Here we are again. We’re back on campus, we’ve settled in and we have deemed this semester to be the one that we achieve a 4.0 GPA, while also maintaining the coolest social life in the history of cool social lives. Really, this semester it’s going to work.
You wrote it down, you laminated it with the tape in your desk drawer and you stuck it up on your wall: your list of “To Do’s.” This list will keep you so organized there’s no way this semester will be anything but the best one yet.
The only problem is that you woke up at 10 a.m, because you totally got stuck watching an entire season of Friends on Netflix the night before (whatever.) So now there’s definitely no time for the gym and forget about time to make the super-cool, healthy breakfast you saw on Pinterest. As you rush out the door on your way to class, you see the list out of the corner of your eye. You tell yourself, “definitely starting that tomorrow.”
Here are the nine things you said you would do this semester that you have already failed to do (or in your defense, just haven’t started yet.)
- Go to the gym everyday
- Go to bed early
- Wake up early
- Create better study habits
- Cut back on your intake of caffeinated beverages
- Eat fruit or vegetables with every meal
- Don’t use your phone in class
- Get involved in another club
- Give yourself “you” time so you can watch a couple episodes of your favorite show in between studying (wait, no you definitely did this)
