What It Was Like To Be A Directioner As Told By 1D

Personal Photo

Being a directioner was so much more than being a fan. Every thought and action revolved around One Direction and the ultimate goal was to be recognizes. It wasn't about thinking they were cute and liking their music, no, being a directioner was a way of life.

The feeling of hearing they were taking a hiatus

The Jonas Brothers are back, when is One Direction coming back?

Constantly talking about One Direction

They were the most amazing band ever and you just had to explain why to every person you encountered.

Waking up and realizing you slept through a follow spree

Nothing was more depressing than missing an opportunity to be noticed.

Getting together with another hard-core Directioner

Finally being around someone who understood your... dedication (a.k.a. unhealthy obsession) was refreshing to say the least.

Fangirling

That's it. Send tweet. Just flailing and dancing and screaming in order to express your love.

Reading fanfics which robbed you of your innocence

Honestly, fanfic is worse than 50 Shades of Gray and we had no business reading that in middle school. We have no business reading that now either honestly.

Watching "One Direction Funny Moments" videos for hours

Each video was the same clips rearranged a million times over, but each one had you ready to pee your pants.

Commenting "MY OVARIES" on every picture of them

What were we even trying to express when we said this? Most of us hadn't even taken health class yet. Did we know what we were saying?

Whenever someone had the AUDACITY to insult your boys

It wasn't just rude, but it was also highly offensive

Being told you're too young to be thinking about boys this much

Liam is my mom trying to close the curtain over One Direction. I guess she just wanted me to focus on something like school or spending time with family?

Jamming to any and every song they put out

Let's be honest, every single song they released was a bop, but they honestly could have recorded themselves burping the ABCs and I would have spent all of my babysitting money on it.

Hopefully this brought back as many deeply suppressed memories for you as it did for me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
