Being competitive is a natural human characteristic that we just can't fight, no matter how hard we try to tell ourselves we don't care if we win or not. Because it is so natural, the human race has created several games and sports that allow us to let out our inner competitive demons, in more practical and healthy ways. However, no matter how many games/sports/etc are out there, sometimes it still is just not enough to completely let our competitive flags fly. If you're anything like me, you will turn anything into a competition, and without a doubt, you will win. Below is a list of things I am way too competitive about:

1. Walking

If I am walking to class and you try to pass me, I will speed up to beat you there. I don't care if I have to start running, I refuse to lose.

2. Board Games

I don't care if I'm playing my two year old niece or my seventy-five year old grandma. "All in good fun" is not a term I understand.

3. Fundraising

This isn't always a bad thing. The more you can raise, the better. I mean, as long as I raise more than you, of course.

4. Exercising

You know the feeling of being at the gym and silently racing the person running on the treadmill next to you. It's as if you're both after 1st place in a marathon. Once again, you refuse to lose.

5. Class Debates

No matter what the topic is, you have this in the bag.

6. Cheering

I don't care if the Packers are down 28-7. I will out-cheer you until the end.

7. Your Grades

Nothing is wrong with this, you should always strive to compete for the best grades. Even if you're not technically "competing", your competitive soul will always try harder to "beat out" your fellow classmates.

8. Calling Shotgun

Yelling "SHOTGUN!" for the front seat as soon as you step out of the front door.

9. Easter Egg Hunts

Even if they are only full of one dime and one piece of candy, they're still mine.

10. Actually, Everything

Okay, everything is a competition. Maybe one day you'll grow out of it.
