11 Struggles As Told By A Forgetful Person
Michael Youssef

Sometimes your friends tend to tell you "I already told you this." Well, I consider myself as being more than just a forgetful person, but things will get better. Hopefully. I can be a bit delirious; in other words, my short term memory sucks! I often tend to remember the most random memories, numbers, and what you wore four years ago. Some people may think it's my ADHD, then again I'm simply a forgetful person. But I embrace it, and here are some key reasons you should too.

1. Texting someone back on the same day simply doesn't happen.

Your friends probably know this by now.. use it as a free pass when you REALLY forget to answer.


2. Forgetting your password is very NORMAL in your life.

Probably writing it down is a good idea, and your worst nightmare is having a 17 character password. As if!



3. You're often anxious that you’re forgetting something.

Just why brain.. let me get some sleep.




4. You constantly ask your friends to remind you of important conversations.

And you still manage to forget.. why world!



5. You're thankful of having Facebook to remind you of important birthdays.

Pfft! I know my best friend's birthday. Right?!


*Still checks Facebook* #blessed

6. Finishing sentences doesn't exist in your life.

"Um. Huh. Yeah, I can't remember." Michael Scott is your role model.


7. You often feel the need to lock your car more than once.

BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW! Very simple. Better be safe than sorry.


8. Remembering the most random stuff is your best quality.

This simply means your stories include vivid details - if you finish your sentence of course.


9. Because your room often looks like this.

Sticky notes are your best friend!


10. You spend too much money buying agendas because you forget where you put them.

Buying Kate Spade's agendas is the best thing that will ever happen to you.



11. Missing deadlines is very common in your life!

My worst nightmare..



We can at least agree that forgetting to reply your friends text message has its perks! Therefore, being a forgetful isn't that horrible. It's all right to forget important things from time to time as long as you don't forget your best friend's birthday. It can be a little scary forgetting important tasks, but we are just humans. It happens to everyone. At least, Meredith Grey can agree with us in this one.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
