Typical Dumb Wattpad Moments

Morning Routines

Almost every good story begins with explaining the main character's everyday life. That part I'm okay with. What I'm not okay with is the insane amounts of repetitive morning routines. Let's elaborate, shall we?

Let's start with my example of a typical morning rise:
My eyes opened slowly as I awoke. I got up, stretched, and yawned happily. I got up to open the blinds. The sunlight cast into the room, the light reflecting brightly. I love mornings!

What? First of all, who smiles right after they wake up? I don't know about you guys out there, but I wake up like some satanic demon from hell. I'm grumpy, irritable, and hate everything. I think you can relate.

Second of all, I shut the blinds even tighter when I wake up. The last thing I want is rays of eye-blinding sunlight in my face.

Let's move on to showers:
After a quick look in the mirror, I slipped out of my clothes and walked into the shower. I switched the water to warm, the comfortable water cascading across my back. Running my hands through my hair, I reached for my favorite vanilla-strawberry shampoo. After soaping up and rinsing off, I walked out and got dressed.

Relate with me here. One cannot simply 'switch' the water to warm. One must struggle constantly between the showers' only two settings, the Arctic glaciers, or Mordor. This also includes water pressure. Your choice, no-water-at-all pressure, or psycho-killer-knives-stabbing-into-your-back pressure. No cascading. None.

A comment I've read many times on Wattpad is, "WTF?! Who's even heard of vanilla/strawberry shampoo?"

I agree one hundred percent. The only place I've ever seen strawberry shampoo is in the baby shampoo aisle of the supermarket. I didn't even know vanilla shampoo was a thing, until Wattpad. I'm pretty sure most people don't have that on hand. Just saying.

Let's finish this off with getting ready:
After my shower, I blow-dried my hair and picked out clothes. I ended up wearing a cute crop top and short shorts. It was hard to decide between shorts or a mini skirt, but I figured I'd wear the skirt tomorrow. I quickly put on makeup and put my hair up into a messy bun. Alright, all set!

Is it just me, or does every teenage girl on Wattpad own no clothes? Everyday is the same stressful decision, shorts or a mini skirt? And of course, whichever you choose doesn't matter, since it's going to be paired with a crop top inevitably.

MESSY BUNS. I've absolutely had it with messy buns. I've never read a story where the girl isn't making a messy bun. There are other hairstyles, last time I checked. For lord's sake, put your hair into a freakin' ponytail, for all I care. Anything, just not a messy bun. Please.

Anyways, stop with the essays on how you brush your teeth, and stick to the plot.

We need variety, and you, awesome readers still following this story, I want you to branch out! Write amazing stories, stay clear of clichés, and succeed! We believe in you! Good luck and happy writing!
