Sometimes Being The 'Hyped' Friend Actually Sucks, Because Being On 24/7 Is Exhausting

For when you have your down days like me.

Sometimes Being The 'Hyped' Friend Actually Sucks, Because Being On 24/7 Is Exhausting
Mary Ellen Hunter

I have been the hype person of my friend groups for quite some time. I was and probably always will be the person to be excited about virtually everything and be able to crack a smile and make everything seem OK even if it isn't. I am the hypest person some people know, and for me, that's an expectation I set for myself every single day.

This mainly includes trying to support my friends at sporting events, being the fun sober chaperone at any party, and mostly just being wild and crazy- even with my not so wild and crazy roommate. This is just who I am most, if not all, of the time. I can go without a care in the world and be hype for weeks on end-only taking breaks to sleep or study. Seriousness isn't in the cards.

Then days like this morning hit. I had a great night with my roommate; we had a movie night and went to an event which I was excited to be at. I was having a good day. This morning took a weird turn though.

I didn't want to do anything but go to class and then come back with a Strawberry Refresher in hand. I wanted to lay on my bed. I wanted to cry for no reason. I wanted to do nothing but lay on my bed and think.

Most people know that I have a non-depressed nature, and the idea of me being depressed is foreign to me. I don't like waking up in this mood, and it's not natural for me. It's sure as hell not normal for me to not want brunch on a Thursday. I didn't even want that though.

For people like me, the normal of this high energy is kind of what we live off of. I live off of the social butterfly part of myself. The energy I have to wake up in the morning and actually go to class comes from this intense pull to want to get outside of my dorm and do new things and meet new people. I thrive off of such interaction and make it a normal thing to meet someone new every day. There is an intense need in my nature to be excited and be doing something.

When I was a host, this nature was what made em so good at what I did. It made me the host people remembered and offered tips to. I was the one that smiled and made conversation and made sure people were having a good time even before they sat down. These down days are the anti of this, causing me to be introverted and against making people laugh or smile.

In days like these, writing is easier though. I have a clearer focus of what I want to write, I am less distracted by the draw of a Snapchat or an Instagram like. I am so much more focused and I think that may be one of the only upsides to moods like these. They invoke the creativity to write more and write better than I normally would.

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.

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.
