As many of you will know, lent has begun. Having grown up in an Irish Catholic household, lent was always the worst time in my house. Chocolate was replaced with plain, lent ridden biscuits, fun was replaced with sorrow and trips to mass became far too frequent for my liking. Forty days and forty nights is a long long time when you think about it. Despite most of us growing up and realising that we'd prefer to never step foot in a church again, many of us succumb to the idea of Lent, usually in an effort to lose weight or just be less lazy bastards in general. Here are 32 things you should give up for Lent (but never will):
1) Alcohol, Anything To Do With Alcohol
2) Drunk Texting Your Ex
3) Bitching Unnecessarily About Nothing
4) Moaning About Absolutely Everything
5) Wasting Your Money On Super Healthy Food You'll Never Eat
