You still go into Hot Topic

Sure you'll tell all your friends you're going ironically but in reality you know that they're having a huge sale right now and you've been eyeing these black skinny jeans for a couple of weeks.

When you hear that one G note on the piano

You break out into all your old gear, including mounds of black eyeliner and sing-scream all the lyrics to Welcome to the Black Parade

The Holy Trinity means something a little bit different to you

Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, and My Chemical Romance (RIP). 3 of the best bands in the emo world

You may have your hair dyed crazy colors

I definitely don't have green hair right now...

You may have your old piercings or stretched earlobes still.

All kinds of different earrings. Helix, triple helix, double lobe, industrial. The list goes on.

You still want to be in a band or you are in a band.

I wish I had a lick of musical talent because I would form a band with some old friends in a heartbeat. Alas I have I am tone deaf and that's okay.

You still go to Warped Tour

You'll tell everyone it's just because one really cool unknown band is playing and you want support them but in reality you go because it's your emo version of Disney world.

You go to see your favorite bands concert any chance you get.

My first concert was Panic! at the Disco last June, since them I've made an effort to go to more concerts and live music and it was the best decision I've made in a long time.

You told your mom it wasn't a phase and you were right.

Although you may not wear your spiky belt with everything you wear anymore you know deep down if emo fashion came back in style you'd be all for it.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
