Plus, your lip syncing skills really are unmatched!

8. You carry around a lucky charm.

Maybe you still have an old rabbit’s foot attached to your house keys or you wear a necklace you got from a bubble gum machine when you were just a kid.

9. You have a signature catchphrase.

Sure, this can be a bit obnoxious to some people, but it’s also really quirky and fun. This is especially the case if your catchphrase is something super silly and nonsensical that only you say. Saying something like, “Don’t be a cheese curd!” will confuse some people, but it’ll also make them laugh. Nothing feels better than putting a smile on people’s faces, after all.

10. You have an eccentric fashion sense.

You don’t take yourself too seriously at all. Instead, you often crack jokes about mistakes you’ve made or silly things you’ve done. It’s not being self-deprecating because you lack self-worth, it’s that you genuinely see the funny side of things and appreciate the absurdity of life and love celebrating it at every turn.

12. You carry a notebook around full of random thoughts and ideas.
