15 Lies All Students Tell Themselves

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

 

1)      I work better at night – may as well have that lie in

2)      I’ll wake up early and finish that reading in the morning

3)      There’s really no point in me going to the library today – it’ll be far too busy

4)      I don’t need to go to that lecture, I can get all info from the slides online, right?

5)      Free entry to the club… that’s basically a free night out

6)      Yes I’ll come… but I’m only going to have one drink

7)      I can leave that revision until after the weekend. I work better under pressure.

8)      Calories from food after a night out don’t count. I danced off more calories than that anyway

9)      Spending £50 on an outfit for the end of year formal is totally acceptable. I mean, it’s once a year

10)   I’ll only watch one episode of Pretty Little Liars, then get back to work

11)   I really can’t go to the gym now. I’ve, like, just washed my hair

12)   The walk of shame is acceptable around a Uni town. People understand.

13)   I’ll just grab an innocent smoothie with my meal deal; that’s basically the same as my 5 a day.

14)   20% off at ASOS is a completely legit reason to buy everything I want

15)   Everyone has been kicked out of a club at some point for being too drunk- it’s like a rite of passage

 

Are you guilty?
