Sometimes, it's better just to say nothing.

7 Things That I Totally Love Hearing About Myself
Tomberry

If you're like me, you absolutely LOVE hearing things about yourself that you seemingly already didn't know. I've been in kind of a slump recently, and I can honestly say that hearing things that I already know helps me a ton! Just to shed some light on the subject, here are some things that I just LOVE hearing from other people!

1. "You look so much better with makeup!"

Oh really?!? I had no clue!!! That's totally NOT why I cake my face in makeup every day!!!

2. "Your hair looked so much better longer!"

Yeah! This is totally helpful because I totally WASN'T regretting my decision to cut it in the first place.

3. "Wow, you're really blind."

This often comes after people putting on my glasses OR after I fail an attempt at reading something or identifying a person from a distance. I totally didn't know before you told me. Thank you.

4. "You're going into Theatre Education? You're not gonna make any money in that field."

Yeah, because I totally didn't know that going into this.

5. "You're really loud."

Once again, thank you, for pointing out to obvious. I must not have been able to hear how loud I was because I can't see.

6. "You're always in your room, don't you ever do anything?"

Yes, I do. I'm perfectly fine. You don't need to check on me.

7. "You'd be a lot cuter if you didn't snort when you laugh."

Wow, yeah, because I totally wanna run out of oxygen when I'm laughing.


Moral of the story is, think before you speak. Because people MOST DEFINITELY wanna hear all the crappy, annoying things they already know about themselves repeat over and over.


P.S. for those of you who didn't get it,

Christmas tree

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. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
