I feel like everyone has been in the state of mind where you often tell yourself, “I just have to get through this week.” Of course, when you inevitably get through the week, you start thinking the same thing the next week. This can be a red flag that maybe, just maybe, you're going through an objectively difficult period of your life. But at the same time, it can be the greatest cope known to man. Even if it feels futile, I'm glad we have cute little coping mechanisms like telling ourselves we…

Use your five minutes wisely!

Good things come in large packages. If you think otherwise, you're a fool. When you're opening presents on Christmas and you see a big box, the first thing you wonder is, “what could someone possibly have gotten me in a box that big? I'm an adult and I usually never get presents bigger in size than Starbucks gift cards.” When the

Memes do not age like fine wine. They age like a comedy from the mid-90s. If you've got a good enough eye, you can tell exactly when a meme was made and when it was popular online. When we consume memes, we've got the hivemind mentality where some memes are in style, and some memes are oh-so out. Let's take image macros, for example. For several years in the early 2010s, that was the only way a meme could be. Memes had to have bold white top text and bottom text, or else they were nothing more…

They smell fantastic!

"Why so serious?" It is not only a quote from one of the greatest Batman villain performances of all time, but an important question we must ask ourselves often. Why do we take everything so seriously, even though we don't need to? We were not put on this earth to yell at waitresses for having to wait 35 minutes to be seated. People doing things you don't like is not a slight against you. Things on Twitter that make you mad should not ruin your day. Most of us would feel so much better if we co…

Heh

Haha

Has this ever happened to you? You're sitting in the window seat on an airplane, people are boarding, and you're praying nobody sits beside you. When you think you might be in the clear, a chatty Cathy sits next to you and tries to get your whole life story. I don't know about you all, but this has literally never happened to me. I've been on many an airplane in my day, and never once has somebody tried to strike up a conversation with me while we're sequestered in a sealed metal tube. There ar…

That hits the spot

‘Neil Banging Out The Tunes’ is an old meme, but not as old as you think. The image of the rodent playing a rainbow instrument was dated April 13th 2006, but it wasn't posted online until late 2014.

I think that “ whimsical ” is one of the weirdest adjectives to self-identify as. Like, imagine just walking around describing yourself as a whimsical adult to unsuspecting strangers. Like what? It’s one of those qualities that are weird to advertise yourself as, but there are definitely people who are a little whimsical. They are the kinds of adults who are obsessed with dark Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan merchandise for some reason. They take the Renaissance fair more seriously than anyon…

Thirty, flirty, and thriving

'Ello

I miss the era of artists releasing “Greatest Hits” CDs. These were essential tools for casual fans of big artists. We didn't have to scrounge around to find the best songs of every random artist; they did the work for us. There are a lot of artists that I like, but don't listen to all of their albums. Take Ariana Grande, for instance! Now there's a singer who I'd like a great hits CD from.

Silly silly silly!
