11 Ways That I’m Similar To Dwayne The Rock Johnson
People

After extensive observance of Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson through his movies, Wikipedia, and online lists of interesting facts about him, I have realized that we have so much in common that we are practically the same person.

1. We both have permanent black markings on our skin.

You may have seen the large dark markings that cover Dwayne Johnson’s chest, one of his shoulders, and his upper arm known as tattoos. Similarly, I have a permanent black marking caused from a sharpened lead pencil stabbing me in the foot.


2. Short hair.

Neither Dwayne nor I have succumbed to the trend of wearing a bun in our hair in an age when wearing a bun in one’s hair is a right of passage. Our strength in denying this trend has created a deep connection between us.

3. A devotion to football.

Dwayne Johnson was known for playing football at the University of Miami and later playing professionally for the Calgary Stampeders. Comparably, I myself attended many high school football games since I was the tiger mascot for Imperial High School.

4. The majority of our families have stuck to a certain “family business”.

While much of Johnson’s family participates in or has a career involving wrestling, much of my family has been known for being local librarians and teachers.


5. Our fathers have similar nicknames.

While my father goes by the name “Steve” which means “victorious” the Rock’s father goes by the name “Rocky” which means “similar to a rock.”

These names share the connection of both being able to describe Dwayne the Rock's personality.

6. We both like to wear waist belts.

Myself and many other women like the way that high-waisted clothing frames the body, making the waist and stomach of the wearer appear less prominent. Johnson must feel the same way because during his wrestling career he was often caught trying to win large, gaudy waist belts.

7. Sometimes we yell.

While watching one of the Rock’s underground films, "Fast And Furious", I noticed that he at one point yelled. I was surprised by this because earlier on in the year while I was sidelined at a Christian summer camp competition, I too yelled.

8. We have both stepped into a gym.

True, I may not have stayed as long as him and I have no proof that I did any exercise in the gym. However, I have definitely at one point maybe entered a gym once.


9. We eat a lot of dessert.

It is said that the Rock once ate 21 brownies on his legendary cheat day. Admittedly, on multiple occasions, I too have been known to eat more than the socially accepted amount of dessert.



10. We have both seen expensive cars.

When I was a young child I attended a car show with my family, introducing me to expensive and elegant cars, many similar to those which the Rock probably saw while filming his previously mentioned film, "Fast And Furious".


11. We are both very stylish.

Like the Rock, on occasion, I have been known to “rock” a chic outfit and strike a pose. The top picture is the Rock, the bottom picture is me (in case you were confused).



If you still don't believe the Rock and I are similar, chances are you didn't actually read this article.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
