Seven Types Of Cousins

I bet you have at least one of these.

Cousins are an important part of our lives, you either love your cousins or you hate them. And if by chance you are born in a "Brown family," then I don't even have to explain how many cousins we have or how much fun it is when everyone gets together. Nevertheless, we can all relate to having these particular types of cousins.

1. The Cool Cousin

This is the cousin that everyone just loves, you don't know why but you love them, too. He/she has the smarts and wits to keep everyone in a good mood, and has a caring personality. Usually this is the oldest cousin in the family.

2. The "Too Cool For You" Cousin

This is the cousin that is a bit ignorant and at times even rude. He/she doesn't want to associate with the rest of the group on a family trip and is often irritated with the world. Usually the cousin that just entered their teen years. Although it's pretty funny to "people watch" this person.

3. The "One" Cousin

This is that one cousin that your parents compare you with all the time! Why don't you get good grades like him? Why aren't you an athlete like her? Why are you so lazy? Learn something from your cousin! You especially have to deal with this if you are born to Brown parents. #desiproblems

4. The Pretty Cousin

This is the cousin that's stunningly gorgeous and you wonder why those family genes didn't get to you. Usually a girl, but every now and then it's a guy, and you take a million selfies with them.

5. The Weird Cousin

This is the cousin that you knowingly or unknowingly steer away from. They're the one that don't fit into your group, and when they do, they creep you out.

6. The Knowledgeable Cousin

This is the person who is extremely smart and excellent at academia, more like a walking encyclopedia. They have knowledge about anything and everything-- if you have trouble in school, this is your go-to person.

7. The Mature Cousin

These are the soft spoken and understanding cousins. They are easy to talk to, they listen to your problems, and even help you come up with your own solutions. Your parents are at ease if they come with you on a trip, sometimes to the point that they trust him/her more that you. They are usually the humble one in the group.

Tag a cousin! And let us know who you relate with!

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
