16 Things that are Actually Way Worse than Going to Class

I am writing this post at 1:30 in the morning. I am very very tired and very very sleepy and all I really want to do is maybe read a book, but mostly I want to sleep; I want to put on my comfiest sleep shirt and sleep pants, and cuddle up with my favorite blankets, and sleep a glorious sleep. I definitely do not want to set an alarm before I go to sleep. But remember, not every day can be a Pajama Day.  Also, being the college student that I am, I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO CLASS IN THE MORNING. However, I am going to go to class in the morning. Do you know why? Because there are tons of things that are WAY worse than going to class when you're tired. Mostly, I can think of 16 things.

1.) Stepping in dog poop. This is the worst thing ever. Which shoe is it on? Whose shoe is it on? Can I get it off by wiping my foot really forcefully in the grass, or is that how it got there in the first place? Crap...I think it's on my sock. It really stinks to step in dog poop.

2.) Finding another person's hair, or tooth, or fingernail, or a bug in your food. Need I say more? 

3.) Being unprepared for the weather. Nothing, and I repeat nothing, is worse than being cold on day that was supposed to be warm, or being wet on a day that was supposed to be dry.

4.) Forgetting to bring a pen. I hate borrowing pens from people simply because they may have put that pen in their mouth. Ew.

5.) Letting someone borrow a pen, which is probably your favorite pen, and then not getting it back. This is in fact devastating. 

6.) Losing, running out of, or otherwise destroying your favorite makeup item or chaptstick. Especially if the product is no longer carried. That's just sad. 

7.) Writing a 13 page research paper only to have your computer crash and lose the whole thing...the night before it's due. 

8.) Discovering that the delicious snack you were about to eat actually expired last weekend. 

9.) Getting food poisoning from the aforementioned delicious snack that you ate anyways.

10.) Stubbing your toe. Twice in a row.

11.) Tripping, falling and all other components of clumsiness consisting of looking like a newborn giraffe in a public place. How embarassing! 

12.) Realizing that you forgot to put your clothes in the dryer after you've already left to go out of town. Just imagine that mildewy smell...mmmmmmmm.

13.) Going to change a sweet little baby's diaper and then getting peed on. This has actually happened to me on more than one occasion.

14.) Accidentally putting A LOT of taco seasoning on your homemade oatmeal because you thought you were reaching for cinnamon...then wondering why it smelled like tacos at breakfast time..then realizing that it's actually coming from your breakfast. Not like I know how terrible this is from experience or anything...

15.) Realizing all too late that you're out of clean underwear.What are you even supposed to DO in this situation?!

and finally...

16.) Actually, literally running into a glass door that you thought was open (it wasn't) and not only hitting your head super hard, but also falling down onto your bum, in front of more than 3 people. This really really is no fun.

Some of these things are things that have actually happened to me, and some of them are things that have happened to my friends and some of them are things that have probably happened to you, and they're all pretty gosh darn terrible! So when you think that going to class or going to that pesky little meeting that'll probably only last 20 minutes is just the absolute last thing you want to do, remember that things could always be worse, and you're probably lucky to be going to class or a meeting in the first place!! 

Stay Positive!
