They're still good

Teachers deserve so much more respect than they get, and I am partly to blame for this. When I was in high school , I wasn't blatantly rude to my teachers, but I did not give the educators in my life the respect they probably deserved. For instance, I called every single one of my teachers Senior year by their first names, either behind their backs or to their faces, depending on how close we were. Out of Barb, Cathy, John, Paul, Linda, and Kelly, I could only call Barb by her first name to her…

Being tall can be rough. I am a person of the tall experience, but that claim does come with some caveats. I'm 5'11, which is tall for a girl, but not for a guy. Being 5'11 would've been the bane of my existence if I were a man. I would spend every waking hour cursing the inch that I did not have but believed I deserved. Since I'm a woman, I enjoy my days being moderately tall and mostly forgetting about my above-average stature. When I was in elementary and middle school, being tall was way mo…

Mystical

Things are not looking good for the programmers at Twitter right now. Apparently, Elon Musk know absolutely nothing about coding. Who could've guessed? One Twitter engineer claimed “ I can confirm that Elon Musk doesn’t understand anything about our website, or coding in general. Not gonna lie, we laugh REALLY hard about it behind his back. We’ve been calling him “the CEO,” but it stands for Code Efficiency 0." Allegedly, he also doesn't know how to use a far loop, and just copies and pastes th…

Not all memes are for everyone. Some memes are specifically designed for a beautiful woman that's going through something right now. These memes are not made to encapsulate the whole of all human experiences. That would be too easy. These memes are for women on the verge. On the verge of what? Just on the verge. If you get it, you get it. So much online content is made by men about women, and therefore, women are only shown themselves as men see us. That's no good, because the way that men see…

It isn't easy to articulate just how much of a fan of South Park I was as a tween. When I tell you I was obsessed, it doesn't even begin to cover how much I loved this program. I had a tin South Park lunchbox. I wore a recreation of Kyle's hat during the wintertime. I even wrote a parody of the hit song Call Me Maybe to make it about South Park. I loved that South Park exposed me to different current events that I was too young to have been aware of at the time. I was pretty smug walking around…

Groovy

As much as boomers and millennials seem to love warring on the internet over who screwed the world up, we can't let ourselves forget how awesome old people can be, especially when they attempt to use some new kind of tech for the first time. It's also important to remember that we're all going to be boomers some day—time will make sure of that. And hopefully in the decades to come, when millennials inevitably hold the boomer torch, we'll end up on meme pages that poke fun at our little incompet…

There is a certain way to things, and it's called 'my way'.

It's truly impressive how many people will complain about content they've completely elected to engage with. They click a link that says " Random Memes " or something similar and then they whine that they're not to their liking. Well, guess what? Not everyone likes the same exact kind of memes, and as someone who spends time selecting these moderately funny tidbits, I can tell you with complete certainty, that there's is absolutely no way anyone can make everyone happy. If people think the meme…

Perfect game

As time goes on, I've found there are not enough adjectives out there to describe memes adequately. Sure, memes can be funny. They can be random. They can even be dank if you will. Most memes fall into very easily describable categories when looked at individually. However, when presented with a large group of memes, that is a different story. I can't just call a huge conglomerate of memes funny across the board! Usually, at least one of those memes is not funny. To call them all “funny memes”…

It's almost 2023 and it feels as though we've been living in unprecedented times for, well, our whole lives. Maybe I'm just speaking for millennials, but nothing has felt right. Nothing has felt easy. And everything all over the globe feels like a damn mess. That said, we imagine there have been more than several periods of history that felt charged with the same chaotic energy. Looking back in time, there have been countless wars, natural disasters, and violent atrocities in pretty much every…
