Being an adult sounded great when I was like, thirteen. I had it all figured out: My best friend Jane and I would move into her uncle's cottage in England. He's a big-time director and owned Beatrix Potter's house. It was going to be amazing. Driving old range rovers around the estate, listening to the Cure and the Clash, and eating (and drinking) like queens. Judging by the fact that I'm living in a tenement here in Brooklyn, and she's living with her mother-in-law in New Jersey, things haven'…

It's mighty strange

Happy Sunday, programmers! I may not be one of you, but I understand your struggle. One of my best friends in college was a computer science major , so I know exactly what it's like! Just kidding! I know I could not have lived the life that he did. I was sitting pretty getting a simple little liberal arts degree while this man had to stay up for 48 hours at a time to finish a singular project . Most of the time, he was just a cool bisexual stoner who just happened to be a STEM kid as well. But…

She's not as Oedipal as you might think.

We have no idea what is happening here and we are obsessed with it.

This is why Photoshop tutorials exist.

You can only work so many hours every week before you crack. While some think 40 hours a week is a back-breaking amount of working hours, others must tolerate 50-60 hours of weekly work to stay afloat financially. In my opinion, that's when you start getting a bit loopy. If you're working nearly every day without any breaks, you put yourself at risk for long-term health issues and general distress. If you have no time for loved ones or hobbies, then what is the hard work really for? Some people…

Things just get worse

Make like a meme and f*ck off

Breezy

How can a person feel so ugly and look so beautiful at the same time?

Having a sense of humor is an invaluable quality. You don't have to be a brilliant standup comedian to know that! Comedy is highly beneficial if you're weak in other social skills. How many times have you heard the story of the class clown who was able to gain the respect of their fellow students through their sense of humor? I was 100% that kid when I was in high school. I took this John Waters quote extremely literally when I was a teen, and in some ways, I still do! "Anytime you make someone…

My favorite Disney villain is, by far, Cruella de Vil . First of all, I love a name that is severely on the nose, and you don't get more on the nose than 'Cruella DeVil.' She's one of those villains that has so much fun with being evil; killing puppies is such a whimsically horrible hobby, don't you think? I also respect that she outshines every character in that show by miles! Roger and Anita, who? Pongo and Perdita where? The only name on my lips rhymes with Isabella Until. I don't mean to br…

Goes from rated R to G so fast

It's Meme Time . I don't care what time of the day it is: if you are reading this at press time, it is that special time of the day when you're going to look at some memes whether you want to or not. Meme Time is a lot like the recent social media phenomenon BeReal . On BeReal, you get prompted by your phone every day to take a picture of what you're doing; insta worthy or not. The notification will go off during random and different times of the day, so you never know when it's time to BeReal.…

Whoever said dogs were "Man's Best Friend" forgot to include penguins, raccoons , salmon, and all animals in the animal kingdom. Animals are the light of our lives. They all deserve parades and non-toxic cakes celebrating their existence. Disney's Animal Kingdom is just that; a theme park devoted to celebrating animals 365 days a year. They say it's not a zoo, but it's totally a zoo. Animal Kingdom is 33% depictions of wildlife in Asia and Africa, 33% Pandora the World of Avatar, and 33% Dinola…
