5 Reasons Why I'm Basically A Succulent

A good way to understand someone is to ask what type of plant they see themselves as and why.

A good way to understand someone is to ask what type of plant they see themselves as and why. Personally, I see myself as a succulent because I need so much care and love to grow properly and even STILL, I might randomly "die" on you and require even MORE love and care than you thought possible of a succulent. In case you wanted to learn a lot about me, here's an important list of reasons why I'm essentially a human succulent.

1. Without enough sunlight, I become sad

A sad succulent is very noticeable and makes you feel like a garbage plant owner. However, when I get a little sad, give me some beautiful sunshine (with proper nutrition) and I'll become a whole new woman...or succulent in this case.

2. When I don't have enough water, it's obvious

I'm extremely unhappy when I'm dehydrated, but also if I drink so much water that I have to pee every ten minutes, I'm super unhappy. I require a very delicate balance of water, much like a succulent.

3. I require love and affirmation

If you don't provide a succulent with enough love and care, it will wither up and look like garbage. I am very similar. I'm a fairly needy friend and I love when people express their feelings towards me (even if it's just a random "I love you" text. It's the little things after all).

4. Once you wrong me, it's over


This one time, I bought a succulent from the Saturday Market and then went on vacation for three weeks and completely forgot about my new plant. When I got home, it was obvious the plant was dying, but I did everything I could (which, mind you, really isn't much), and the plant still died. I wronged this succulent by leaving it alone for three weeks IMMEDIATELY after I bought it, and it never forgave me. I'm very similar (only I won't die, but I WILL ghost you).

5. I'm easygoing

It's okay if you get really busy and don't water a succulent for a couple days. You just have to remember it exists so you're not neglecting it. I might be a needy friend, but I'll understand when life gets insanely busy and you only have time for yourself. But as soon as you completely forget about me or blow me off multiple times, it's OVER. Just like a succulent.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
