10 Real Confessions From An Overly Dramatic Person
Remezcla

Okay yeah I'll admit it, I'm extremely dramatic.


At all times, I low-key pretend I'm the star of my own telenovela. For those who can relate to this, know that's not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that you like to keep things interesting; you like the find the juice in even the driest of fruits.

If you think you may very well be an overly dramatic person (ODP) but you're not entirely convinced, take a gander at these confessions. If they ring true to you, welcome to the fam!


1. Your favorite method of communication is the phone call.

Texting is fine and dandy for relaying a quick piece of gossip, but nothing beats the beauty of spilling the deets right into the ear of your friend. They need to hear your tone of voice, the inflexions, they need to hear all of it to really understand why this phone call was necessary. They need to ~feel~ what you feel while telling them your news.

2. Any minor inconvenience is too much for you to handle.

You're telling ME, that I need to stay an extra fifteen minutes at work? Seriously?

You're telling ME, that you want ME to grab YOUR phone charger? Seriously?

You're telling ME, that you can't swap my eggs for more hashbrowns? Seriously?

3. LOL at constructive criticism

I laugh at it because there is no such thing. Any form of criticism is like a stab in the back. How dare you not think that I am absolutely wonderful at everything that I do?

4. You can't just tell someone something "real quick"

No joke, this is a true story. The other day, an old friend of mine surprised me at work. I hadn't seen him in a really long time so I was super excited to see him. As soon as he left, my coworker asked me who he was, and instead of saying something quick like, "oh he's just a really good friend of mine," I gave her a 10-minute response that began with the words, "the year was 2014, I was a sophomore at the university."

5. You cry about the smallest things

Things that can make me cry:

- Instrumental movie soundtracks

- Gum commercials

- Tasty videos on Facebook

- The sight of my dogs

If you're an ODP, you probably have your own list of arbitrary things that make you sob like a baby for no real good reason.

6. You are quite the exaggerator

What actually happened: "I was standing by the pier eating my ice cream cone when a seagull flew too close to me leading me to spazz out and drop my cone into the ocean."

What you tell your friends: "No joke, I was standing by the pier innocently enjoying my ice cream cone when this bald eagle swooped in and grabbed my cone with his talons of fury. He flew into the horizon with my ice cream in his grasp and now it's probably being enjoyed by his entire eagle family."

7. You get really into your television shows.

There's nothing better than being able to delve yourself into the fictional lives of your favorite television characters. Us ODP's love to sit around the TV and just judge these characters and their poor decisions. When life is boring, television gives you that fix of drama that you're craving. It's a blast.

8. Gossip is like water to you; you NEED it.

I'm not a real big fan of tea. I don't get the hype, it's literally just hot leaf water. But, what I do love is that...SWEET...JUICY...METAPHORICAL...TEA. That real good stuff that Kermit the Frog likes to sip on. ODP's love to be in the know. No piece of information can be kept away. Tell me all of it. Please. I need it.

9. You are deeply moved by the smallest of gestures.

If you're an ODP, you are overly touched when a friend does absolutely anything for you. They brought you your phone charger? You better keep that friend locked down because they are rare. They shared their fries with you? You better give them a necessary 5-minute speech letting them know how 'blessed' you are to have them in your life.

10. You can dish it real well, but there's no way in hell you're taking it.

You love to poke fun at others and make little digs here and there. You're not in it to hurt anybody's feelings, you just find it funny. But if someone does the same thing to you? OH HELL NO. That is not your friend. How DARE THEY? Don't they know how sensitive you are?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
