realize you have to shave your legs
You are stubborn and have it set in your mind that you WILL wear your hipster high-waisted shorts. However, your legs resemble that of a woolly mammoth. You know no one will actually notice, but you fear that your porcupine leg hairs will steal the limelight from your fabulous new shorts. There's no debate here; you take the time to shave your legs in the sink and now... you're late.
9. Your bed was just too warm compared to the Antarctic weather outside
Your bed was so cozy and soft and at the perfect temperature. You just couldn't get up, could you? You know that leaving your bed will be equivalent to getting hypothermia after doing the polar bear plunge. Gratefully, you rest for an extra 10 minutes. Lazy and late you are.
10. You debated too long on skipping class
You just can't make a decision to skip or to not. You could say you're getting ready for class, but really, you've paced around the room and come up with a solid 10 good reasons to not go. You have a test you could study for, you could take a shower or maybe call your mom! After you've spent the morning debating with yourself, you realize that your professor takes attendance. Good luck, you're late.
11. Your roommate steals the shower before you
You are towel wrapped and ready to rinse and repeat. You exit the bedroom noticing that your roommate is now suddenly missing. As you approach the bathroom door, you hear the squeak of the faucet, followed by a burst of water. That thief. At least you're late and it wasn't your fault this time.
12. You're rewarding yourself for being on time last week
You let out a drawn out yawn and make your way around the room in a sloth-like fashion. You take the time to comb every individual strand of hair and eat a gourmet breakfast, aka microwavable oatmeal. There's no need to rush, you deserve to be late.
13. You overslept your alarm
Classic.
