Memorable Moments In the Life Of A Dyslexic
standard.net

I was in the second grade when my teacher asked my mother to check if I had any learning disabilities, based off my performance. It was not much longer after that when I was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. Now, I honestly never paid mind to it, since I don't remember anyone telling me what it meant to have that.

The positive side is that I went through various funny moments throughout life (mostly high school) that I am willing to share with the world at the expense of my own embarrassment. But also, more importantly, that you, my dear readers, could potentially relate or at least have a better understanding of living with Dyslexia straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak.


*sees a joke on the internet* "My Doctor gave me a prescription for Dyslexia but my girlfriend swears it says Dyslexia." Ok, lol someone totally miswrote this and ruined the joke. How dumb. This should be so different, and like, I've heard this joke before, even, I think everyone should.

*realizes* It said sex daily.......I hate this.


Someone : Try spelling super
Me : Oh, that's so easy. S-U-P-E-R
Someone : Okay now try management
Me : M-management?.....let me think......*internally*

Someone : Are you okay?


Me : *reads actors names for The Hangover* Zach Ga.....Gale....Galick-phin--You know what. No.


Friend : Okay, now turn right
Me : *Turns left*
Friend : No, no, right. Right. RIGHT!
Me : I AM turning right!
Friend : No! Your OTHER right!
Me : ...

Me : *in the middle of a conversation* And I was just thinking that it's messed up how he can -- ooooh my gosh look at that dress. I want it, I don't even wear dresses but its too good-- hah so anyway, what were we talking about? Cuuus that place reminds me of this one time....


Teacher : Sabrina, you read out loud now for the class.
Me :


Teacher : Then what would the integral of xln(x) be?
Me : Psh, that's easy. Obviously it's (ln(x)*x^2)/2 + (x^2)/4 +C

Someone : Hey, whats 24 + 72 equal to?
Me : ......uh......
Me : *internally*

Someone : .......hello?


Me : *At Store*
Package : 150 ct/un
Me :


As you can see from the life experiences I have shared, living with these disabilities can be a laugh. At least for everyone else, and hopefully for everyone who's also had these or similar experiences. We know what it's like first hand, and it makes us more unique and ultimately better off, as long as we keep working to make ourselves better.

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.

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.
