Let’s face it, college is hard, and sometimes we need to tell a little white lie to make it all a little easier. Here are some of the most common lies told by college students:

1. I’m never drinking again.

Blacked out? Threw up? Woke up on the middle of your floor? Had the spins? You bet you’ll still be going out next weekend.

2. I’ll catch up on the reading.

Really? We all know that if you put off the reading, you’ll get behind. And we all know that you won’t really try to make it up.

3. I’ll start my paper tonight.

Is it due tomorrow? No. So I guess I’ll just start it tomorrow…

4. But, I studied really hard.

You get a bad grade on a test and could have sworn that you put so much time and effort into studying. But out of the hours and hours that you spent on your computer, how many were spent stalking people on Facebook?

5. I can’t, I’m busy.

Chances are that when I said I couldn’t hang, I really wanted to watch Gilmore girls and snuggle in my bed without being social.

6. I’ll go to the gym after class.

Said you would go to the gym when you woke up and it never happened? Odds that you actually get your butt to the Plex are slim.

7. I’ll go to sleep early tonight.

You’ve heard it. You’ve said it. You’ve preached and you practiced. You basically did it all… all but fall asleep when expected.

8. I’ll dress nice for class.

On the night before waking up, it may seem like a good idea to set the alarm a little early in order to straighten your hair and put on a dress. But, we all know the extra 15 minutes of sleep will win and you will, again, look like a bum going to class.

9. I won’t watch Netflix until my homework is done.

Now, it’s all about that compromise. Do a math problem and then watch an episode. I think that’s fair.

10. I’m on my way!

Always add at least 10 minutes to my estimated arrival time.
