15 Common Yet Unique Obsessions Everyone Has

We all tend to know some people with some weird or cool, yet, unique obsessions. Here are 15 Common obsessions that you, your family, and the rest of the world have.

1. Lipstick

I may or may not own 30 shades of pink lipstick. My love for lipstick started from who knows where. All I know is that a girl can never have too many shades. With all of the new makeup ideas prospering out in the world, I'm only obligated to make sure I try out hot pink in matte, gloss, creme, and shimmer.

2. Bobby Pins

I don't know about you, but I tend to walk around with at least 10-15 bobby pins in my hair on a typical day. Let's not even talk about if I'm intentionally trying to make my hair look good. If you take a look hard enough at anywhere I sleep, I guarantee there is a bobby pin nearby. Forget hair clips and headbands, the bobby pins are where it's at.

3. Sharpies

What's not to love? The look, the smell, the taste (just joking), but really, who doesn't love a nice crisp, colorful permanent marker?

4. Nail Biting

We all know that one person who can't seem to ever grow out their nails. If you're like me, you constantly get the wonderful view of finger nubs, sharp and pointy fingernails, and the lovely taste of bite-proof nail polish in your mouth.

5. Checking The Time At Work Or School Repeatedly.

Now everyone is guilty of this one. I don't care who you are-- young, old, happy, sad, male, or female, you are guilty of looking at the clock every three minutes. You were most likely hoping that 20 minutes had passed by. Well sorry to break it to you, but it's not your lucky day.

6. Food

If you're like me, then you looovveee to eat. As much as you try to resist, if a yummy cheesecake was placed in front of you right now, would you deny a piece(If your answer to this is yes, then smack yourself, better yet, 'cash me ousside')?

7. Checking Your Facebook Feed Every Five Minutes.

Similar to looking at the clock 5000 times a day, just because you refresh your feed every two seconds after going through it all doesn't mean that the content has changed. Sorry bud, maybe try Instagram next?

8. Your Bed And Sleeping

I suppose that you don't want to be in bed as much when you are older, so this is for the younger ones! Live it up, as in, go to sleep, now. Why not beat some sleeping world record while you're at it?

9. Binging On Netflix

Binge watching was originally a summer thing for me. Since being in college though, I've gone through more seasons of television than I ever did in high school. Netflix over studying = Great life choices.

10. Snapchat Filters

I have a love/ hate relationship with Snapchat filters. What's not to love about the funny face swapping but pure hate towards the puppy filter. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. It's easy to spend a couple chunks of time trying to find the perfect angle in your Snapchat photos.

11. Music

This very common one is universal across the world. "If music be the food of love, play on."

~ William Shakespeare

Enough said.

12. Video Games

I'm not going to lie I was obsessed with the game "Fallout 4" for a while. I was so comfortable to spend my free time building my mansion while killing an army of raiders. Video games will always be close to my heart. I love my Xbox One.

13. Organization

Organization is a key factor to life in my opinion. Without organization, I'd probably lose 90% of the things I buy. No one wants to spend weeks searching for a game because you forgot you threw it in the hamper.

14. Name Brands

I'm not one of these people, but some people are absolutely obsessed with name brand clothing. Maybe not you, but I find it a waste of money to pass up a cheaper version of an outfit and still rock than wear something Louis Vuitton.

15. Money

And last but not least, the money. This will be an obsession forever in many people lives, sadly. Shave an eyebrow off for free tuition, you said? Okay!

So, you may not connect to everyone of these obsessions, but I agree that you know someone with these obsessions. No judgment here; obsess on!

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.
