Wait.. What?

11 Struggles As Told By A Forgetful Person
Michael Youssef

Sometimes your friends tend to tell you "I already told you this." Well, I consider myself as being more than just a forgetful person, but things will get better. Hopefully. I can be a bit delirious; in other words, my short term memory sucks! I often tend to remember the most random memories, numbers, and what you wore four years ago. Some people may think it's my ADHD, then again I'm simply a forgetful person. But I embrace it, and here are some key reasons you should too.

1. Texting someone back on the same day simply doesn't happen.

Your friends probably know this by now.. use it as a free pass when you REALLY forget to answer.


2. Forgetting your password is very NORMAL in your life.

Probably writing it down is a good idea, and your worst nightmare is having a 17 character password. As if!



3. You're often anxious that you’re forgetting something.

Just why brain.. let me get some sleep.




4. You constantly ask your friends to remind you of important conversations.

And you still manage to forget.. why world!



5. You're thankful of having Facebook to remind you of important birthdays.

Pfft! I know my best friend's birthday. Right?!


*Still checks Facebook* #blessed

6. Finishing sentences doesn't exist in your life.

"Um. Huh. Yeah, I can't remember." Michael Scott is your role model.


7. You often feel the need to lock your car more than once.

BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW! Very simple. Better be safe than sorry.


8. Remembering the most random stuff is your best quality.

This simply means your stories include vivid details - if you finish your sentence of course.


9. Because your room often looks like this.

Sticky notes are your best friend!


10. You spend too much money buying agendas because you forget where you put them.

Buying Kate Spade's agendas is the best thing that will ever happen to you.



11. Missing deadlines is very common in your life!

My worst nightmare..



We can at least agree that forgetting to reply your friends text message has its perks! Therefore, being a forgetful isn't that horrible. It's all right to forget important things from time to time as long as you don't forget your best friend's birthday. It can be a little scary forgetting important tasks, but we are just humans. It happens to everyone. At least, Meredith Grey can agree with us in this one.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
