I'm Here To Tell You What Life Is Like As A Weeb Because, Well, I Am One

You either live long enough to see one or become one. Yes, I am a weeb. For those who don't know the proper definition, a weeb is a person who is heavily interested in anime and Japanese culture and includes Japanese words and phrases in their everyday speech while spending large amounts of money on anime and manga products.

It's not as bad as you think. Yeah, you might be considered a social outcast, weird, anti-social, and have a harem of gorgeous waifus, which I see as a win, but you still have anime right beside you. I'm just glad I don't give off that vibe to people. If I'm gonna give off a weird vibe to someone, I'd rather have it be for something else than for just being a weeb.

Now at some point in your life, you've probably wondered, "Man. What's it like to be that obsessed with anime and Japanese culture?" Hopefully, this either changes or affirms your opinion on weebs, but please do keep on thing in mind: Whether you hate us or love us, 2D will never break our hearts.

That's a joke. You can laugh now.

1. Anime Anime Anime

You ever just have a list of shows that you have in your watch later list? You ever just keep adding more shows to that said list, and your backlog just keeps growing and growing? You do? Good. Now take those shows and replace them with anime. I can't get enough of it. It's literally the main thing I watch. Yeah I watch other shows, but anime will always be number one in my eyes. There's just something about it that just entices me and makes me wanna watch more and more of it. It's almost like how everyone's attached to new episodes of "The Bachelor."

2. Meet The Waifus and Husbandos

Everybody has done this in their lives. When you're watching a show or a movie, you say that an actress and actor is cute/hot, and you say how you wanna marry them. Well, replace them with anime characters and real people. If they're male they're called husbandos, and if they're female they're called waifus. You might be wondering if I have any waifus. Yes, yes I do. Ibuki Mioda from "Danganronpa" is #1 best girl. Does that make me a loser? Maybe, but then again, other people fantasize about themselves with other celebrities they have zero chance of getting with, so I say we're even.

3. Anime Art & Drawings

Maybe this part is just me, but I can't get enough of anime art and drawing. I follow about like 50 accounts on Twitter dedicated to reposting art, and it's just so aesthetically pleasing. I'm honestly kinda envious that I can't draw like that, not that I can draw like that at all, so following a ton of accounts kinda eases that pain a little bit.

4. Wanna See My Playlist?

My whole playlist on Apple Music is mixed with real music and music from anime soundtracks or from Japanese groups. If someone saw it, it would instantly shock them because they don't get that nerdy weeb vibe from me. Want some suggestions? Snow Halation and Miku. Check them out if you're interested.

These are the main generalizations about how weebish I am. Like I said, when people see me, it's honestly not that bad. It's not that I'm treated differently or anything. It's almost like a shot. It's quick and painless, like a quick shot. So I hope this gave you some idea of what it's like to be a weeb. Just promise me the next time you see one, don't be a dick. Thanks, senpai.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
