  • - Every waste yout about to relate to this video.

  • (magical shimmer) (horse whinnying and trotting)

  • What up everyone it's ya girl Superwoman!

  • And I'm gonna be real, back in the day when I was in school,

  • I was actually a very successful student, okay?

  • I got good grades, I worked hard on my assignments, etc.

  • But, I had one kryptonite and that was my love for sleep.

  • Straight up, if I had a dollar for every time I chose

  • sleep over school I would be in Lil Wayne's crew being like,

  • "Young moolah baby" also not making any damn sense.

  • The problem was, the version of Lilly

  • that set the alarm clock at night was very delusional.

  • Okay, I need to leave at 10

  • because of traffic, so 9:30.

  • Although, I do think it's important

  • to have a complete breakfast with all four food groups,

  • so nine.

  • And you know what, I really could benefit from morning yoga.

  • So 8:30.

  • You know what, let's just say 8:00 a.m. to be safe.

  • I have a really good feeling about this.

  • (sigh)

  • Ho shut the eff up! Talking 'bout breakfast.

  • In the four years of university I legit had breakfast twice.

  • And both times it was because I swallowed my gum.

  • Girl, you know damn well what's gonna

  • happen the next morning.

  • (upbeat music)

  • Here's the thing, right, I can

  • shut off an alarm clock without even realizing it.

  • Like I will legit shut off my alarm

  • without even interrupting my REM sleep.

  • It's just second nature at this point.

  • Even those apps that they have made for people like me

  • that are like, "Your alarm won't turn off unless you

  • "answer this mathematical question."

  • That doesn't work on me because when it's 8:00 a.m.

  • and you love sleep as much as I do, I am Pythagorean.

  • And this is my goddamn theorem.

  • (upbeat music)

  • Carry the one...

  • Y equals mx plus b...

  • Hypotenuse...

  • (groan)

  • I before e except after c...

  • (sigh)

  • Hey, a little bed mass in bed, badum tish.

  • Hm, when the only way you can get your ex

  • in bed is through a math equation.

  • Shut up zoomed-in Lilly!

  • And once I actually figure out where I am

  • and what's happening, morning Lilly can

  • literally convince herself of anything.

  • (upbeat music) (groan)

  • Wait, what's that noise?

  • Oh, my alarm.

  • Eight? Why did I set it for eight?

  • Is it going off again?

  • Oh, crap, wait I have a test,

  • that I can think about in 10 minutes.

  • And 10 more minutes.

  • One last time.

  • Ugh, fine. Actually wait, it's Monday morning.

  • There's probably like no traffic.

  • I'll just sleep more and drive faster.

  • And grab breakfast on the way.

  • And I'm not gonna do my makeup.

  • Yeah, I love myself just the way I am.

  • Also, summer school might be really fun, just saying.

  • Ugh, okay I should get up, I'm gonna be late.

  • Although, wait, do you really wanna be someone who

  • believes in the construct of time?

  • Ugh, is this how you wanna live your life?

  • Don't you deserve a break for your mental health?

  • Maybe school is just an institution meant to enslave you.

  • Rebel against the system, Lilly!

  • You're not a puppet!

  • Eff the test, eff school, eff the system.

  • My name is Lilly Singh and I'm in control of my own destiny!

  • - Yo, you missed a test.

  • - Hi, Dr. Patel?

  • True story I probably got like 30 doctors' notes in my

  • university career and I feel like all students have this

  • deep-rooted ability to act because of this process.

  • I swear to god if I could do as well in my auditions

  • as I have done in doctors' offices, I would be a star okay?

  • I would be in like Lord of the Rings or something.

  • As the fat hobbit?

  • No, as like Frodo or something.

  • Hm? What's that fatty, you say you want fro-yo?

  • Can you stop?

  • Okay fine, I'm kidding, I actually saw you on TV

  • the other day, and you did really good.

  • Really, where?

  • A commercial for SeaWorld, effin' Shamu.

  • (groan)

  • But straight up, I would step into the doctor's office

  • like okay, what is my motivation, what is my backstory?

  • And honestly I've become a pro because I know exactly

  • which key elements are needed to lie to your doctor.

  • Blame a sickness that can't be measured.

  • I think it's my period, or something I ate.

  • (bell chime)

  • (pen click)

  • - Hold random parts of your body in pain.

  • - Yeah, I couldn't sleep all night.

  • (bell chime)

  • - Show various symptoms.

  • (sneeze) (bell chime)

  • - Excuse me, I'm so sorry.

  • - Bless you.

  • - Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

  • (cough)

  • You were saying?

  • - Poor thing.

  • - And always ask for a tissue.

  • - Excuse me, sir, can I just grab a tissue?

  • - Of course.

  • - Yeah, thank you. (bell chime)

  • Ugh, my nose, ugh.

  • You gotta sell your sickness, boo.

  • Okay, I don't care if you walk into the doctor's office like

  • "Yo, I just have cramps", you better be limping into

  • that office holding Vicks Vaporub with an eye patch, okay?

  • We going all the way here, and then boom,

  • doctor's note for $75.

  • Here's the thing, right, it's a two-way business

  • and both parties, they know what's up.

  • - [Woman] What was wrong with that one?

  • - Missed her test, probably slept in.

  • Charged her $50, gave her a discount.

  • She's a frequent customer.

  • - By third year of university I'd walk into that

  • doctor's office just like "Yo, Doctor P, what's up,

  • "give me the regular. Let's switch it up

  • "a little bit though, what do you think about,

  • like, appendicitis?"

  • Obviously, doctors know students are lying.

  • That's why they charge them.

  • In Canada, you can literally get hit by a car

  • and your healthcare will be free but if you need a

  • doctor's note, boom $100.

  • Like ho, you gon' pay for these lies.

  • Honestly the best thing school has ever taught me

  • is how to BS my way out of any situation.

  • Ugh, I should probably sleep early.

  • Although, you know what, I feel like I'm ready

  • to become a morning person, yeah.

  • I feel like I'm just gonna need less sleep moving forward.

  • So yeah, I will watch this movie with you.

  • Wait, let me set my alarm, though.

  • Okay gotta leave at 10, so nine, uh no.

  • I'm wanna totally redeem myself for the whole yoga thing.

  • Eight, 8:00 a.m., perfect.

  • I have a great feeling about this.

  • Every single night.

  • You wanna know what happens next?

  • (vinyl record rewind sound)

  • (upbeat music)

  • What's up bootyful?

  • If you like this video give it a thumbs up, like actually

  • do it, like believe it or not, that actually matters to me.

  • My last video is over there, bloopers for this video,

  • right over there, subscribe!

  • Because I make new videos every Monday and Thursday

  • and that also like, you know, that makes me feel good

  • and stuff yo, you know what I mean?
