30 Signs Your Emo Phase Is Over
We Heart It

Ah yes, the emo phase -- something that is the inevitible for the majority of us; like going through that awkward tomboy phase. Some of us go through in early middle school; others early high school. I was a "late bloomer" as some may say. I didn't go through mine until Junior year of high school and it didn't end until the middle of Senior year. ..Yikes. These are 30 signs that I was finally over my emo phase; maybe some of you could relate.

1. Your Instagram bio is no longer band lyrics.

2. ..or possibly three or four of your favorite band names followed by heart/music note emojis.

3. Your username no longer consists of several bands combined into one, possibly with the letter "x" on both end (i.e. xpiercethemotionlesssleepingfallingbridesx)

4. You no longe follow 300 band accounts dedicated to posting daily photos of band members.

5. Whenever you hear somebody play the G note, you no longer get teary eyed.

6. High exposure and close up selfies just aren't a thing anymore.

7. You actually listen to the radio on your own free will.

8. Listening to mainstream artists aren't cringy anymore.

9. Black no longer is the only option when doing your nails.

10. Your closet becomes significantly more colorful.

11. Black skinny jeans are no longer the only pants you own.

12. You buy other pieces of jewelry besides a million black wristbands and junky necklaces with band logos on them.

13. You actually shop at Victoria Secret.

14. You can walk past a Hot Topic without the uncontrollable urge to turn around.

15. Black eyeliner is no longer the only makeup you wear.

16. When you think of summer, Warped Tour no longer is the first thing that pops into your head.

17. You realize that pink is actually a really nice color.

18. You can completely see out of both eyes.

19. Your camera roll is no longer 99% band members and 1% family/friends.

20. You find more effective ways to occupy your time besides reading hours of fanfic or watching band interviews.

21. Converse and/or vans aren't the only footwear you own.

22. Your closet is no longer jam packed with band merch (most likely consisting of at least ten articles of clothing from the same band).

23. Skulls are no longer your pattern of choice.

24. You no longer take overly dramatic selfies.

25. You now have other OTP's besides Kellic and Jalex.

26. You've developed this strong love for glitter.

27. You realize that romantic comedies are actually really cute.

28. You find yourself singing along to songs that actually contain zero screaming whatsoever.

29. You no longer feel a sense of angst toward society.

30. You're smiling to yourself right now because all of these describe you.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation.
