9 Things You Hear if You Curse “Too Much”

There are a few comments you'll hear if you are someone that curses “too much”, or so they say. You know that it’s no big deal and are aware of when it’s OK to let your conversations consist of $@%#^%&#%. Some others just don’t get it, so if you’re a seasoned potty mouth, you’ve heard at least one of these lines.

1. "You sound like a truck driver."

This is a saying that has been around FOREVER. Do truck drivers even curse that much? This really gives them a bad rap, but you hear this time and time again because your casual conversations sound like a Lil Wayne song.

2. "Is that how you talk to your teachers?"

This is a favorite go-to for parents everywhere, so if you’ve heard it, you’re not alone. Obviously, I’m not going to tell my teacher that the amount of work we have to complete for next week is BS, but the post-class conversations among classmates is a completely different story.

3. "Is that how you are going to talk in an interview?"

Another parental favorite! As students, we’ve all taken it upon ourselves to seek higher education at whatever colleges or universities we attend. Parents, have some faith that at the very least, schools discuss interview skills at some point! So no, I will not drop an F-bomb as I exit.

4. "Since I started hanging out with you, I curse so much more!"

We all have that friend we met in college that maybe practices a different vocabulary than you, but nonetheless, you're still great friends. After hanging out a few times or maybe having some classes together, you become more comfortable using words that properly express your current emotions. Then, your new friend tells you that someone noticed that they’ve had more of a foul mouth recently, and it’s because they hear you curse. H-E-Double hockey sticks, no! Everyone should remember to take accountability for their own words and actions.

5. "Watch your language!"

This is one of the more common lines you’ll hear. But sometimes it’s a good idea to check yourself and be aware of who you are saying certain words in front of! Save it for the perfect time and don’t overdo it, especially in front of the wrong people.

6. "That’s not very ladylike/gentlemanly of you to say."

This is 2016! I think everyone has taken it upon themselves to decide what they feel is ladylike/gentlemanly and appropriate. If you’re really in the wrong, hopefully you have a good friend that can catch you up to speed, but for the most part, just keep doing you!

7. "One day, a curse word will slip out by accident!"

Is this not the exact same thing as saying the wrong thing to the wrong person by accident, whether it was a curse or not?! Everyone and their mother has these slip-ups at some point in their life; at least a curse word might make it slightly funny!

8. "That’s such a bad habit."

Yes, we know, but, it will never go away. We can try to use certain words less often or under our breath, but these special words of explosive emotions will ALWAYS be flying around in our heads. That's not a bad thing - it’s just more relieving to say them out loud!

9. "Well, F*#! It!"

Get around all of this by befriending people who don’t care about what colorful vocabulary has stuck with you (better if they're even finding it funny sometimes). They are words just like any other and should be used accordingly. Now F*#! off!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
