Being too thin is JUST as dangerous, and unhealthy as being too overweight.

10 Comments All Skinny People Are Tired Of Hearing Every Day

As long as I can remember I've been rather thin. I've never had really had a problem eating growing up, so it's not like I've been deprived of food and nutrients. I just can't seem to gain, and maintain a healthy weight. Which is actually super dangerous and can cause a ton of health-related issues.

But people don't seem to realize that, all they see is a "model" like body, and all that comes out of their mouth are annoying comments. Let me tell you, coming from somebody who's been skinny their entire life, these comments are super annoying and really need to stop, because in all reality, being skinny isn't as glamorous as everyone makes it out to be.

1. You need some meat on those bones.

Trust me, we know, and we're trying.

2. Do you even weigh 100 pounds?

Funny. But yes actually, must of us do in fact have a weight in the 100's.

3. Yeah soaking wet. *after we told them how much we weigh*

Why would we be lying to you? And Why are you thinking about us soaking wet...?

4. I bet it's really easy to shop for clothes.

It's actually really hard, nothing fits correctly, and nothing looks even remotely normal on us. There's one store I can buy jeans from and if they ever go out of business, I'm quitting at life.

5. Do you not like eating?

We love eating thank you.

6. You must be a picker eater.

We aren't, in fact I'll eat anything you put in front of me.

7. You must really like your body.

I can only speak for myself here, but my entire life I have not like how skinny I am, and have tried for years and years and years to change that.

8. You're so boney.

Thanks, you have the same amount of bones as I do, sooo *you're* boney too.

9. This wind is going to blow you away.

We wish it would blow us away from your comment.

10. Can I pick you up?

No, why would you even ask that, we aren't toddlers.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
