It’s like they’re speaking a different language.
Campus Student: “I’m kind of tired. I think I’m going to stay in tonight.”
What they really mean: “I’m going to decide at the last possible second to go out. You’re only young once!”
Campus Student: “I’m going to the library. I really need to do well on this exam tomorrow.”
What they really mean: “I need to go find a nice place where I can spend some time on Facebook and Twitter without being interrupted.”
Campus Student: “I’m going to get a head start on this coarsework.”
What they really mean: “There is the slightest of chances that I may start this coarsework 30 mins before the handing in deadline is due.”
Campus Student: “No more embarrassing interactions with boys/girls for me!”
What they really mean: “Stay out ‘til I make out with one of the other straggling zombies at the bar!”
Campus Student: “Just one more drink and then I’m headed home.”
What they really mean: “My friends and I are a drunken hurricane of destruction. Nothing can stop us from closing down the bar.”
Campus Student: “I love my roommate!”
What they really mean: “I love my roommate, but sometimes I want to strangle them.”
Campus Student: “I’m totally going to participate more in class this semester.”
What they really mean: “It will be a miracle if I say one word in class this entire semester.”
Campus Student: “I’m going to do laundry.”
What they really mean: “I’ve been wearing the same pair of underwear three days straight.”
Campus Student: “I’m going to try some new activities. I want to be more involved with campus life.”
What they really mean: “Is there a varsity beer-chugging team?”
