16 Things You Probably Relate To If You're (Always) Late

I'm that friend that is always running late or running behind. I don't mean for it to happen but it happens a lot. I'M SORRY!

I'm one of those people who is constantly late for things, and no, I don't mean to. I do try to get there on time but it seems like there's always something that I need to do still or something that delays me.

I try to wake up early but that just doesn't seem to happen. I can literally set like 10 alarms, and I'm still probably going to wake up late or end up going back to sleep.

When I do wake up early, (yes this happens occasionally) I end up thinking I have all the time in the world and so I end up still running late.

My friends/family get annoyed at me for running late. I am sorry. I really did try to be on time.

My friends/family start telling me an earlier time so that way when I'm "late", I might end up on time, maybe even early.

I'll be running late and end up hitting traffic, which does NOT help at all.

I take forever to get ready, and I'm still going to get completely ready even though I know I should be rushing and taking every short cut.

I'm probably going to grab something for breakfast or make coffee even though I should maybe skip it since it's going to delay me even more.

I have way too many clothes and deciding between things takes way longer than it should.

I'll be doing good on time and "ready" to leave and then I realize I've forgotten about 500 million things that I still need to do.

I'll be running late to something, like class, for example, and then I feel bad about showing about late, debate not even going, end up deciding I should go, but now I've made myself even later.

People tell me to be early to something, and I already know it isn't going to go well.

I end up texting my friends that "on my way," "be there soon," "almost ready" text or anything similar, and I'm probably still trying to get ready or haven't even left yet. OOPS!

I've met people who take even longer than me to get ready or run later than I do, and sometime's it's nice because then I'm not the late friend, but sometimes I'm like "wow so this is what I do to everyone."

I can have something going on later in the day and still show up late. I might've even had nothing going on beforehand at all.

Procrastinating might be your best friend, but it also sucks. I've waited to get ready or do homework, and then I'm rushing frantically and getting frustrated because I'm running behind.

I'll have something going on late in the day or have a lot of time to get ready, and instead of putting that time to good use (and maybe even being early), I end up sitting around because "I have so much time still". I swear sometimes I think I'm going to be on time, and then I don't know what happens. I end up realizing that all my extra time disappeared and now I'm probably going to be late.

I'm sorry for always being late and being the "late friend". I am trying to get better at being on time but I think it might take some more time! We'll see...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
