7 Struggles Girls With A Big Laugh Know All Too Well
Shannon Solley

So, you're the girl with the big laugh. You may be a quiet person, like myself, and just have a large laugh or your laugh could match your equally as loud personality. Either way, because it's so noticeable It's become apart of who we are. So, here are seven things us loudly-laughing girls all can relate to:

1. People think your fake.

Since it's often something unconscious, I hate when people assume my laugh is because I want people to accept me. Like, girlfriend, if I really was trying that hard to be everyone's friend I wouldn't be wearing sweatpants. But really, it's the people who do laugh extra loud to be liked that ruin it for us. You know them if you make yourself laugh way too much like me---those people that try to match your laugh and sound more like their screaming rather then laughing.

2. Guys think you like them.

It's happened to all of us: some jerkwad--- most likely from a gen ed---thinks he's a hotshot. He's loud, grody and gives off an overall bad vibe but he'll drop some funnier-than-shit jokes (which he probably found online) that have you, the quiet girl, laughing like a dying chicken. Depending on whether you dress up, this jerk sits next to you or sends you weird looks during class. It makes for an overall awkward situation in class.

3. You disrupt the quiet floor of the library

Whether its when your friend sends you an extra dank meme or that time you and your friends were goofing around town comes to mind randomly---you hold your breath and cover your mouth until you can't take it anymore and just let it out. You almost want to apologize after all is done, but you don't want to disturb everyone else even more. Self-control just isn't enough for your big laugh, to everyone's dismay.

4. You laugh at your own jokes

For some reason, this seems to go hand-in-hand with loud laughing. My dad, who I inherited this curse from, will often be red-faced while his co-workers smile politely sometimes when I catch them having lunch. What's worse, when you find yourself retelling a joke, and your laughing so hard that no one around you can hear it--- until you've finally laughed it all out and after all that build up, the person finds out the joke was not nearly as funny as my laughing had led them to assume.

5. You get singled out

You're out with the squad and you're all joking around--then, wherever you guys are, people start looking at you cause your so loud. All of a sudden, you can hear coworkers whispering among themselves about the loud group of girls and even if your friends don't realize you're the main reason for this label, you still feel a tinge of shame.

6. You get shushed

No matter if it's by your boyfriend your at his apartment while his roommates are home or your friends at a movie theater during a horror movie that you can't take seriously---it only makes you laugh louder. "The shush" always comes as a surprise though, if you're anything like me, because whenever you laugh you assume everyone is having about as much fun as you.

7. You laugh at the wrong times

This the other attribute that gets coupled with "The Laugh." It takes so little to make you "lol" that even the slightest somewhat-amusing mistake made by your teacher or corny joke made by someone behind the counter makes us, once again, bring attention to ourselves with a massive, stomach gripping laugh-sesh; just enough to make everyone all kinds of uncomfortable.

Although these struggles can make for some pretty awkward interactions, it's totally worth having yourself a good laugh.

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.
