1. You drink way more than the required amount.

Yeah, yeah, I know that the required amount is 8 glasses, but I still feel dehydrated if I drink that. I like to drink approximately 7-8 bottles a day. This leads me to my next point...

2. Your friends laugh at you when you say you're dehydrated. 

"How can you be dehydrated when you drank 3 bottles today?!" "Well Carol, I haven't gotten my required 7-8 bottles today now have I? So I'm about to pass out from dehydration here."

3. You always have to pee.

It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing. My friends anticipate the 4 dreaded words: "I have to pee." We then have to stop what we are doing to find the nearest bathroom. My bladder waits for no one.

"Are you sure you have to pee? You just went 5 minutes ago!" "I just finished bottle 5 so the answer is yes...very badly."

4. Your worst nightmare is bathroom lines at parties.

What are you to do when you have to pee so bad, and there are at least 6 people in front of you for the makeshift bathroom line? Well you don't want to pee all over the floor at Apple Sigma Pie do you?

5. This extends to car rides too.

"Can you just wait until the next exit? Or until we make it another half hour? We just stopped!"

"Well Mom, do you want me to pee in this car?"

"Fine your father will find you the nearest rest stop."

"Thank you, and bless your soul."

6. You are always running low on water.

"Do you need more stuff for school when I come to visit?"

"Water...lots of water. I'm almost out."

"But we sent up a case with your friends a week ago."

"And?"

7. It worries you when there is a "no water" policy in class. 

"I'm not going to make it. Taylor, if I don't make it, please remember me."

Or

"Oh no! What if I get parched?!" "But Sarina, this class is only 50 minutes." "And your point is?"

8. You hate when sporting events do not allow you to bring in water.

"So you're telling me that I can't bring these 4 water bottles into the game? So, I have to pay $25 because 5 bottles x $5 per bottle?"

9. Every time you see a bathroom, you make sure to go just in case.

If I ever pass a bathroom, I go just in case I don't see another bathroom anytime soon. What if I end up in the middle of nowhere with NO bathrooms for miles?!

10. At least you know you won't die from dehydration.

People, feel free to make fun of me to your heart's content, but at least one of us isn't going to drop dead due to dehydration.
