I'm Here To Tell You What Life Is Like As A Weeb Because, Well, I Am One

I'm Here To Tell You What Life Is Like As A Weeb Because, Well, I Am One

You either live long enough to see one or become one. Yes, I am a weeb. For those who don't know the proper definition, a weeb is a person who is heavily interested in anime and Japanese culture and includes Japanese words and phrases in their everyday speech while spending large amounts of money on anime and manga products.

It's not as bad as you think. Yeah, you might be considered a social outcast, weird, anti-social, and have a harem of gorgeous waifus, which I see as a win, but you still have anime right beside you. I'm just glad I don't give off that vibe to people. If I'm gonna give off a weird vibe to someone, I'd rather have it be for something else than for just being a weeb.

Now at some point in your life, you've probably wondered, "Man. What's it like to be that obsessed with anime and Japanese culture?" Hopefully, this either changes or affirms your opinion on weebs, but please do keep on thing in mind: Whether you hate us or love us, 2D will never break our hearts.

That's a joke. You can laugh now.

1. Anime Anime Anime

You ever just have a list of shows that you have in your watch later list? You ever just keep adding more shows to that said list, and your backlog just keeps growing and growing? You do? Good. Now take those shows and replace them with anime. I can't get enough of it. It's literally the main thing I watch. Yeah I watch other shows, but anime will always be number one in my eyes. There's just something about it that just entices me and makes me wanna watch more and more of it. It's almost like how everyone's attached to new episodes of "The Bachelor."

2. Meet The Waifus and Husbandos

Everybody has done this in their lives. When you're watching a show or a movie, you say that an actress and actor is cute/hot, and you say how you wanna marry them. Well, replace them with anime characters and real people. If they're male they're called husbandos, and if they're female they're called waifus. You might be wondering if I have any waifus. Yes, yes I do. Ibuki Mioda from "Danganronpa" is #1 best girl. Does that make me a loser? Maybe, but then again, other people fantasize about themselves with other celebrities they have zero chance of getting with, so I say we're even.

3. ​Anime Art & Drawings 

Maybe this part is just me, but I can't get enough of anime art and drawing. I follow about like 50 accounts on Twitter dedicated to reposting art, and it's just so aesthetically pleasing. I'm honestly kinda envious that I can't draw like that, not that I can draw like that at all, so following a ton of accounts kinda eases that pain a little bit.

4. Wanna See My Playlist?

My whole playlist on Apple Music is mixed with real music and music from anime soundtracks or from Japanese groups. If someone saw it, it would instantly shock them because they don't get that nerdy weeb vibe from me. Want some suggestions? Snow Halation and Miku. Check them out if you're interested.

These are the main generalizations about how weebish I am. Like I said, when people see me, it's honestly not that bad. It's not that I'm treated differently or anything. It's almost like a shot. It's quick and painless, like a quick shot. So I hope this gave you some idea of what it's like to be a weeb. Just promise me the next time you see one, don't be a dick. Thanks, senpai.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
