19 Signs You’re Living the SWUG Life

So let’s cut to the chase, because we SWUGs have no time to waste when a nap and a bottle of Pinot are calling our name! Senior year is in full swing and by now you’re probably a full on SWUG (Senior Washed-Up Girl) even if you didn’t realize it. In fact, we’ve all been SWUGs in the making for a while now. The closer we got to the end of college, the more we started trading our jeans in for sweats, parties in for the comfort of our own rooms, and boys in for pizza. And are we ashamed of it? Heck no! We’re about the SWUG life and we’re proud. In fact, if these 19 signs apply to you, then you’re one too!

1. You’re in bed by 10 p.m. most nights with no intentions of waking up before noon

2. And you will not allow anyone or anything to ruin that precious sleep

3. Food is your number one priority! 

4. You have no desire for hook ups

Unless of course it’s a 2 a.m. visit from the Domino’s delivery boy

5. You know you can’t miss class so you pregame it to make it bearable

6. You’re chronically late and will make zero efforts to change that

7. And there’s no way you’re showing up in anything but sweats

Cue the shit show!

8. In fact, you’ve been recycling those same yoga pants and that sweatshirt for weeks now

9. As long as you can BYOB (of Pinot that is) you’re down to consider leaving your room


10. But if you do make it out, you’ll use any lame excuse to leave early

11. And heels?

Just no!  

12. Routinely wearing makeup too?

Just more no! 

13. You’re recognized by supermarket employees because of your weekly wine purchases

14. And the walk to get said wine is the most exercise you’ll be getting

15. So you’re convinced wine is your true soulmate

We cannot stress enough the importance of wine in a SWUG’s life

16. You’re counting down to the minute how much time you have left at school

17. But you’ve had the thought that you’re not going to graduate at least 43 times this week

18. “I’m too old for this” is currently your most used phrase

19. But most importantly, napping is the highlight of every day

Well, second to drinking wine of course!
