As I've gotten older I have realized that sometimes doing stuff the "easy" way is actually the hard way. For example, a teacher gives you a reading to do for homework. A "good" student would read the whole thing and take notes on it, but us lazy folks would use Sparknotes or some other website to get the main gist of the reading.
Another example is not making your bed when you wake up. It seems like a simple task, pulling the blankets up, but in my case, that's an extra minute of sleep that I missed. Plus, I'll be sleeping in it in less than 18 hours.
Even though I'll end up making an ass out of you and me, I'm going to assume that most, if not all, friend groups have the "lazy" friend and if you take the time to read this whole thing, I'd say you're probably not that friend.
In the case that you are or you know who that friend is, you'll relate to or recognize all of these things:
1. Sweatshirts, sweatpants, yoga pants and leggings are your main wardrobe staples
Each of these take very little effort to put on and depending on where you are or what you do, it may be best to be comfortable (especially when you have class at eight o'clock in the morning).
2. Makeup takes up too much time
You have nothing against people who wear makeup but you don't have the patience to stand in front of the mirror to perfect a look that if you make one mistake messes up your whole day.
3. Washing your face at night is a a foreign practice
If I wash my face in the morning what is the point of washing it again? It's not like I put makeup on while I was sleeping.
4. The elevator is your best friend
Even if it's just one floor above, you'll stand and wait at the elevator for five minutes as everyone passes you, wondering why you don't take the stairs, because it's easier.
5. If you had it your way, walking would been left in the twentieth century
You'd rather drive the five blocks, struggle to find parking and have to walk a quarter of a mile from your parking place than just walk the five blocks.
6. You live on Ramen while at college
At home, the kitchen was right there or you had a mini fridge in your room; At school, unless you live right next door to the dining hall, you'll have to do some walking to get non-ramen food
7. You will watch something you absolutely hate if the remote is out of arm's reach
If after you sit down to watch TV, you realize that the remote is on the table on the other side of the sofa, you will just watch what's on until someone comes in and can hand you the remote
8. If your friend is more than ten feet away, you text them, even if they're in the same room
And when they don't answer right away you watch them until they finally do, maybe even doing a fake cough to give them a hint
9. You will carry all your groceries in one try, or die trying
A second trip is not option, even if you have a carload of groceries
10. You accept that you're seen as lazy because you know you'll eventually get stuff done, and that
If you do each of these things, you're not lazy, you are very selective about what you participate in. Welcome to the club.
