That One Time I Became Mildly Tumblr Famous
Have you all seen this before:
Last May I came across it and decided that it was completely inaccurate. If life consisted of just those three things than it would be incredibly simple. So I made a new one and posted it on tumblr. It looked like this:
See, much more accurate.
Well, a few days ago I came across it on my blog and decided to reblog it so it would be back at the top of my feed.
This was the perfect example of how timing is everything because it took off. I watched it all day and by one in the morning it hit 1,000 notes. Notes mean that someone else reblogged it or liked it.
By the time I woke up at 9 the next morning it was over 6,000. When I went to bed at one the next morning, 24 hours after it hit 1,000, it hit 100,000.
It is currently at 168,045.
What. 168,045.
And it is still climbing steadily.
I've gained some followers, but not enough for it to be substantial. That is why I am only mildly famous. Because it's my post that is famous, not me.
Still, it was extremely exciting when my own post showed up on my dashboard.
One of my favorite things to do is go and read the things that people are saying on it when they reblog it. Here are some of my favorites:
Oh, and I didn't come up with the names of the blogs that said them. Although I wish I did, because that would make me a great combination of weird a clever.
"Sleep shouldn't even be on the list. Sleep is the thing that you finally succumb to when you acknowledge that there is no longer anything that can be done to keep the next day from coming." -omniarch
A response to the last one:
I love that last one. Mostly because I have no idea the logic behind it and I'm not really sure why being an adult means that its not ok to lay in bed and watch T.V. Because I do that daily. And they have a fantastic view on sleep.
Also, I would love to sit in the shower all day. If only you didn't get all prune-y.
This has seriously been awesome. My 15 minutes of mild Tumblr fame has been incredibly fascinating and incredibly. And it makes me feel all tingly inside.
Is that weird?

"THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF MY LIFE" - jaredpadawhattohecky
"Wow beyond accurate" - adancingebbandflow
"This is maybe the most accurate post I have ever reblogged on here" - yourneckplusmyteeth
"Yes bitches, for all of you coming to college this fall be prepared!!!!!!!!" - Iabellesoleil
"Why is food one of them. It takes like 10 minutes to eat a meal." - mrspaulryan
A response to the last one:
"^ are you SERIOUs omg okay let me break this down for you i'm gonna tell you about my experiences in college.
1. idk like what you're eating unless you're eating ramen like even mac & cheese will take like 30 min? you gotta boil water and mix the cheese in and shit.
2. also you have to do the DISHES if you're a decent human being??? which will def take you more than 10 min depending on how many dishes you have to wash (if you're even just making ramen and eat it out of the bowl/pot, you have at least two dishes to do)
also the fact that you have to go to the GROCERY STORE to have all these things in your dorms. i don't have the energy for that shit.
3. going to the caf. you have to WALK there, and you have to have money on your meal card.
4. ordering out. some people don't have enough money to order out everyday. also this shit takes more than 10 minutes anyway
5. idea there are a lot more reasons i'm sure like do u really have a meal everyday that only takes 10 min becaus wow pls tell me how" - nortonism
"I just sit in the shower all day." - deprived-dancing
"naw, it just depends on what grade or what situation ur in. For the most part when ur young (like 10-17) u can have good grades and a social life. When u hit 17-25, u gotta balance ur job/grades/social life. This is were the sacrifices come in. It's called being a adult! There is no such a thing as sleep, jk. U can get sleep whenever ya want XD By sleep, I mean around 8 hrs (normal sleep time for people)." - theespadawholived
