The Lies Students Tell...

Every now and again we need to pull a little white one out of the bag to get us out of a sticky situation..only thing is, these white lies have become ever so predictable...let's see if any of these are familiar to you...

I didn’t get the email

Or, It went into my spam, I never check that because its all emails about how to increase the size of your penis...etc

I’ll be five minutes!...

Not really student specific but it does begin when you're a student. Regardless of where you are you're only five minutes away. You speed demon you....

I will budget and I’m not going to spend money this week...

and then your friends decide a trip to coppers is on the cards

I will stop procrastinating...

Perhaps you will...perhaps you won't...perhaps.... shit..procrastinating again...

I will stop spending all my time on Facebook or Twitter....

Dear friends, I am taking a break from Facebook and all social media while I study for my.....Ha...like this is even actually ever going to happen. Wishful thinking 101

I will sort my sleeping pattern out...

I'm sure you will but those late nights and early rising to make your first lecture will take its toll eventu....zzzzzzzzzzz

So there it is....we've come to realise the message to students is that...
