5 Reasons Why I'm Basically A Succulent

A good way to understand someone is to ask what type of plant they see themselves as and why.

A good way to understand someone is to ask what type of plant they see themselves as and why. Personally, I see myself as a succulent because I need so much care and love to grow properly and even STILL, I might randomly "die" on you and require even MORE love and care than you thought possible of a succulent. In case you wanted to learn a lot about me, here's an important list of reasons why I'm essentially a human succulent.

1. Without enough sunlight, I become sad

A sad succulent is very noticeable and makes you feel like a garbage plant owner. However, when I get a little sad, give me some beautiful sunshine (with proper nutrition) and I'll become a whole new woman...or succulent in this case.

2. When I don't have enough water, it's obvious

I'm extremely unhappy when I'm dehydrated, but also if I drink so much water that I have to pee every ten minutes, I'm super unhappy. I require a very delicate balance of water, much like a succulent.

3. I require love and affirmation

If you don't provide a succulent with enough love and care, it will wither up and look like garbage. I am very similar. I'm a fairly needy friend and I love when people express their feelings towards me (even if it's just a random "I love you" text. It's the little things after all).

4. Once you wrong me, it's over


This one time, I bought a succulent from the Saturday Market and then went on vacation for three weeks and completely forgot about my new plant. When I got home, it was obvious the plant was dying, but I did everything I could (which, mind you, really isn't much), and the plant still died. I wronged this succulent by leaving it alone for three weeks IMMEDIATELY after I bought it, and it never forgave me. I'm very similar (only I won't die, but I WILL ghost you).

5. I'm easygoing

It's okay if you get really busy and don't water a succulent for a couple days. You just have to remember it exists so you're not neglecting it. I might be a needy friend, but I'll understand when life gets insanely busy and you only have time for yourself. But as soon as you completely forget about me or blow me off multiple times, it's OVER. Just like a succulent.

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.
