10 Things You Know To Be True If You're Easily Amused
KR Connect

I am easily amused. Just tonight, I was at an event and we had a stack of 4 Operation games that we were cleaning up. A friend and I simultaneously pushed and held down all 4 red buzzer noses, making the boxes audibly vibrate. It was great. Easily the best moment of the night. Woo! Guess you just had to be there.

So, if you're like me, then you definitely agree with me on all these things.

1. You're Constantly Laughing (and probably moving while doing so)

There are several different laughs. We've got the chuckle, the awkward laugh, the courtesy laugh, and the, best, real laugh. That real laugh is intense. You're rocking back and forth and moving your hands and, most likely, being obnoxiously loud. Then, you probably just start laughing at how hard you're laughing. It's a wonderful cycle.

2. Everything is Hilarious

Especially if no one else thinks it is. If everyone else thinks something deserves the chuckle, you think it deserves the real deal. And you treat it as such, because obnoxious, remember?

3. Others Don't Get It

"Oh, my gosh, Becky. Pls, stop. You're being ridiculous. You better be glad you got that good hair." That's pretty much what you hear on the daily. People who aren't like us can't understand us. It's like we're an elite club or something.

4. People Look at You Like You're Crazy

You know that look you get when you start laughing. Everyone's panicking because they don't know how to respond in such a situation. They don't actually know what's happening when you bust out, so they get all deer-in-the-headlights-like and just shift their eyes around to each other, like "Do you get this? What's going on?"

5. People Know What You're Thinking

Everybody can read the emotions plastered across your face from a mile away. If they know you really well, they can see the laugh coming on. They probably still don't get why anything is funny though. It's too bad they don't have a sense of humor.

6. You're Never Bored


Boredom offers some of the best comedy. That's when you start to really get delusional and literally anything becomes funny. And then because you're "bored," you think you're tired and you start absent-mindedly rubbing your face while laughing and you look certifiably insane.

7. You're Prone to an Infantile Joy

Kids laugh at pretty much anything. So, people like us who also laugh at pretty much anything are basically children. Your amusement makes you feel the joy of being a kid again. Congratulations, kiddo!

8. Your Cheeks are Consistently Sore

Also, ribs. Those are a fun one too. If you aren't laughing, then you're definitely smiling. And too much of a good thing starts to bring the pain. But it's not a pain we ain't ready for. I ain't no snowflake.

9. Being Around Other Easily Amused People Rocks

People who think like you and get your sense of humor are so few and far between that if you find one, grab them in a vise grip and never ever let go. Literally ever. I'm really not kidding. They're super cool and fun and it's better to laugh with someone than by yourself.

10. You're Rarely Impressed

Just because things amuse you doesn't mean that you think that serious things are nearly as cool. It's much more difficult for me to think you've done an outstanding job on something than it is to get me to laugh at you. If you can combine the two, you the real MVP.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
