For some of us, sarcasm runs through our veins like blood. Without thinking, sarcasm comes naturally to me, rolling right off my tongue. To some, we lighten the mood of any conversation; but to others, we come across as smartasses and usually just smirk about it, giving a little shrug of the shoulders.

Sarcasm has become more and more popular, especially in the younger generation. Think about it: pop culture has given us some of the best sarcasm, from actors and actresses to comedians and social media gods. For example, Jennifer Lawrence, one of America's sweethearts, can be seen at any award shows using sarcasm to make fun of herself.

In "Arrow", Felicity Smoak brings not only amazing intellectual abilities, but also some killer wit when dealing with Oliver and in "Friend's", Chandler dishes out more than his fair share of sarcasm.

If you, like the people above, really speak fluent sarcasm, you know these things all too well:

1. Answering a simple "yes" or "no" question with an eye roll and a side of sarcasm

"No", "Absolutely not", and "Never in a thousand years," or "Yeah", "Totally", and "Cause that makes sense" are among the common remarks in your repertoire.The question may have sounded stupid to you or maybe you were mad. Either way, you made someone smirk or hate you in a matter of seconds.

2. Constantly explaining that you're just joking

Sometimes your sarcasm is so strong that people take it to heart, even though it made you laugh.

3. Wearing your opinion on your sleeve or face


4. Judging someone as soon as you make eye contact

You may have never seen the person before or may not even know their name, but as soon as you see something worth mocking, your brain has come up with so many comments that before you realize it, have come out of your mouth

5. Being either the first or last option for comforting

Since you have trouble controlling how your feelings are portrayed, if someone is looking for a soothing shoulder to cry on, don't expect your phone to ring. However, if your friend is looking for some tough love or someone to make them laugh, I hope you're on speed dial.

6. To your friends and family, you're not sarcastic because it's necessary for you to keep breathing and keeps you alive

You might not be good at saying the nicest things, but when you want to, you can come up with some remarks that only hurt a little or work some magic and use so much sarcasm that it becomes sincere.

7. A slow clapping moment is the highlight of your day

After days and years of drawing a blank whenever you used sarcasm, they finally understood it.

8. People tell you constantly that you are rude, but trying to turn off your sarcasm is like trying to stop a tsunami, impossible

Censoring your comments to make sure someone doesn't get hurt is sometimes just too much, and if people think you have a bad attitude, so be it.

9. Putting up a wall when you feel any emotion because you're definitely not human

Happy= sarcasm

Angry= sarcasm

Scared= sarcasm

Amused= sarcasm

Annoyed= sarcasm

10. Only feeling like yourself when you're talking to someone who can be equally as sarcastic as you

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
