Is College Making You Lazy?
College changes people. For better or for worse. Perhaps college is even making you lazy!
College is for many young adults the first time they are able to live on there own, away from any parental supervision. With that kind of freedom comes a lot of responsibility. Sometimes being responsible is too much effort though, and it’s easier to just be lazy. Are you becoming lazy? Check out the list below and you’ll know just how lazy you’ve become.
When the dining hall is right next to your dorm but still too far away
Winter is a cruel, cruel time to be on a college campus. You’ll probably hibernate in your room and dig around for snacks before even thinking about going into the frozen tundra for prepared food.
When you attempt to shave your legs and just have to give up
Blame it on the weather, society or the size of the communal bathroom’s shower stall, but your legs will go a little hairier than usual for the four years of college.
When you need a nap two hours after waking up
Maybe staying up late to finish Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was a bad idea?
When you don’t finish a book for class but don’t even bother checking its SparkNotes
Pro tip: Listen to what others are saying in group discussion and just chime into everyone else’s opinions.
When you buy more clothes (*cough* underwear) so you can do less laundry
Give me a couple more pairs of underwear, and I’m a happy, carefree girl.
When you use plastic utensils to avoid washing dishes
The environment hates you, but you don’t have to clean up.
When you just don’t want to go to class, so you lie to your professor about being sick
“Hi, Dr. So-and-so! Unfortunately, I’ve woken up with a stomach bug and I don’t think I can make it to class today…”
When you end up debating with your roommate about who has to get up to turn off the lights before bed
If I throw a shoe at the switch, will it turn off?
When dry shampoo has become your best friend
You know you’re a college kid home for a break when you have the time for a long, hot shower that includes no flip flops and actually washing your hair.
When you’re so lazy that you don’t even feel like eating meals
If you are having dinner on a lazy day, it’s probably whatever’s left in that bag of chips next to your bed.
