45 Times That I've Cried For Questionable Reasons

If I'm being honest here, I cry way more than I should. What can I say, I'm a sensitive person and sometimes even the silliest things get the best of me. For all other sensitive souls out there, you'll probably find this article relatable but even if you don't, you'll definitely find it humorous. Here's a small list of things that have really made me cry for reasons that I am unable to justify at this time, or possibly ever.

1. I watched "Up."

2. I watched the animated short film about clouds that plays before "Up."

3. Listened to a song about dads and daughters.

4. Saw a fluffy kitten and realized that I couldn't have it.


5. I thought I was going to be evicted from my apartment and have to drop out of college and move home.

6. I thought about what I was going to do after graduation.

7. Saw an old person eating dinner at a restaurant by themselves.

8. My mom told me not to eat my feelings.

9. I ate my feelings, and then regretted doing so.

10. Somebody told me feminism wasn't important.

11. I had to wear a shawl to junior prom.

12. My orthodontist made me get headgear.

13. I thought about driving.

14. One of my college professors made me feel stupid in front of the class.

15. Boys.

16. Somebody insulted my choice of major.

17. A kid ran his truck into my parked car. In a parking lot.

18. Derek Morgan left "Criminal Minds."


20. Nicholas Sparks existed.

21. I got overwhelmed for no apparent reason, so naturally I cried.

22. My advisor temporarily ruined my life. For the 14th time.

23. I went to college.

24. Was forced to try on jeans and/or swimsuits.

25. Boyfriend left me for a month.

26. Boyfriend left me for a weekend.

27. I got a zit.

28. Attended a wedding.

29. Ran out of alcohol.

30. For no reason, but probably because pms-ing.

31. Took a wrong turn and ended up taking an hour and a half detour on the way home from college.

32. Someone made fun of my knee brace.

33. My parents did something nice for me.

34. Graduated from 6th grade.

35. Watched "Marley and Me."

36. Didn't sleep for a week straight.

37. My Big got alumni status.

38. Every damn time I have to leave any of my favorite people.

39. Saw an old couple on a coffee date.

40. Tried to play intramural softball and get embarrassed because of how bad I sucked.

41. Thought about paying bills.

42. Dropped my phone, cracked the screen.

43. I saw one of my friends crying.

44. Looked at my tuition statement for school.

45. Started crying, didn't know why I was crying...cried some more.

And those are just a few of the reasons why my tear ducts have led me astray.

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.
