I just read about an article which title is ” 4 things that everyone has been through before , would you be an exception?” And I am definitely not the exception,here it is.”1. I’m not talking too many things on vacation. “I wish I could shut my suitcase smoothly. “I got so many cool plans,I need to get everything done today .” Doesn’t everybody delay? “3.I will start saving money, no more useless expenses. I’ve decided.” But I don’t know why, but I need this pair of shoes right now. “4.Just one episode of my favorite TV series, I promise.” Then I probably stay up till morning. I feel like it just talking about me.

I just read about an article titled / called “4 Things That Everyone Has Been Through Before, Would You Be an Exception?”, and I am definitely not the exception. Here it is:

1. “I’m not taking too many things on vacation.” I wish I could shut my suitcase smoothly.
2. “I‘ve got so many cool plans, I need to get everything done today.” Doesn’t everybody delay?
3. “I will start saving money, no more useless expenses. I’ve decided.” I don’t know why, but I need this pair of shoes right now.”
4. “Just one episode of my favorite TV series, I promise.” Then I probably stay up till morning.

All of the above, story of my life!
