12 Signs You’re a Chronically Late Person

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Scranton chapter.

Everyone is guilty to showing up late once in a a while. However, for some people (including me) the struggle of being on time is a little too real. Here are 12 signs that will verify if you truly are a chronically late person.

1.You’ve said the words, “I’m leaving now,” but have not even roll out of bed yet.

2. You’ve decided to get food/coffee before class and realize that by doing this you’ll be late. You continue to stand in line. 

3. You have perfected tip-toeing late into class without your professor noticing you.

4. Your classmates place bets on your punctuality.

5. Your professor congratulates you when you are on time.

6. You were once SO close to being on time, but the people in front of you were moving so slow that once again you were late.

7. You’ve made up ridiculous excuses for being late instead of just admitting that you were to lazy to get up and get ready.

8. You are able to get ready in 5 minutes because you’re so used to running late.

9. You’ve strolled into a movie 10-20 minutes late on multiple occasions.

10. Your friends almost/have left you behind because they are sick of your lateness.

11. You’ve lied and said there was traffic when there really wasn’t.

12. You’ve accepted the fact that you will never be on time for anything and take the Queen of Genovia’s approach.

*The Queen of Genovia is chronically late, therefore there is nothing wrong with being late. Embrace it, love it.*

 

Jordan Gruttadauria is a NEPA native that can't wait for a New York City lifestyle. She is a senior at the University of Scranton majoring in Strategic Communication with a concentration in Public Relations and minoring in Theatre. When she is not working on one of the theatre productions at Scranton, you can find Jordan either eating a burrito or binge watching Law and Order: SVU on Netflix(I mean who doesn't want to grow up one day to be Olivia Benson). Jordan and coffee are a bond that cannot be broken, so if you see her on campus expect her to have coffee cup in hand. She is very excited to start writing for Her Campus and share stories with other girls on campus. Follow her on Instagram @jordangruttadauria and on Twitter @jordaaann13
