The Struggles Of A Girl WIth No Filter

"Did I just say that out loud?"

The Struggles Of A Girl WIth No Filter

Coasting through life with no filter could be tough. It doesn't mean that you're constantly mean and point out a person's flaws (but sometimes that's exactly what it means). It means that whatever pops into your mind will be coming out of your mouth within seconds. It's not always just some ridiculous thing you have thought of (that will probably send the people around you into a fit of giggles). It could be mean and, sometimes, an inaccurate accusation about your friend that has been trying to vent to you about her boyfriend... Sorry, friend.

As a person that has had no filter for years now, I can tell you that life can be hard. It's like I don't ever have control of my mouth. Sometimes I say things and five minutes later I'm like, "Did I really just say that?" It's basically living the life of Chandler from "Friends."

Sometimes you wonder if you have a split personality that just makes you blurt out outrageous things that don't even make sense to your own self because a few minutes later you do question where did those words actually come from. Social cues are tough to pick up on. Sometimes if someone is flirting with you, you simply have no clue. So you keep sticking to your "Blurt it out now, think about it later" routine, which doesn't work when you're trying to be social. The Struggle!

Being the girl with no filter means older people not liking you much... Why?

Because you're not a lady. Well, where my not so filtered rage comes through and shows just how much of a lady I am not... AM I REALLY NOT A LADY? Well good for me. If I can't speak my mind then I refuse to be one anyway. If I hurt your feelings, I'm not sorry. You're too fragile for me to hang around you. I would simply be hurting your or simply offending you EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You probably do not want me in your life.

That being said, if you're the type of person that actually does hang out with a person with no filter, you've probably grown thicker skin. I am so proud of you. You're probably a better person for it. Dealing with people of my kind is worse than BEING a person of my kind.

Out of all the negatives of having no filter, our feelings are the most important to us. We can dish it, but we cannot take it. Let me tell you that once my feelings get hurt I will think about it 10 years after the fact and hold that grudge. We are fragile people and don't know how to deal with mean people because we are mean people. Please don't hurt my feelings. I really don't mean the things that I say. Or do I?

In the end, you just struggle with the fact that everyone knows you're evil. It was supposed to be a secret.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
