FANGIRLING 101

Hello, welcome to Fangirling 101. In this simple 345 word course I will give you a simple 5 step tutorial on how to be a fangirl. Urban Dictionary defines "Fangirl" as "A rabid breed of human female who is obsessed with either a fictional character or an actor."

Step 1: Find someone/something to fangirl over.

The subject of a fangirl is very important. This is a human or item that can inflict such a strong reaction, that you are very literally screaming, and fanning your arms, and just making a huge fool of yourself.

Step 2: Internet Stalk your subject.

After a couple weeks of extensive research, you should know a lot about your subject. You should know what their favorite color is, when their birthday was, who their friends are, pretty much everything about them. From their favorite color to the closest they have come to dying as a child.

Step 3: Find someone to fangirl with.

At this point, you have probably found a large community of other crazies fangirls. Plugging yourself into a group of others can be very important. Fangirling with other people makes you feel a little more sane and a little less sad. Just a little.

Step 4: Find a way to meet the subject.

This can be accomplished in a few different ways. You can go to conventions/converts/shows and wait in line for meet and greats. Or you can sit in the bush outside their apartment until they come outside, then "casually" run into them.

Step 5: Try to make a good impression.

With making a good first impression you have the ability to move from fangirl to actual friend. This may not happen for everyone, but it has been known to happen. Just ask Dan Howell and Phil Lester. Who knows, you may just be a fan, but you also may end up like these chuckleheads.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
