You know you have all gone through at least one of these!

10 Things Anime Fans Know All Too Well

1. The pain of waiting for the next season of Attack On Titan.

This anime was amazing! It was first released in 2013, but it is said that season 2 will not air until after 2016. Waiting over three years has been torture, well unless you have read the manga.

2. Knowing you could never go Super Saiyan.

Admit it, you know you have tried too as a kid. It was possibly the coolest thing ever. You at least tried it in front of the television while watching Dragon Ball Z, or possibly in the comfort of your own room. Sadly, it never happened.


3. You cannot catch real life Pokémon.

Let's face it, with Pokemon Go our childhood dreams came true, but it still does not fill that gap in our hearts. If you were a 90s kid, you always wanted to have one in real life. So right now, Pokemon Go does not cut it.

4. Getting the theme song stuck in your head for hours on end.


Sadly yes, by now you are probably singing the Pokemon theme song like I am. Let's face it, almost every anime has a catchy introduction song or ending theme song to it. So, it is really hard not to sing it at least once after finishing an episode.

5. Not being able to spoil the end to Death Note

Sometimes we all wish that we had the power of the Death Note just like Light Yagami. Some of us may even have our own Death Note in preparation of it actually happening. With this anime it is really hard to keep your mouth shut about Light Yagami's end as God.

6. Ignoring invitations and other life obligations.

Once you become consumed with a new favorite anime it is easy to forget other obligations. You tell yourself just one more episode and soon enough one turns into five. Sometimes you might also find yourself telling people you are busy or you do not feel good, when really you are just binge watching anime.

9. Contemplating if a character is a boy or a girl.


This has happened way too many times and you often resort to Google for answers. If you watch it in Japanese with subtitles this can make it all the more confusing because females can play male characters. Soon you figure it out and then the cycle begins all over again.

10. Developing a crush on a fictional character.


Even though I am in my 20s this still happens to me just the same as I did when I was a kid. I am almost certain this still happens to other adults as well. Sometimes the character's detail is perfect and the personality is on point as well. It is hard not to develop feelings for them and it becomes all too real if they die.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
