9 Signs That You're Actually Sid

Sid the sloth is an iconic character and we should be lucky to be like him!

If you haven't seen any of the "Ice Age" movies, you should probably do that ASAP. But if you have, while you may have wished you could relate to any other character you probably found yourself slowly coming to the realization that you are, in fact, just like Sid—maybe not exactly, but you're more similar than you'd like to be. However, when you meet another Sid, you stop acting like Sid and either act like Manny or Diego. In rare cases, you might be an Ellie, Buck, Crash or an Eddie. But most of the time, we are Sid, and here's why:

1. You don't appreciate mean jokes.

While you might have a dark sense of humor sometimes, you know where to draw the line. And you get suspicious of people who do make mean jokes because they could make them about you for all you know.

2. You play it cool even when you're dying inside.

You gotta show the world you can handle whatever it throws at you, even if it hurts deep down.

3. You can always depend on your charm and good looks...or just your charm.

The good old mirror cracking to really boost your confidence.

4. You like to use finger guns.

If you've never used finger guns, then you're probably not a Sid. Good for you! You can be a Manny or a Buck!

5. "You're hanging out with us now, buddy. Dignity's got nothing to do with it."

When you bring a new person into your friend group and you've reached the point where you don't even try to act "normal" at first. What is normal? Wellllll, probably not this. This is like level two in a friendship when you know they'll laugh instead of silently judge you for your quirkiness.

6. You don't want to die alone.


Nobody wants to die alone, so a new foolproof plan is to have your friends find you a significant other after you die and then say, quite sadly, "They loved you very much."

7. Your maternal instincts come out when you see an animal.

Your inner mom skills come out when anything that could be perceived as cute comes by and you need to adopt it immediately. But this doesn't mean you have perfect mom skills by any means!

8. You didn't listen to someone when they said don't do the thing...and you paid for it.

Did you expect to be right? No, and now they're going to say, "I told you so," and act all smug while you wallow in being wrong.

9. You say and feel this on a daily basis.

You feel like this after five seconds of being alone, right after you send a message and don't get a response within a nanosecond, or just in general.

Being Sid is neither a good or bad thing, it just is. After five movies, the "Ice Age" franchise has still not managed to destroy him. He is funny, silly, and just all around relatable.

And if you're not Sid...get out. Get out fast!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
