I Lied About Studying Last Night

So I had this one midterm coming up for my biology class that was just killing me. I spent the entire weekend studying and cramming, but when Monday rolled around, there were these delicious-looking pastries at the coffee shop right across from campus. You know how it is, you’re stressed out, tired, and suddenly a big slice of chocolate cake with frosting just looks too good to resist. So I did resist the midterm temptation and got myself some dessert instead. And then, like an idiot, I texted my roommate that same night saying, “Hey, I’m hitting the books all night! Wish me luck!” because I was feeling guilty and knew she had been staying up late too, so I didn’t want to appear slackerish or lazy. Well, naturally, when we met in our study room the next morning, she asked me how it went and if I learned anything cool. And there I was trying to recall my biology notes from a day ago while still feeling like an imbecile for having been distracted by sugary carbs. I think she saw right through me, but hey, we both laughed about it after class anyway, so maybe everything is okay in the end.
