13 Struggles Every Cliche Lazy Girl Will Understand

To be honest, I just typed up my title for this article and resumed online shopping. It’s okay though, because I’ll probably be too lazy to go get my wallet and spend my own money to buy any of it. Maybe I’ll just screenshot my bag and send it to my mom as a subtle hint. I am your cliché lazy girl, and I’m only a little ashamed of it.

You set alarms to wake yourself up for future alarms.

Personally, I strategically place all my alarms in 12 minute increments. Snooze on the iPhone buys you eight more minutes, then it goes off again. After that, you buy yourself four more precious minutes of slumber before yet another obnoxious alarm.

You’ve also been known to require a wake-up call on a daily basis.

Oh, is that just me?

Your friends know you’re sleeping when you don’t respond to texts.

This is usually followed up by nine unanswered texts, three missed calls, and two angry voicemails. Sometimes, this has been known to go on for 14 hours.

People don’t question it when you go MIA anymore.

“Oh my god, where have you been all week?!” “Binge watching "New Girl" on Netflix with my dogs.”

Morning people are the worst.

It actually baffles me that people can be functional humans before noon, even without coffee!

Deadlines are your worst nightmare.

Some things are better done when you do them at your own pace. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t always agree.

“Did you do the ____?” “Uhhh no not yet.”

This should really go without asking. If we’re friends enough to be sending homework assignments back and forth, you should probably know that I save them until the very last minute.

Procrastination is second nature.

"Better late than never" has become your motto. As long as it's getting done, it's okay right? Right. Even when it comes to this research paper due last week.

You’ve forcibly learned to do well under pressure.

It’s just something that happens when you realize that you have two tests, a practical, and a quiz all in one week, and it’s already Wednesday. Somehow, you manage not to fail out of school, so good for you.

You’ve mastered the art of bullshitting.

It’s happened before when I’ve missed so many classes I wasn’t even sure when the final was. Luckily, I happened to stumble into class almost on time, sit down for the test, and walk out with an A. I didn’t hand in the homework due that day, but hey — you win some, you lose some.

Shopping is best done in the comfort of your own bed.

You were going to be too lazy to try that shirt on in the store anyway, might as well have it delivered right to your door instead of leaving your house.

Your bedroom floor and your closet look oddly similar.

Both consist of things you once thought about wearing, but tossed aside for a nice cozy pair of sweatpants.

Doing your hair and makeup is rare.

I don’t not care about my appearance, I mean I got out of sweats this morning and put leggings on so clearly I’m not that much of a bum! It’s just so much effort for no reason, we all know right when I get back to my room I’m crawling right back to bed! Plus, if I look ugly now, I’ll look extra good when we go out this weekend!

I'd write more but it's time for me to go to bed.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
