45 Times That I've Cried For Questionable Reasons

If I'm being honest here, I cry way more than I should. What can I say, I'm a sensitive person and sometimes even the silliest things get the best of me. For all other sensitive souls out there, you'll probably find this article relatable but even if you don't, you'll definitely find it humorous. Here's a small list of things that have really made me cry for reasons that I am unable to justify at this time, or possibly ever.

1. I watched "Up."

2. I watched the animated short film about clouds that plays before "Up."

3. Listened to a song about dads and daughters.

4. Saw a fluffy kitten and realized that I couldn't have it.


5. I thought I was going to be evicted from my apartment and have to drop out of college and move home.

6. I thought about what I was going to do after graduation.

7. Saw an old person eating dinner at a restaurant by themselves.

8. My mom told me not to eat my feelings.

9. I ate my feelings, and then regretted doing so.

10. Somebody told me feminism wasn't important.

11. I had to wear a shawl to junior prom.

12. My orthodontist made me get headgear.

13. I thought about driving.

14. One of my college professors made me feel stupid in front of the class.

15. Boys.

16. Somebody insulted my choice of major.

17. A kid ran his truck into my parked car. In a parking lot.

18. Derek Morgan left "Criminal Minds."


20. Nicholas Sparks existed.

21. I got overwhelmed for no apparent reason, so naturally I cried.

22. My advisor temporarily ruined my life. For the 14th time.

23. I went to college.

24. Was forced to try on jeans and/or swimsuits.

25. Boyfriend left me for a month.

26. Boyfriend left me for a weekend.

27. I got a zit.

28. Attended a wedding.

29. Ran out of alcohol.

30. For no reason, but probably because pms-ing.

31. Took a wrong turn and ended up taking an hour and a half detour on the way home from college.

32. Someone made fun of my knee brace.

33. My parents did something nice for me.

34. Graduated from 6th grade.

35. Watched "Marley and Me."

36. Didn't sleep for a week straight.

37. My Big got alumni status.

38. Every damn time I have to leave any of my favorite people.

39. Saw an old couple on a coffee date.

40. Tried to play intramural softball and get embarrassed because of how bad I sucked.

41. Thought about paying bills.

42. Dropped my phone, cracked the screen.

43. I saw one of my friends crying.

44. Looked at my tuition statement for school.

45. Started crying, didn't know why I was crying...cried some more.

And those are just a few of the reasons why my tear ducts have led me astray.

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?

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?
