7 Habits Of Highly Emotional People

All human beings have emotions, but it seems like some people can handle theirs more than others. They're the ones who seem cool and collected while the rest of us freak out over basically anything. How do they do it? Is it hatha yoga? Meditation? A gluten-free diet? I can't seem to figure it out, probably because I'm too busy crying over fictional characters on Netflix. If these seven habits apply to you: congratulations, you're an emotional wreck.

1. Sad music makes your go-to playlist.


Even if it makes you bawl your eyes out, you'll pick Bon Iver over Beyoncé any day. Bonus points if you play sad songs during activities other than crying, like doing homework or working out at the gym.

2. Even Disney movies are too much sometimes.

Has anyone watched "Up" without shedding a few tears? Honest question.

3. You’re pretty much always vaguely pissed.

From slow walkers to loud talkers, you've got more pet peeves than you can name. The smallest things seem to irritate you, and all of your headaches definitely come from rolling your eyes 24/7.

4. You’re so empathetic that sometimes it hurts.

Interpersonal drama and family conflicts are especially hard on you because you feel other people's emotions as if they were your own.

5. You hate surprises.

Hide-and-seek was your least favorite game as a kid because you couldn't stand the suspense. Just think about how shaken up you'll be when you get proposed to!

6. The smallest acts of kindness make you insanely happy.


You think the world is a cruel place, except for the times when a stranger compliments you or asks you how you're doing.

7. You’re a hopeless romantic.

Whether you're forever alone or think you've found your soulmate, you absolutely love love. If only you could meet someone just as emotional as you are.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
