10 Things You Know If You're Dating A Gamer

Gamers are a special kind of people who possess a certain set of characteristics that might make them a bit hard to understand to most, but if you've ever dated a gamer or are dating a gamer, you'll realize soon enough that you can't help but love them.

1. They are LOUD!

Seriously, it's like they have megaphones down their throats amplifying their every scream. They are constantly yelling so loud that the neighbors can definitely hear them. But hey, gotta let their teammates know how angry they are every four seconds.

2. They are the kings and queens of insults.

They honestly come up with the absolute worst things to say to people who have wronged them during a game. No clue where they come up with it all. It's also surprising how much they just roll off the tongue.

3. They spend hours at a time ignoring you.

You can literally walk around the house naked and they won't notice you.

4. They get their frustrations out.

They can spend hours at a time screaming their head off and then be calm as a doorknob as soon as they disconnect. It's like therapy for them.

5. You CANNOT walk in front of the TV screen.

God forbid you walk in front of the TV and get your honey killed. If this happens, leave the house and don't come back… I'm kidding, they'll get over it. Come back.

6. You can talk, but they won’t hear you unless you hit them.

Have you seen that movie "Click" with the remote that can freeze time? It's kinda like that. They're sitting there and you could literally be yelling over their yelling and they wouldn't even know you were there.

7. They will even skip meals sometimes if the game is just too intense.

They'll say they're hungry and then three hours or so pass, and they're still on the Xbox. Hunger is a mere annoyance.

8. Sleep? What is sleep?

You're trying to sleep? HA. Good luck with that. Your slumber means nothing to them. It's like their yelling has only one setting: all the way up.

9. You hardly ever have anyone over anymore.

Who wants to have friends over when that series y'all are binging is interrupted constantly by angry screaming from the next room? Yeah, not cute.

10. They demand every ounce of attention they can get from you when they're done for the day.

They spend hours ignoring you but get their feelings hurt when you don't give them your undivided attention at all other times. It can be slightly annoying, but you know you would do it.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
