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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
