Being a fan of someone is child’s play.
It’s when you become a number one fan that you’re sitting at the grownup’s table.
That’s because being a number one fan requires, time, dedication, partial insanity, and, of course, relating to these 14+ things only number one fans know to be true.
No moment was greater than when you scored “top fan” on your idol’s Facebook page.
It’s all your going to talk about come Thanksgiving dinner.
It doesn’t matter how broke you are, you WILL buy those concert tickets.
Even if you have to steal your roommate’s food in the middle of the night like a dirty rat.
You need to join a trivia team at this point since you’re getting 100 on every quiz about them.
Is there a score higher than 100? ‘Cause that’s clearly what you deserve.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in the middle of Home Depot; if your fav singer’s jam comes on, you will break it down.
Yassssss.
Show those fellas in aisle 12 what they’re missing!
You’re not playing a short game; you’re a number one fan for the long haul.

In fact, you’ve already got the date set.
It’s just you, your besties, and all your canes and blood pressure medicine in 40 years time.
If anyone dares to criticize your idol, you will go “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE” guy on their butts in 0.9 seconds.
It’s kind of like transforming into the Hulk, but instead, you just get realllly emotional.
You forget how to sing — let alone talk — when your idol graces your presence..
And yet, when they shove a microphone in your face, you WILL sing. Just like a trained monkey.
Doing a “pop quiz” is essentially called studying, right?

Sure, you flunked out of school and became an even bigger disappointment to your parents, but what’s that compared to the top score on a “what’s Niall’s favorite pizza topping” quiz?
You know just how to get your celeb crush’s attention.
You could tweet to them every day or mail them random packages of your hair, but this … this, my friends, is much better.
You relate to the Justin Bieber girl on a spiritual level.

Sure, those eyes creep you out after a while, but she’s a fan-girl, just like you.
You have much to learn from her, young Jedi.
If you’re a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll obsess over everything she posts, looking for clues.

“WHAT DOES THREE PALM TREES IN THAT PIC MEAN?!?!”
Your room is covered floor-to-ceiling in their merch.

And it was worth every penny.
When you met your idol, you were so excited, you hallucinated that it was really them.

And then ended up on a list called ” 12 People Who Hilariously Thought They Met Celebrities ” — oops!
On occasion, you might take things a little too far.

But it’s all in the name of love! Besides, you were a fan-girl (or guy) before it ever was a thing.
So, no harm, no foul, right?
