6 Reasons Why It’s Great to Be a Vampire

The Twilight sequel is finally here! Women everywhere will be lining up across the globe to get a front row seat for New Moon (and to see Taylor Lautner really break out of his shell). For those of you who are unfamiliar with the books, the main character Bella (Kristen Stewart) falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen (Pattinson's character) and longs to become one of their own.

Now you may be asking yourself, "Why the heck would a young girl want to become a vampire?" In most vampire films the main characters spend a lot of their time running from the bloodsuckers. Well, many people will tell you that in Bella's case she wants to become a vampire simply for love. However, I have a different theory ... that it's all for the perks! Here are my six reasons why it would be pretty great to be a vampire. Sink your teeth into this, Twilight fans!

#1: You Can’t Get Fat
Craving a double cheese Chipotle burrito for lunch? Well guess what … you won’t even be tempted to stand in that ridiculously long line if you’re a vampire. Because vampires are completely grossed out by the sight and smell of human food, you’ll have no desire to pig out. Do keep in mind that your new diet may freak you out a bit. Just remember to only feed on animal blood like the Cullens and stay clear of PETA. And beware of those bloody calories; they can really start to add up.

# 2: You Can Predict the Future
Freaking out about when your crush is going to call or concerned about whether you’re going to get that new job offer? Well no need to worry because if you’re a “special vampire” like Twilight’s Alice, you already know the answer. Think about it … you would to be able to predict who you’re going to marry, how many kids you’re going to have, or whether you’ll eventually reside in a city apartment or country house. It’s kind of like the game of MASH, but all mapped out for you (which by the way, caused me to get a “C” in 5th grade science).

# 3: You Can Read Minds
Is that hot guy on the subway gay? Are those manicurists at the nail salon gossiping about me? And is that purse I’m about to buy a fake Louis? These are questions women ask themselves all the time. But, if you could read minds like Edward Cullen, there would be no need worry, because you would always get a straightforward answer.

# 4: Sleep is NOT an issue
Are you perpetually trying to cross those ten things off your to-do list? Well maybe you should consider becoming a vampire. In Twilight, none of the vampire characters are able to sleep which gives them eight extra-long hours to do whatever they want. You could wash your car, organize your closet, or even watch reruns of Project Runway while still making it to work on time.

# 5: You Can Run Like the Wind
Forgot the half-marathon! If you’re a vampire you’re going all the way to the Summer Olympics and winning the gold in track. Vampires have the power to run at super speed which is supposed to help protect them from their enemies. The only downside is you can’t run away from everything … the Volturi (the vampire government) is always watching.

# 6: You Would Be Hot, Really Hot
Move over Gisele, the vampires are coming to a runway near you. In being a vampire you would possess all the physical attributes of an A-lister including (but not limited to) flawless and wrinkle-free skin, shiny hair, Megan Fox’s body, and of course a baller-style car with all the bells and whistles. Not to mention an expensive set of designer and vintage clothes (that are yours from 1922) since all vampires are ageless and loaded. Just make sure not to pull a Lindsay Lohan and go off the deep end once you achieve celeb status.
