Everyone has that one friend who seems to have no emotions. If you don't know that friend, then it is probably you. Being the emotionless friend is a lot harder than it seems. Dealing with others emotions is extremely awkward for you, almost as awkward as dealing with your own emotions. Here are nine signs you are the friend who has no emotions.

1. Friends with feelings scare you.

When you hear that your new friend has a lot of emotions, you are instantly scared. It doesn't matter how nice or cool they are, you do whatever you can to dodge them when they say they have had a "really bad day" and want to vent to you.

2. When they do vent to you, you aren't sure what to do.

Trying to get them to stop talking about their issue of the day is a difficult task. You want to be a good friend, but it gets to a point where you just can't even figure out why they are getting so upset. So someone sent a sassy text to you? Get over it!

3. When the tears start, forget about it.

How does one even begin to comfort another person? Do you rub their back or try to hug them? Who knows. Whatever you do, do not laugh. I know it's tempting but that is probably the worst thing to do when someone is crying, but what do we know? We don't cry.

4. Being asked for advice is the scariest thing for you.

You have no idea what to say, because you have no idea what they are experiencing. You try to avoid this completely by making an awkward joke, extremely inappropriate for the moment.

5. Did I mention that comforting people is the worst?

You seriously have no idea what to do. If anyone has any suggestions on how to comfort someone, let me know.

6. Someone trying to hug you is very confusing.

What is this? If they know you don't do well with emotions, why do they think you would do well with this physical act of emotion?

7. The act of hugging is actually painful.

You do that courtesy 'the hug is over' pat many times and they still don't let go. Why are they trying to torture us, we just heard you cry for the past hour. That was enough!

8. You're the only one not crying during a sad movie.

You have absolutely no idea why they are being so emotional; nothing that big even happened.

9. When you finally feel your own emotions, you hide them very well.

You are a pro at hiding your own emotions. You don't let anyone see this side of you, because why would you! It's not part of your personality and that is okay with you. Just hide under that desk and wait it out, it will pass.

People will always say you have to get more in touch with your emotions, but you don't have to listen to them. If the emotionless lifestyle is working for you, than you do you! Keep awkwardly comforting people and fighting their hugs as much as you can.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
