You Know Those Feelings You Cannot Explain?
Crescent June

You know those feelings you get that you can’t explain? They all have a name.

  1. You know when you’re driving or walking through the store and you start to wonder about the lives other people live? How they have a life completely different than yours? How you have different experiences? You wonder about their lives and how they have a mind that controls all their thoughts just like you do. That’s called sonder, and you aren’t the only one who does it.
  2. You know when you look around and you just watch the people around you and you know you don’t fit in? That feeling of being different. That emotion that tells you you will never fit in. never be like everyone else. It’s called monachopisis, and we’ve all probably felt that way before.
  3. You know when you look back to your younger self and you want to tell her/him you made it to the future? You never thought you’d reach the point where you have a license but you did. Where you finally go to college when you never thought that day would come. That feeling of contentment knowing you made it to a place in your life and wanting to tell the smaller version of you is called énouement.
  4. When you don’t know if flying cars will ever exist or if The Hunger Gameswill be a reality. When you know you won’t be able to see how the world turns out is the feeling of ellipsism.
  5. Those experiences you’ve had in life, the ones you know no one else has ever had to go through. The one where you can’t talk about it because you know no one can relate. It’s exulansis.
  6. You ever get annoyed by how much effort it takes just to get to know someone? You have to get past the awkward silences and the pointless small talk. You have to learn how someone really is. Get to know their personality. Their fascinations. Commonalities that connect you. That annoying little feeling of hardship is called adronitis.

There are so many more feelings we have had but could never be described. Go to this link to find out more: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/374924737715665523/s...

Honorary Roommate

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
