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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
