17 Signs You're Actually A Long Lost Gallagher

The Gallaghers have a set of traits specific to their family. They're fiercely proud of these traits even when they tend to get them into a lot of very hot water. If you see these traits in yourself, you might be — brace yourself — a long lost Gallagher. (Disclaimer: You might run into some spoilers if you're not caught up with season 6.)

1. You work incredibly hard for the things that you want.


No one can say that you don't give it your all.

2. You know the ins and outs of the legal system in your city.

It's from experience.

3. You know the ins and outs because you've had a few run ins with law enforcement.

A lot of experience.

4. You've had more than just a few run ins.

Like, a lot of experience.

5. You take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.

The Gallaghers are not ones to let a good opportunity pass them by, and neither are you.

6. One of your brothers is a drug dealer.


A little specific, but if your younger brother is named Carl and sells drugs, chances are, you're a Gallagher

7. You escaped from the south side of Chicago and went to MIT.

Not only are you street smart, you're smart. Use that brain and take over the world.

8. Your dad is actually the worst.

This one is hard to face. If you are indeed a Gallagher, you have the worst person on the face of the planet for a father, Frank Gallagher.

9. You've dated someone with multiple names. (Jimmy/Steve/????)

If you don't know what your ex's real name is, you're probably a Gallagher.

10. Your neighbors couldn't get pregnant so the husband made a baby with the wife's mother.

This is one of those things that you just don't talk about.

11. Your nickname is also a body part.

Lip, Arm, Foot, Tongue, Knee. You get the idea.

12. You're fiercely loyal to the ones you love.

Lord help the man that hurts one of your siblings.

13. You tried to steal a helicopter and failed miserably.


Specific, but once again, if you've done this, you're a Gallagher.

14. You have a strange urge to wear gold booty shorts.


Need I say more?

15. Your youngest brother is a completely different race even though you share both parents.


Yes, he is your biological full brother. No, he wasn't adopted. No, you're not lying.

16. Mood swings. Crazy mood swings.


Gallaghers are all known for this, diagnosed or not.

17. Despite everything, you still love your extremely dysfunctional family.


Love all around in the Gallagher house.


Now all of us relate to some of the things on this list, but if you or a loved one recognize more than half of these signs in yourself, seek medical attention immediately.

If you recognize all of the above... Lord help us all.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
