Ten White Lies That Are Relatable AF
Jac Vanek

The truth hurts. The answer to this sad pain: little white lies. White lies are a way to bend the truth. Maybe we tell these simple lies because we think we're helping our friends by not hurting their feelings or we just don't want to justify the sad truth. Either way, these ten white lies are too relatable to deny.

1. “I’ve had (fill in the blank) sex partners.”

We all know you subtract at least two sex partners from your list (maybe even more). You don't want people to think you're sleeping around. What's the big deal about bending the truth a little?

2. “Let’s totally hang out! It’s been forever.”

This is the perfect white lie for the awkward "I don't hang out with you anymore because I don't like you anymore" situation.

3. “I don’t think I'm gonna go out tonight.”

Yeah right! You know your favorite frat is throwing a party and you can't miss out. FOMO will hit you right in the a$$ with this one.

4. “I didn’t fart.”

Whoever smelt it, dealt it.

5. “No no no, I SWEAR he’s soooooo cute!”

When you ask your friend to show you his Instagram and she clicks on his 17th photo from the top, get ready for your lying face!

6. “I am 100% stable, fine, perfect, not on the verge of a mental breakdown.”

Sometimes we just have those days where we feel like we might die from sadness. But, lying to people always makes you feel better. Plus, who wants to explain why they are sad for absolutely no reason?

7. “I am so over him.”

But you just texted him? And hooked up with him last weekend? And just stalked his Instagram/Twitter/Facebook/Spotify/Vine/etc.? No one wants to admit they aren't over their ex.

8. "I am so over it."

Are you? Are you really over it?

9. "I don't care where we eat!"

We all know people have preferences for either Qdoba or Chipotle, Kneaders or Panera, Firehouse Subs or Subway, so why don't we just be honest! Is it because we are trying to be nice? The world will never know.

10. "I'm starting the homework a week early this time!"

One hour before the deadline and you still have to read seven chapters. At least you tried!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
