15 Lies Girls Tell Themselves in College

1. I’m on a diet/trying to eat healthier, so I’ll pass on the triple-cheese pizza. 

2. Fine, I’ll stay for like 15 minutes and have one drink, but I’m leaving right after.

3. I’m going to start this assignment early so I don’t freak out the night before it’s due.

4. It’s going to be sunny tomorrow, which means I’m definitely waking up early to work out.

5. I’m just going to have fun with my girlfriends tonight and not drunk text my ex when I’m lonely.

6. I’ll start my work after this one episode of White Collar (because I totally have the self-control to say no to Matt Bomer).

7. I realize hooking up with him is a bad idea, so I’m going to end things immediately in a civil and uncomplicated way.

8. After last night’s tequila fiasco, I’m never drinking ever again.

9. No way am I snoozing my alarm clock tomorrow (which is why I set four backup alarms).

10. Let’s meet up at the library later—I promise I won’t distract you.

11. Sure, he’s hot, but he’s kind of a jerk, so that’s definitely not going to happen.

12. I’m only browsing the online sale, not actually shopping, because I don’t need those strappy black heels or that gorgeous bodycon dress.

13. I’m not even considering skipping my 9 a.m. class.

14. I don’t have time to hang out this weekend because I have “a lot of work to do.”

15. I hate boys.
