20 Things Only People Who Excessively Sweat Understand

Everyone sweats, but while some people will produce one bead of sweat on their forehead while running a marathon, others can fill a large bucket of sweat while sitting in the shade watching that marathon. This article is for the bucket-fillers of the world, the people who sweat nonstop. For those of us who can produce sweat in places some never knew possible, here are 20 things that only people who excessively sweat can understand:

1. Your outfits/makeup/hair get ruined before you even get to the party.

2. The inability to even raise your arms in public is all too real.

3. Your closet is full of all the dull colors, except for light grey and white... So basically just black.

4. Wearing layers is never worth it.

5. This happens way too often.

6. And even though these were created for people who write left-handed, your strongly considering getting one.

7. It looks like you are on the verge of death when you workout.

8. You sweat off antiperspirants before they have a chance to work.

9. Hand dryers are always go to sweat stain dryers.

10. Avoiding hand shakes like the plague, but if unavoidable, then casually drying your sweaty hands off on the nearest piece of cotton.

11. You're the only one who's excited for summer to end and winter to come.

12. You're embarrassed to admit some of the things you've used to try and help stop the sweating.

13. The feeling of peeling your sweaty thighs off the chair.

14. Swamp ass has eliminated the ability to wear any sort of fashionable colored shorts or pants.

15. You hate people who supposedly "don't sweat".

16. That nice, greasy shine to your face 24/7.

17. You have no clue how people can make sweating look sexy.

18. Fans are God's gift to us.

19. People probably think you have a cold because it looks like you are constantly wiping your nose, but really you're just wiping your lip sweat.

20. You're pretty positive your sweat is out to ruin your life.

We are the sweaters of the world. We sweat until our clothes are ruined and people begin to give us weird looks. It's what we're good at sweating, so it's what we do. There are times in your life where your sweating may seem like it has ruined everything, but once you've learned to accept it, it becomes a part of who you are. Who would I be without my clammy hand shakes and trips to the bathroom so I can sit under the hand dryer? So here's to the sweaty people of the world, may our sweat bring many more awkward encounters and dull colored clothing to our lives.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
