“I set my alarm.”
Ha!

“You hold it and I will light the fuse.”
PLEASE, don’t try this one at home.

“I took my pill, right?”
Whatever pill/medication it was…you better hope you took it.

“I was told that this course was easy.”
Grade school was easy now you are taking a course in the economics of Medieval Europe.

“I will call you later.”
Friends, family or significant others…they are all easy to forget or accidentally blow off.

“I will clean up later.”
Roommates love to hear this one.

“I will get an early start on the semester’s reading.”
Tomorrow that is…

“I won’t call him or her.”
Direct opposite of the above call you later. This one involves a potential date or fight with a significant other. It comes down to battle of willpowers really.

“I’ll buy him/her a new bag of chips tomorrow…they won’t notice.”
I saw many a roommate brawl over an empty bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos.

“I’ll go see my academic advisor next week.”
Did you know the collegiate average for when a student first meets their academic advisor is sometime in the SENIOR year and usually to find out if or when they can graduate?

“I’ll just borrow their notes.”
Of course they goes on the assumption that the person you borrow them from is not a Neanderthal student with a 1.8 GPA.

“I’ll take better notes next time.”
With that attitude you might as well buy them

“I could have sworn I had twenty dollars in my account.”
Usually heard in front of an ATM or upon receiving bounced check notice.

“Don’t worry…I’ll pay you back.”
Yea….right!

“During the break I will catch up.”
Again, right!

“Forget this. I will skip this chart…there is no way it will be on the test”
It ended up being 50% of the exam.

“Going potluck or rooming with your best friend will probably be ok.”
Setting yourself up for years of therapy or an episode of the X-Roommate files…

“I aced that exam!”
Funny how ace comes to mean a grade of C.

“I am going to start going to bed earlier.”
It was a nice thought though.

“I just have to make an A on the final to pass.”
This is a personal favorite of mine. I love to see students calculating, refiguring and yet again computing what is needed in order to get the grade they want or desperately need.
