There’s always a little bit of comfort in knowing that you’re not that different from everyone else. Now yes, you have some characteristics that make you unique from the rest of the population, but certain thoughts, feelings, and actions just float right across the board. If you are a human being, odds are you’ve thought these thoughts, done these things or felt these feelings at least one time in your life.

1. You were just drinking your ice cold glass of water when, all of a sudden, Niagara Falls is landing on what used to be your dry face.

2. Who knew a phone was so heavy? You did. Recall the time you were dozing off and dropped it on your nose.

3. Snap-chatting on a college campus and snap-chatting in the “real world” are two completely different things. On a college campus, everyone understands. In the real world, you'd receive more odd glances than understanding glances. I guess the haters are going to hate.

4. Jamming to your favorite song in the car is all fun and games until you stop at a red-light. Your teacher from high school is staring while simultaneously wondering whether or not you've been engaging in drug activities at college.

5. Mom will be home in approximately 10 minutes, and the house is not exactly as clean as it was this morning. You’ve never moved so fast.

6. Each and every member of your family has called you within the two hours you decided to take a nap. Opening your eyes to that phone screen is reason enough for a heart-attack.

7. Sometimes you pretend the cracks in the sidewalk are lava. Step on the crack and both you and your mother have broken backs.

8. True panic sets in when Netflix only gives you 15 seconds to decide to continue to the next episode. No, I cannot make important life decisions quickly.

9. Where am I going again? You forgot you needed the bathroom, so you aimlessly walked to the kitchen instead.

10. That petrifying moment when you are trying to identify the dark circle on the floor is one of the absolute worst. Is it a roach or just a shadow?

11. You were up late studying for your exam, and fell asleep. With no alarm set, you thankfully wake up with two hours to cram. NIGHTMARE. Hopefully everything works out for the best.

In my experience, people are always searching to find their niche. What better way to find your place than to find people you identify with? Identifying with people, even on the silliest of levels, helps form confidence. I've always had more confidence with this thought: In all likely-hood, there is someone in the world who has thought or done what you're thinking about. Take comfort in the human bonds you form, and find those people that give you confidence, even if it's in the silliest of ways.
