There's one word to describe my life in college: messy. Not all of us are those type of students who can keep it all together and look good doing it. This article is for all of you who wake up at 12 from last night's social with the X's still inked on your hands.
Picture this. You have your lecture at 12:50. You set your alarm for 11:30, but of course, you sleep through it and it's 12:25. You debate a fast shower or just putting on some decent outfit. I like to go for what I call a "sprint shower." It's literally a 3-minute shower, and yes it is possible. You also save UF on their water bill, so you're welcome housing department. As you look for your phone it's on 15% and in a friend's room down the hall.
"Why?" you may ask. You do not know and that's the mystery of your day. You brush your teeth and use the remnants of an already disposed deodorant stick and you’re out the door. Then you remember your keys are still in your room. You run to the elevator so it comes to you and knock on your door because you’re locked out. Your roommate throws them to you with a cheese stick for breakfast. You’re on a roll! If you’re lucky, you’ll have a class in Turlington and can Tapingo a Venti Iced Coffee from Starbucks so you can survive your mere 50-minute lecture on the conjugations of Spanish verbs. Tapingo gives you an alert that your drink is ready and you’re feeling good.
You flirt with the barista because you’re in a great mood, but remember your hair is looking like half a bird’s nest. It’s ok. Life goes on. It's 12:45 and you sprint pass either Impact or Inspire political representatives who just want to discuss their viewpoints. However, they have no idea the day you are having and politely decline. They'll most likely follow you to your class and you suck it up and hear them out for a solid 2 minutes. You open the door to class and you're in your seat at a chilling 12:48. You feel accomplished and satisfied. Then your teacher tells the class to take out your pencil and begin your exam.
In the wise words of Teddy Duncan, "Good Luck Charlie."
