11 Ways My Life Has Had Absolutely Zero Chill Since Mercury Has Been In Retrograde

In This Article:

Starting on July 7th, Mercury has been in retrograde. If you know anything, you know that this means life is going to get a little crazy. This was multiplied by like 12,000 for me. It seems like since like July 7th life has been borderline unlivable. As a Leo, the stars seem to always have it out for me, but it took it to a whole new level. Here are just a few of the things I have had to go through thanks to this dumb rock moving weird.

1. Waking up like, at least 3 times a night

I don't think I have had more than like 5 good nights of sleep since the 7th, so I have been actually exhausted everyday, I can barely make it until my 2pm nap without dozing off.

2. My hair has been an absolute disaster

I have not been able to get my hair to look good in what feels like forever, but I did the math and it has actually only been since July 7th. Shocker. I mean, I got my haircut 2 months ago, and have even stopped shampooing and using any sort of product in it and it still looks greasy and flat. It is the actual worst.

3. My room has been soooooo messy

My room has been a pig-sty for weeks. Even when I take everything on the floor and push it into one corner, it still feels like a mess. There is just nothing I can do until Mercury gets its act together.

4. My friends keep canceling plans

I have had pretty big plans this summer, and usually they work out great, whenever I ask my friends if they want to get ice cream last minute they always say yes. But last week, I must have asked my friends if they wanted to go to Europe next month like TWICE, and it seems like nobody. is. down. It's like, why can't my life just be NORMAL.

5. 

6. My parents haven't been letting me do ANYTHING

So yesterday, I asked my mommy if I could go to Europe with some friends next month (hoping my friends might agree eventually), and she said no! Like, what? What the heck is my life even!!! She is absolutely insane, just let me LIVE.

7. My Airpods keep getting tangled in my pocket 

Need I say more?

8. My car keeps running out of gas. 

When I was away at school, I wouldn't have to full my car up for MONTHS, maybe like once or twice if I was home for a week. Now it's like, always empty. I keep having to stop by a gas station to put a dollars worth of gas in it and that will last me a day if I'm luck. WHAT IS MY LIFE.

9. I get hungry

So this thing has been happening to me recently where I will eat a fairly large meal, like a hard boiled egg or something like that. I should be full right, but every time I eat it's like 20 minutes later I feel the need to eat again. Granted, I am trying to lose a little weight, but I didn't know that that would require being mildly peckish for more than 5 minutes. Mercury, just move FOREWORDS already.

10. I broke both arms in my sleep

This art tickle took along thyme two right with voice-to-text not gun a lie ellipsis no type dot dot dot no ...

11. I didn't get a lot of tips at work once

I worked for like 3 straight hours at this golf course one day, like I always do, but I didn't get a lot of tips for some reason. AND on top of that it was pouring rain all day so I got wet when I walked to my car after they let me our early. Thanks MERCURY.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
