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.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
