4 Ways to Know if You’re the Extra Friend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVWC chapter.

        The popular term “extra” has recently taken the internet by storm and is now being used as an adjective to describe those who do the most. If you’re the friend that is labelled as “too much” or “extravagant”, then you might be the extra member of your friend group.

 

1. You Always go Full-Glam on Weekends:

 

Let’s face it… You just can’t help it… You first start out with a natural brow, but then think it’s too light, so you darken them just a bit, but then the eyeshadow follows and you soon realize that to balance out the look you need to have a smoky eye with some falsies. Then 2 hours later you look like you just stepped out of a drag show, but at least you know you’ll be the one making a statement.  

 

2. You Know a Little Sparkle Never Hurts:

 

While all of your friends might have grown out of their glitter phase at age twelve, you try to incorporate it into every outfit or makeup look possible. Formal event? Glitter. School accessories? Glitter. Who wouldn’t want to bathe in a tub of glistening magic??  It’s just the perfect way to spice up any boring object!

 

3. Your Lifestyle is Inspired by the Kardashians:

 

If you’re the ultimate extra friend, then your complete lifestyle has taken some inspiration from the infamous Kardashian/Jenner sisters. You probably own at least one of Kylie’s lip kits and have had your eye on Kim’s contour kit if you didn’t already buy it the day it launched. These sisters have quickly risen to fame and have taken over the fashion world. The Kardashians have influenced the millennial generation with their beauty, body and fashion advice, and you probably don’t plan on missing an episode of KUWTK anytime soon.

 

4. You Celebrate Your Birthday All Week:

 

As soon as the week of your birthday rolls around, the festivities begin! A day is simply too short to celebrate such an important date, especially if it’s one of the big birthdays… Your extra nature just tells you to create only the best of weeks to celebrate with your friends, so pop the champagne!

 

Until next time, HCXO!
