Coming from someone who gets distracted REALLY easily… getting up, dressed and somewhere on time can be the real struggle. We don't mean to be late, it just happens. Shout out to all my friends who still love me even though I frequently run late. Let me shine some light on how some mornings actually go… don’t worry you can laugh.
1. The Waking Up:
At this point, you are still half asleep. You snoozed your alarm hundreds of times and now you are about 40 minutes late.
2. The Initial Panic:
3. The Planning:
Okay so if I take an eight-minute shower, don’t dry or straighten my hair, and skip breakfast, I might be able to make it in time... but I am going to have to accept the fact that I will look like crap today.
4. The Distractions:
Even though you are running late, you still forget about time and manage to get distracted. What kind of distractions? I don't know... play with your dog, check twitter *again*, make faces in the mirror... does time REALLY matter?
4. The Being Overwhelmed:
WHY does everything have to look bad on me today. I DO NOT have time for this. Where in the world is my other shoe?
5. The Regret:
Why do I always do this? I need to start getting up earlier (as we say every time).
6. The Bargain:
What're another ten minutes? I mean I’m already going to be late, so I might as well grab some coffee, and maybe even a bagel… it won’t make that much of a difference.
7. The Speeding Debate:
Okay, so if I speed then I could make it in time. But what if I get pulled over? Well if I get pulled over then I will have an actual excuse to be late. Wait, I’ve never gotten a ticket before, and I don’t want my insurance rate to go up. Let’s just focus on driving. Be safe friends.
8: The Excuses:
Sitting in traffic, trying to come up with a good excuse that will cover you this time.
9. The Warning:
10. The Aggressive Driving:
WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU IN THE FAST LANE WHEN YOU ARE GOING A MILE UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. Sorry I have road rage.
11. The Embarrassment:
Do you think anyone will notice that I am running late again? What if I get in trouble? This is so embarrassing. I look like trash, and I am always running late.
12. The Celebration:
Okay so this happens on rare occasions, but that awesome moment when you get there right on time. Because of this accomplishment, you throw a party inside your head, but you have to act cool so no one will notice you were almost late again.
