If You Were A Crayon

What color would you be?

Everyone has a color in the crayon box that defines them, both good and bad types. This is a concept that my boss at work came up with and loves to remind us of often. Every person's defining colors are different, though, depending on what color is your personal favorite. Despite this, there are a few colors that hold true with almost everyone, and I'm here to shed light on these crayons for those who may not know their color.

The brown crayon.

That person walking right in front of you into class who drops the door right on you is so totally that annoying brown crayon that no one ever wanted to use. The brown crayon was good for nothing and never helped make your picture any prettier, similar to that person who just dropped the door on your perfect day.

The yellow crayon.

On the other hand, yellow is the perfect color to describe those people that are just blindingly happy. I mean, don’t get me wrong, good for you if you have the ability to wake up at 8 a.m. and be in a good mood, more power to you. But for those people that wake up every single day at 8 a.m. in the best mood ever and ready for the day, you, my friend, are a special color out of the giant 64-pack called vivid tangerine.

The red crayon.

The red crayon is your most loyal friend. It’s someone that you couldn’t live without, and neither could any crayon box. It is the most essential color in the rainbow, which is why it is the perfect description for the most essential person in your life.

The white crayon.

You know what color made absolutely no sense? The white crayon. Honestly, what was the point of it? You colored on white coloring books, so why was a white crayon needed? I’m sorry to say, but this is the person in your group project for class that just does absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, we all know this person a little too well and sometimes wish they just weren’t a thing.

The purple crayon.

The purple crayon is such a special one that is reserved for that person that would do anything for you. Purple is that friend you don’t see often enough but someone that you love having around when you can.

Everyone is a different crayon, whether you know your color or not. Some are the true eight colors that we’re used to and know so well, and some need to be described with those unique colors only available in the 64-pack with the sharpener and everything.

If you don't know your crayon color, ask around; I'm sure everyone could tell you. And watch out, because you don't want to be the brown or white crayon in someone's box.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
