Why can I quote every movie I've ever seen, but I forget someone's name the second they tell me?

There's nothing worse than getting laid off . Just kidding, there is something objectively worse than that: finding out you're getting laid off from an outside source days before it happens. Being terminated without pay is possibly worse than getting let go, but getting let go always feels somewhat slimy, especially when your department is seemingly cut for no reason. Getting laid off is like saying, “we'll give you a little unemployment as a treat.” It's seemingly innocuous, but it's just anot…

We were all undeniably stupid at one point or another, so who are we to judge?

Don't call me without texting first.

As per my last email...

And for my next trick, I'll be breaking my own heart by exaggerating my place in other people's lives

All my friends are plants.

I am ugly and I am proud

Oh boy did that manager learn their lesson.

When I say "I'm busy", I mean that I'm 8 episodes deep into my new show and I would rather hang out with them than any real human people.

It's easy to write something and never go back to edit it. After all, there are only so many hours in a day to get things done, and in many jobs, if you throw something onto the page, often nobody will clock your errors.

My LiveJournal was filled with Radiohead lyrics that not-so-subtly were directed at my ex-boyfriend, and stupid pictures with sad filters and contrived poetry. I scrawled the same lyrics on my ripped jeans and walked miles with my Discman with tears in my heavily lined eyes thinking about how hard my life was. While I grew out of…

When communicating with strangers on the Internet, it's often difficult to gauge whether someone is being serious or joking. That's a big part of the reason why tone indications are so popular with Gen Z. For the uninitiated, tone indicators are little acronyms someone might put after a question or comment online to indicate whether they're being genuine (/gen), joking (/j), or teasing (/t). I will admit that sometimes tone indicators can get a little out of hand. Does one really need to say, “…

We've all been stuck in an impossibly cringeworthy situation before, whether it's of your own doing or someone else's. Maybe, when you look back, you realize that super cool outfit from middle school actually looked horrible, or you uncover footage from your aspiring comedy career that reveals you weren't ever all that funny to begin with. If you're feeling down on yourself or like life has dealt you a raw deal, take comfort in the fact that you're not one of these horribly cringe-worthy indivi…
