Sarcasm is an art that runs in my family, so I've had the opportunity to perfect it over the years. Sometimes, though, it can be slighty probematic--particularly when no one knows whether or not you're being serious. Nevertheless, I think it's probably the cleverest form of humor, even if the mere mortals who are not fluent in sarcasm tend to be very confused to what us sarcastic people are talking about. If this seems to sound like you, read on to discover 13 problems that you'll only understand if you're too sarcastic for your own good:

1. You're the only one who laughs at your own jokes.

Conversations with my friends are often paused because I'll spend a good five minutes laughing at my own joke while everyone just kind of judges me.

2. People never know whether you like them or hate them.

Someone I considered one of my friends thought I hated them for a whole year because they didn't get sarcasm. (On the other hand, this is super convenient because you can be mean to people you actualy don't like and they'll just think you're being sarcastic :D)

3. Your sense of humor is really self-disparaging.

I'm at the point where I've called myself trash so many times that I'm not 100% sure I wasn't a trash can in a past life.

4. You tend not to like most people.

If they don't understand sarcasm, are they really worth talking to?

5. But once you find someone who gets your sarcasm, you feel #blessed.

Bffles for life.

6. On that note, you probably use #blessed in a sarcastic way way too often:


Ramen for dinner? #Blessed

Saw two dogs today? Actually #blessed

7. You don't know how to flirt.

Your version of flirting is kind of just insulting someone, which you see as 'lighthearted' teasing, but it isn't really the most romantic way to woo a potential bae.

8. People never know when you're actually being serious.

Even if you're upset, it's hard for people to tell if you're actually upset or just being sarcastic.

9. You've been in awkward situations where your sarcasm didn't translate over text messages.

Texting is not always your friend.

10. You're not always good at coping with emotional situations.

If you can't use sarcasm, situations sometimes get uncomfortable

11. You've accidentally insulted people who take sarcasm way too seriously.

And then you have to apologize and try to avoid being sarcastic for a couple days so they know you're trying.

12. You use sarcasm to avoid talking about your emotions.

But it's fine! Everything's fine...

13. At the end of the day, you still add some humor to other people's lives.

Those who consider sarcasm to be the "lowest form of wit" are obviously just not very sarcastic.

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.
