10 Things I'm Sick Of Hearing Because I Curse

"Sweet as sugar, hard as ice. Hurt me once, I'll kill you twice."

10 Things I'm Sick Of Hearing Because I Curse
Thought Catalog

I believe that my vocabulary is very, VERY colorful but I hate the judgmental comments I get when I say a word that someone does not like.

1. "You are unprofessional."

I curse in front of friends. And in grunts of frustration. I do not go to an employer or a professional boss and say, "Shit." or any other curse words. There is a time and place to say things.

2. "You only curse for attention."

I don't know a single woman who swears just to get attention. Personally, I've never thought cussing would magically make me stand out or appear sexier or more confident or tough, either. But if you're a woman who loves to swear, some people are going to think you only developed Sailor Mouth or a trucker mouth because you're an attention-seeker.

3. "You are just trying to be 'one of the guys'."

This one I CANNOT stress enough. Just because I curse, does not mean I am more manly then feminine.

4. "You try to be cool."

Just because I said "Damn" does not mean I am trying to fit in by any means. But thank you for asking about my popularity.

5. "You are far from classy."

First of all, no one should get to tell grown women whether or not we're classy enough; we get to decide that for ourselves. Let's open the book to music guru's who use swears. Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lily Allen, and Lana Del Rey all curse in their songs, and they are the classiest people I have ever met.

6. "My religion is against this."

I swear I hear this more than ten times a day. Just because I say the F word, does not mean I worship Satan, but thanks.

7. "You have terrible manners."

Okay, okay. I do not say all the curse words at the dinner table.

8. "You must drink like sailors."

What does cursing have anything to do with alcohol?

9. "You must have a poor vocabulary."

No comment for this one.

10. "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

I kiss everyone with this mouth. Sometimes I pass "the cursing bug" to other people. *gasp*

Here are ten things that I, as a woman, am sick of hearing because I curse.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
