As a college student, I always have mixed emotions throughout the day. Whether we are just driving to and from school, sitting in class, getting involved in extracurricular activities or stressing over school work, our emotions can vary throughout the day. RuPaul's Drag Race is a reality show on Logo where drag queens compete in order to become America's Next Drag Superstar. The prize is usually a sickening supply of cosmetics and a cash prize of one hundred thousand dollars. Throughout the show, tensions are high and the queens are in a competitive setting. Of course, tons of emotions will be let out and I can relate to many. Here are things that I experience throughout the day explained by GIFs from RuPaul's Drag Race.
1. Stressing Out Over Exams, Schoolwork and Papers
I feel very attacked! I feel like this when there's so much to do in so little time.
2. Driving and Listening to My Music![]()
The best part of my day is driving home, especially if I am not leaving the campus until late at night. Why? There are no cars on the road, there is no traffic, and the highway is empty. I would blast my music which is typically Adore Delano and Courtney Act music, and I would drive home. I would dance like Adore at every red light to feel the groove of my music. This was Adore Delano in the rap challenge in season 6. She excelled at this challenge, she felt the groove of the song "Oh No She Betta Don't" and rapped in perfect sync. As a result, she won that week's challenge.
3. When Someone is Giving Me an Attitude
Seriously? You seriously had to give me an attitude? I cannot stand when someone gives me an attitude, it is completely unnecessary and rude. If something doesn't go your way, do not give people an attitude. Explain why you didn't like what the person did in a civilized matter. It makes things better. When someone gives me a bad attitude, I feel like Bianca. Bianca is the season 6 winner of RuPaul's Drag Race and the funniest queen around. If you give me an attitude one more time, I am sending Bianca Del Rio to read you! Yes! Bianca is my all time favorite winner and she's extremely intelligent. She is not afraid to read someone. When someone gives me an attitude, I am like: "Really queen?"
4. When I Am Given a Compliment
Compliments always make my day. Whether it's a compliment about how I look, my work, or my personality, it always makes my day. One of Tatiana's most famous catchphrases is "Thank You" and I use it every day. I say thank you when someone holds open the door for me, does me a favor, or gives me a compliment. Compliments are our best medicine. Tatiana placed 4th on season 2 and came in 6th on All Stars 2. She is extremely fishy which means she looks very feminine and she has an amazing charm and personality. Be like Tatiana when you are given a compliment.
5. When I Am Dealing With Annoyances
I don't roll my eyes at people in public, but in my mind I do! When a student in my class tries to talk back at the professor and calls out constantly without being called on, I get annoyed. It is distracting me from learning! Plus, it is very annoying. Courtney Act was a runner up along with Adore Delano on season 6. Courtney is pure fish. Courtney reacted to what was going on around her in the same way I react when there are disturbances. I am going to Courtney's show in a couple of weeks and I am very excited because she is truly a triple threat. Courtney's drag name is based on the term "Caught In The Act!" Also that is how it sounds in an Australian accent too. Courtney Act is Caught In The Act, get it? I roll my eyes to myself constantly because some people are just not as smart as other people, let's just say that.
These are 5 of the many things I go through each and every day. Next week is Thanksgiving Break and I will finally not have to worry about stress. Oh yeah, I have papers due the day I get back. These situations are a twenty four hour, seven days a week, constant struggle. The best part is watching this show because it melts all my stress away. If you haven't watched RuPaul's Drag Race yet, I suggest that you do! It's the best show on television!
