True Life I'm Always Crying

"I feel like you're always crying" Yup.

True Life I'm Always Crying
Pretty Little Liars

I'm the member of the group that you can always find crying. Last time I cried? Probably 5 hours ago to be truthfully honest. My fish died that I had been mothering for 7 months and I was not emotionally ready to handle it. I get attached to things extremely easily. Even to a thing I just watch swim around back and fourth in a bowl for hours on end, how extremely boring right? But now that I have an empty fish bowl sitting on the counter, I realize how much I truly valued what little connection I had with a fish. I'm totally aware this sounds outrageous.

It's not that I go off and cry for attention. I just have a lot of feelings that I can't keep bottled up. The truth is I'm over emotional (at least I can admit it, right?). If you've never met me before I am truly sorry that this is your first impression of me. Dear future husband, I promise I'm not always a mess. To my future children, I'm sorry I will burden you with the genes of hella emotions.

Cute dog video? Someone dies on the tv show I'm currently binging on Netflix? Or a book that has an insane plot twist? I think about something totally irrelevant to life over the past few years? Yup. You guessed it, I'm crying about it. Wonderful right? Now just image how bad it can get over something that's actually worth being upset over. I literally cry all the time. All. The time. Now if tequila is involved you best bet I'm ending the night crying over Toppers pizza in my room, on the floor to be exact, watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Trust me, if there was a way to control this, it would be. But nothing makes it worse than when I'm starting to get emotional, someone asks what's wrong, then I get upset because others can see I'm 'I upset and also because now I'm trying to rationally explain why I'm choked up. I absolutely hate the attention that comes with it.

Just like those who never cry, I have enough tears to go around for all of us. So HOOORAAAAHHH to all of us dealing with our sh!t, in our own individual ways. Now, please, I have a fishes funeral to plan.



And now I'm crying about it.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
