11 Things You Know To Be True If Your Name Is Abby With A 'Y'
Venice Buhain

The name, Abby, is one of the most common names in America. Odds are, you probably know more than one because it's something you just can't simply escape from. So, if your is Abby and you spell it the correct way, you can probably relate to more than one of these truths:

Your name is not Abbie or Abbey. 

I don't spell my name the wrong way.

You've probably never had your name spelled wrong on a Starbucks cup. 

Because everyone knows Abby with a Y is the way to spell it.

Yes, Abby is short for Abigail. 

Get over it.

You were almost always at the front of the line in elementary school if your teacher categorized you by your first name. 

By far, the best perk.

Making acrostics with your name was a piece of cake. 

It's only four letters after all.

You've probably had the nickname Abby-Cadabby.

Just like the Sesame Street character.

You've also probably been called "Abbs" at more than one point in your life.

Probably my least favorite, not gonna lie.

There's always been more than one Abby in your class/grade. 

So you were called upon by your first name and last initial.

You've probably gotten into an argument with other Abby's about who spells their name the correct way. 

Even though you know you're always right.

 You agree with the urban dictionary definition of your name on a whole new level. 

If this isn't me....

 Once again, it's Abby with a y, not "ie" or "ey." 

Just to reiterate.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
