Have you ever stopped and noticed that your own life isn’t top priority anymore? It’s no longer about what you had for breakfast but what your favorite movie character or celebrity had for breakfast. Did you even have breakfast today? If you don’t know the answer, this article is probably for you. Here is how being a fangirl destroys your life.
In case you don’t know, college professors love “ice breakers;” they ask you to tell the class your name, your major/year and then an interesting fact about yourself. If you are a fangirl like myself, this is usually how that conversation goes:
“Hi, my name is Chelsea… Um…I’m a Creative Writing major and a film minor. Well, I don’t know…”
Then the professor cuts in because you’re taking too long, “How about your favorite color?”
“I don’t know, I don’t really have one… But I do know Daniel Radcliffe’s favorite color…”
If you know an actor’s interests more than you know your own, that’s a big fan-girl sign. Though some people may argue that it’s a big sign of being soulmates… Same thing
Oh no, you’ve got a ten-page paper due tomorrow but Misha Collins is blowing up Twitter! Of course, you check! Ten-page paper? That can wait.
I’m afraid I must bear some disappointing news; your teacher doesn’t think Misha Collins blowing up Twitter is a good enough excuse for a late paper.
The new “Beauty and the Beast” movie is on Netflix and you’ve already seen it twice but, that doesn’t stop you from watching it again. Afterwards, you are in a mood to watch (and sing and dance to) Disney movies. So, you spend the next few hours watching Tarzan and Hercules and don’t forget Pocahontas! Disney is much more important than a ten-page paper. It’s a good thing these movies are available on Netflix.
This one doesn’t happen to everyone. I was looking in the mirror the other day and I’ve been wearing a lot of blue and red. I’ve got this new floral preppy look going on and blonde ombré hair. Everyone is wearing pajamas to class, but I’ve opted for a cute blouse, nice jeans, and matching flats. My hair is also pulled back half way into a butterfly clip and…have I been watching too much Supergirl lately?
When you find you’re ready to kiss a frog in exchange for a prince, you know people are failing your expectations. You find yourself wanting a relationship with a bad-boy pirate who has a soft side like Killian Jones in Once Upon A Time. You’ve been eyeing the track team on campus because having a boyfriend as fast as Barry Allen on “The Flash” sounds perfect. A relationship with a dancer wouldn’t be a bad idea – they do it on Dance Academy. The people on that show are pretty attractive.“Netflix and Chill” with a cutie from a popular fraternity or sorority just doesn’t cut it anymore.
