5 Relationship Realities You Know By Now If You're The Girl Dating A 'Fortnite' Addict

"Fortnite" has taken over the gaming world within the past year, as well as the lives of our significant others and good friends.

My boyfriend quickly went from binging Netflix shows, something I could contribute to, to binging "Fortnite." Behind every "Fortnite" player is a girlfriend or boyfriend, wishing discretely for the destruction of the game.

Sorry, "Fortnite," but not everyone loves you.

So, here are some signs that you're in the club, whether you want to admit it or not!

"Where we dropping bois?"

Translation: The madness is about to begin.

Three beeps and a flying bus? Kiss your relevance goodbye.

Wondering why there is excessive clicking coming from the computer?

Well, you better hope a string of curse words don't follow.

Because then he will yell about how he died to the "the lag" and you will have no choice but to agree with him and fight to quiet a laugh.

If he asks "Oh my God, did you see that, babe?"

You always reply with, "Yes, babe."

Even though you have no idea what happened and all you see is a dancing person on his screen, you are, of course, proud.

The Friday Night Compromise

The compromise being that he gets to play one hour of Fornite as long as I get my cuddles right after.

It's only fair, right?

A Victory Royale

Translation: This is your chance to pull him away from the game so you better start talking.

"Yay! Great job, honey!"

*Distracts him with as many kisses as possible and pulls him away from the game*

Dear "Fornite," thank you for giving my boyfriend joy, however, I will gladly go toe to toe with you any day.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
