Brrrrr

There's a better way to mess around

Happy Hump Day!

"Why so serious?" This is not only a quote from the greatest Batman villain of all time (sorry, Riddler) but an important question we must ask ourselves often. Why do we take everything so seriously, even though we don't need to? Boomers talk a lot of smack about Gen Z being too self-righteous and serious, but this is a problem that every generation deals with. Everybody is too serious! We were not put on this earth to yell at waitresses for having to wait 35 minutes to be seated. Things on Twi…

Having a little bit of fun or wasting our time on the internet might seem like a simple feat for most internet enthusiasts, but it is actually a lot more complicated than one might believe. Boredom has a way of eroding our abilities to pursue intelligent activities, pastimes, and/or hobbies. It doesn't help that our attention spans have all but been reduced to nada. It is actually quite depressing - it's impossible for me to make it through a forty-minute television episode without feeling ants…

Oh yeah, baby. It 's Friday, y'all. But does the coming of Friday really mean all that much? As I get older, the arrival of Friday seems to bring less and less satisfaction. It's true that I can go out and party until 6 am without much work-related consequence (like, I won't get fired), but with age comes brutal hangovers, extra dehydration, and the dreaded brain fog that makes even simply existing a trial all its own. Moaning and groaning my way through Saturday and Sunday sounds like hell - a…

Rebel girl!

It's okay to be a little bit silly. It's even more okay to be such a foolish individual that you can barely be serious within our very serious society. I am one of those people, and being foolish and goofy has done nothing but bring joy into my life. In medieval times, kings and queens had jesters, also known as fools, that served as entertainment for the royal family. There were two different types of fools: artificial fools and natural fools. Artificial fools were typical jesters who used the…

Former gifted kids, this one's for you

Believe it or not, the memes you consume daily are not presented to you in some totally random and unorganized order. Memes can be as highly curated as the paintings at a museum. Speaking of museums, I'm going to take a second to share my thoughts on the “immersive experience” versions of museums that have been taking the nation by storm over the past couple of years. I have never been to one, but they all give me such a dark-sided energy. Most of them look like they're just big empty rooms in…

I wholeheartedly believe that memes made me more empathetic as a tween. As a kid, I was obsessed with the internet and being on the pulse of the latest trends. Sure, the content on YouTube was entertaining, but I didn't really learn anything about myself by watching The Annoying Orange. Once I got onto social media proper, I began seeing memes that articulated the exact experiences that I'd had. Yes, I've rubbed my eyes for too long and seen colors! Yes, a teacher has responded to me asking, “c…

Happy Sunday, everybody! People talk about the Sunday Scaries all the time. If you're unfamiliar, the Sunday Scaries are the phenomenon of feeling dread and fear every Sunday in anticipation of the coming workweek. You don't even get to enjoy one of the two days you have off because you're so dang nervous about the week ahead. I used to get the Sunday Scaries all the time in high school. Picture it: it's Sunday at 6 PM, you haven't gotten any of your homework done, and frankly, you don't want t…

Can't stop, won't stop

Aren't these memes swell?

Snuggle in!
