I have this incredible super power of making people laugh. Some people say it is because I say what everyone else is thinking. Or that it is because my straight face confuses you so much that you have no other choice but to laugh, but I enjoy it. Growing up I wanted to be pretty and I wanted to be thin and in the end I turned out gorgeous but also like pizza a little too much and I'm okay with that.

Beauty fades, pictures don't always do every situation justice, and I don't care what anyone else says, pizza and donuts taste way better than skinny feels. Screw being the pretty one, here are 8 perks of being the funny one (ba-dum-tsk).

1. YOU CAN GAIN 10 LBS AND NO ONE WILL NOTICE
No like, really, I've tried it. You don't have to obsess over your physical attraction because your jokes are so *fire* that no one notices your double chin when you laugh at your own punchline.

2. YOU CAN LIGHTEN UP ANY AWKWARD SOCIAL SITUATION
Things starting to get a little weird? Just crack a joke and everyone will forget that we just saw the guy that sends our bestie copious amounts of pecker pics.


3. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THE BEST AND LEAST PRODUCTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT.
Your boss may consider you completely unproductive but your coworkers can't wait for you to come to work Monday morning so they can hear all the bad decisions you made over the weekend.

4. YOU INSTANTLY CONNECT WITH PEOPLE
You almost start to feel bad in group settings because you *shine bright like a diamond*. Interviews, group meetings, any social setting that you can sneak a flask into....

5. YOU LITERALLY SAY WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS THINKING
We all think it's weird that Shannon is dating a 50 year old man, but when you comment on her insta "Is that your dad lol" she doesn't get THAT offended because she knows you're kidding....kinda.

6. YOU KNOW HOW TO CHEER YOUR FRIENDS UP
Serious situations may be extremely awkward to you but you get to be the friend that turns that frown upside down with minimal effort.

7. YOU CAN LAUGH AT YOURSELF
People are instantly drawn to someone that can laugh at their faults, and with this comes self confidence that you can't fake. Life doesn't always have to be SO serious, so crack a joke and create those laugh line wrinkles....botox ain't going anywhere.
