We all have our quirks about us. Most of which we're a little scared to share with others because we think that each of them is unique to us. Over time, I have found quite a few oddities that we can all understand. Below are the top 19 most relatable...

1. Picking out specific Sour Patch Kids colors.

And Skittles. And Starbursts. I know I’m not the only one who will only eat the shades of red.

2. Throwing clean clothes in the hamper.

When we’re just too tired to hang another article of clothing up in the closet.

3. Redecorating our rooms every three months.

The trends are changing faster than we can repaint the walls and purchase a new comforter.

4. Tasting things that we know won’t result in satisfaction.

Like trying that one food that always made your stomach churn one more time just to see if your taste buds have changed their mind.

5. Tossing water bottles under the bed (behind the driver’s seat).

And wonder where all of the trash came from months down the line.

6. Believing that those same water bottles are contaminated and undrinkable after the third sip.

And then wonder why the world is dying.

7. Self-diagnosing illnesses.

Only to decide that we are certainly dying after searching “cough” on WebMD.

8. Choosing only the chips that are covered in flavor dust.

Making all of your friends hate sharing any snacks with you.

9. Imagining my life as a Grey’s Anatomy character instead.

Or a Friends character.

10. Asking yourself “what would Meredith Grey do?”

Or Monica Geller?

11. Sipping from the same spot on the glass each time.

If not only to avoid covering the rim in lip gloss smudges.

12. Having anxiety about automatic doors.

Especially when walking more quickly than it opens.

13. Preparing the voice you will use when you say “here”.

Role call never gets easier, not even in college.

14. Testing out our British accents.

But ONLY in the car, when we know no one can hear our poor impression.

15. Turning down the volume in the car when you get lost.

As if it will somehow help you find the way.

16. Singing the entire alphabet.

Because, apparently, you can’t just skip to the part you need.

17. Listening to the same song for days on repeat.

At least you’ll know all of the words next time you need to bust it out at a party.

18. Peeing in the shower.

We all do it, don’t get so offended.

19. And finally, relating to every item on this list.

But that’s okay, we won’t tell if you don’t.

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?

sisters

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!)
