Eight Signs Your Crazy Is Showing

A generation of normalized psychopaths explained.

Eight Signs Your Crazy Is Showing

I would like to give a shout-out to the "how-ever-many-things men say women are crazy about but they really aren't" articles that defend women's rights to say their feelings are hurt, that they are jealous or that they have strong emotions. Go feminism!

All women are crazy, though. And while the things in those articles are justifiable, such as showing healthy emotions and communicating them effectively, our generation doesn't always do so appropriately. And sometimes, you really are crazy.

Here are ten things our generation has normalized that are totally insane:

1. Psycho Texting

One text really does get the message across.

"I'm not crazy. I just want to know where he is. And what he's doing. And who he's with. I'm curious. Also, I want to know if he got my last text. Like is he just not receiving them? Let me try texting you to see if it goes through."

2. Snapchat Friends

Snapchat made it so you couldn't see other people's best friends and scores on purpose. Don't manipulate the system.

"I see that there is no longer a heart next to your name on my Snapchat friends. This is really confusing for me because you are my best friend on Snapchat. So either I'm going to sue Snapchat for getting it wrong or YOU TELL ME WHO SHE IS."

3. Friend Jealousy

Your best friend can't go out. She's tired. She's busy. She has plans with someone else. That doesn't mean she's not your best friend.

"I bet she's really with Trina. I know she secretly likes her even though she talks about her around me. I bet she tells Trina they are best friends too."

4. Fabricating Situations

Picturing your dude with another woman in any made-up scenario in your head is crazy. It's not real. And you probably just piss yourself off.

"I had a dream that you cheated on me. How could you do that to me?"

5. Accusing Dishonesty

If your man tells you he was at the bar, he's already afraid he's in trouble for leaving you at home. And yes, there were girls there. But if he wanted to hit on those girls, he wouldn't be in a relationship with you.

"Oh really? You were just at the bar with your friends? And there were no girls there?"

6. Questioning Compliments

If someone says you look good, you probably just look good. Unless you're Lindsay Lohan and your best friend is a Plastic.

"Do they really think I'm pretty? Or did they just say that to make me think about it? Was that, like, actually a stab? Does that mean the opposite of what they said?"

8. Binge-Drinking

When you're drunk, everything that is normally filtered is actually barfed out onto everyone around you via word vomit, or actual vomit, and that's when the real crazy shows. There is no one single, coherent example of this.

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
