After turning 16, our parents start to push us to get a job and take on some responsibility. We start to make our own money in order to fund the fun we intend on having throughout the year. But what happens when you've officially become so obsessed with making money that you can't even remember the last day you had off? You, my friend, have become a workaholic. Being a workaholic can be both good and bad. It shows dedication to your job and the desire to save money. It also shows that you don't have a great work-life balance. Here are the signs of becoming a workaholic.

1. You can't remember your last day off.

Maybe it was three weeks ago. Oh, and you had to request the day off because you had a doctor's appointment.

2. Whenever someone asks to hang out, you're working.

Honestly, don't even bother inviting me places. You already know what the answer will be.

3. When you do see your friends, you're in a "treating mood."

You've managed to save so much money that when the bill comes to the table, you treat everyone to dinner. Finally. Something to spend your money on.

4. You work so much you don't have time to spend the money you're making.

You've casually spent maybe $3 total this week considering you've only had enough time between work to grab a coffee...once.

5. You're too tired to function when you aren't working.

Finally, a day off and the only thing on my mind is how long I can sleep today. Again, don't even bother texting me because I'll be too tired to move.

6. Finally seeing your friends and having way too much to catch up on.

You are with the group again and suddenly you've realized everything that you missed since the last time you've been together, which was more a month ago. Oops!

So, it's time to stop working so much and take time off to enjoy what really matters: the people we surround ourselves with.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
