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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
