Beyond our wildest dreams

As excited as I am for the warm weather to arrive, I always feel a bit of sadness as winter ends and hibernation ceases with it. Though I often decry the pains of seasonal affective disorder, the winter blues are great for enabling behaviors that may not necessarily be the most mentally healthy. This can mean gorging oneself on rich, wintery meals. It can also mean (if you're like me) binge-watching movies and television shows. While I like a current comedy or a cooking competition as much as t…

Time is weird. Five minutes doesn't sound, outwardly, like a lot of time. But it can pass in wildly different ways. Five minutes at the DMV, or waiting for 5 o'clock to roll around, can feel like an eternity. The same goes for waiting in line for a drink at a crowded bar. But five minutes doing something more enjoyable can pass a lot more quickly. A five-minute turn on some sort of amusement ride (they're usually a lot shorter) can feel like five seconds for people who enjoy them, and five year…

If you're the kind of person who spends countless hours scrolling through memes and forgets to take care of yourself, you're not alone. Memes are addictive, like potato chips; once you start, you can't stop. As humor experts who use memes to cope with anxiety and depression , we know how comforting they can be. But if you're using them to avoid confronting your issues, it might be time to consider therapy. Looking at these "therapist memes" and relatable tidbits about mental health won't solve…

Time is a strange concept, as five minutes can feel like an eternity or pass by in a flash depending on how it is spent. For instance, waiting in line at the DMV or a crowded bar can make five minutes feel like an endless stretch, while enjoying a thrilling ride can make it feel like it went by in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, when used wisely, five minutes can be just the right amount of time. Taking a moment to pet your furry friend before heading out can be a great way to make the mo…

As a business owner, coming up with a solid name for your establishment is pretty damn important. You don't want to be serving burgers as a restaurant called “MacDonalds,” and you probably want to avoid something as basic as “Burger.” You can choose to reference what you're selling, or go by the name of a family member. Some hip spots will take the name of the business that failed at the same location (probably due to gentrification) or some twee combination of animal and tool, like “Stag and S…

Who has a key?

If you're trying too hard while making a meme, you're probably doing it wrong. There's nothing more cringeworthy than trying to say something profound with an overused meme format. That's when you start to sound like an over-eager politician or a clueless brand that wants to sound hip and young. Memes don't have to be smart or say something deep to be successful, and if you're depending on memes to sound intelligent, you're definitely missing the mark. The memes of r/bonehurtingjuice reject ove…

Imma do nothing because I just have too much to do

Twitter is a wild place. For one, it can be an incredibly toxic place. The anonymity that the internet provides is something of a blanket to sinister types who live to antagonize strangers. The trolling, and even straight-up bullying, is everywhere. So why exactly do we spend so much time on the godforsaken site? It could be because we're masochists. But it could also be because there's actually some good mixed in amongst the vitriol. The good comes in the form of clever tweets from comedians (…
