11 Weird Habits Nobody Knows About Me

Do you ever think that everyone around you is completely and 100 percent normal? That you're the only one with weird habits and thoughts that pop up in your head? Well, if you're reading this, you're not alone. Thanks for stopping by my article and watching me shed light on 11 of the weirdest things I do that nobody else knows about but me. Enjoy!

1) When I'm walking, I check the bottom of my shoes every hundred steps or so. Don't ask why, because I don't know. For some reason, there's this nagging voice inside my head telling me I've stepped in some side poop or done something to scuff up my brand new shoes. Bad habits get the best of me.

2) I roll my upper lip up enough so that it's directly under my nostrils. Again, don't ask why. It's something I've done since I was a kid, and it's just something that's stuck with throughout my whole life.

3) I swipe on an insane amount of deodorant. It's one thing to put on a good amount of deodorant so that you refrain from smelling like body odor when you're out and about. But I wipe it under my armpits like I'm washing myself or something. And then I'll even go back for more.

4) I sometimes measure the length of my sentences based off of each one of my fingers on each hand. No idea why, but it's almost like some type of personal game I have played ever since a young age. The goal is to hit each finger for a total of 10 words.

5) I constantly tug at my bedroom door to see if it's locked before I go anywhere. It may be normal amongst people to do it once or twice, but I continue doing it as if I don't believe it's locked. This goes on for a good 15 seconds before I finally snap out of it and realize the door is locked and that I gotta go! I know what you're thinking...O.C.D. much? No. I mean, maybe.

6) I wash my hands after every bathroom use. Even if I didn't physically use a toilet or urinal, I still wash my hands. Fixed my hair? *Wash* Grabbed a paper towel? *Wash* Checked myself out? *Wash*

7) Whenever I'm strolling to and from class, I imagine people, or even myself, jumping across different rows of buildings that I stroll by as if the imaginary person is some type of ninja or something. Don't judge! Imagination is good for you!

8) I enjoy watching weird videos on YouTube. Ever seen a video of a pimple being popped? I have. Ever seen a video of a scab being pealed? So have I. Ever seen animals giving birth? As embarrassing as it is to admit, I have....with some friends. Story for another hour, though.

9) At the end of the day, I like to stand in front of the mirror shirtless and just check myself out. Don't tell me you never look at yourself for long periods of time in the mirror.

10) I have actual conversations with myself in my head. Whether it's making a decision, taking a test, or just internally criticizing myself for doing something extremely humiliating and embarrassing, like writing this article. I'll even refer to myself in the third person.

11) I love using my finger tips to bend back the top part of my nails on my opposite fingers. Sometimes to the point where I feel a satisfying twinge of pain.

Well, there you have it. 11 of the strangest facts about me not a lot of people know, and not something I usually bring up in a conversation with somebody. I hope most of you can relate to some of them. If not, then I hope you're thinking of the 11 most weird personal things you do and enjoy when you're not around anybody. Because let's face it, we all have them!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
