It is said that variety is the spice of life. Unfortunately, my life is bland as hell. It reminds me of all those annoying memes about how white people don't season their food. Just so you know, I do season my food , but I also spend most of my time at a sterile desk in a mind-numbing open office plan, wondering when I will be free from this incredibly boring cyclical hell. I could quit my job, but listen. I've got a couple fussy cats to feed. And I wouldn't dare do that to them. So instead of…

There is nothing like feeling refreshed. There are so many ways to feel a little fresher. I personally like to guzzle down a bottle of lemon-lime flavored Gatorade to get those sweet, sweet electrolytes up. Now that's what I call refreshment. I also enjoy taking a shower and changing the sheets on my bed to give myself a fresh feeling. There truly is nothing like it. When you're in school, being “fresh” or rather a “freshman” is often not

Usually, when you go to a restaurant, you get two options for your side dish: french fries or salad . There is one glorious restaurant where if you even ask for fries or salad as your side, you will be laughed out of the establishment because of your gross incompetence. I'm talking, of course, about one of the only drive-in restaurants left in America, Sonic Drive-In. If you've never been to a Sonic, it's difficult to describe the experience. Imagine a fast food place that sits on a hearty foun…

If you've been watching HBO's game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon , then you're probably familiar with the emotional rollercoaster of the show's first season. The series, which is set two hundred years before the original, is rife with problematic themes (classic Targaryen incest), some strange choices regarding timelines and casting, and some seriously insufferable characters. Yes, we're mostly talking about Ser Criston Cole. While we wait for tomorrow to enjoy what is set to be an ac…

Happy weekend, friends, enemies, and lovers. If you're seeking some quick and easy entertainment, we would have to recommend ye olde bird app. Twitter , for all its unpleasantry, often acts as a hyper-productive joke factory - one that could probably benefit from many of its users taking a day off or two. While it's true that some of the time the prolific posters churn out some incredibly annoying content (the kind that we try to avoid), it's usually possible to find some clever jokes, hot and…

Social media sites come and go, and this summer, there's one sweeping the nation. BeReal is an app that encourages people to show their “real life” online instead of a glamorized depiction of it. Every day, the app prompts its users to take a picture at a random time of the day. The users will post what they're doing and can interact with their friend's posts. BeReal isn't designed to be the typical social media app that keeps you scrolling for hours. It's more focused on allowing people to see…

One of the most interesting concepts I've learned about from being on the parenting side of social media is a little phenomenon called "mom shaming." Mom shaming occurs when someone criticizes a mom for how she chooses to raise her family. When I look at “mom shaming," I see it as a cyclical problem. We have moms posting

I like to laugh; Sue me! If it's a crime to laugh out loud, then I am on the fast track to being sent to a maximum security prison . More than laughing itself, I love to embrace cackling as my primary medium for conveying the joy that lives within me. Cackling is not just a laughter type, it's a way of living. I do not care that I sound like a witch. I do not care that now everybody in the room is looking in my direction. I do not care that an elderly gentleman is now asking me why I'm ‘screami…

I played a musical instrument once. I played it in one of the most lawless music arenas known to man: the middle school band. During my time as a 12-year-old trombone artist, I was kind of killing it. The best thing about trombone is that most of the notes they need you to play are very easy. I remember distinctly that, in our flawless rendition of Don’t Stop Believin’ , I only had to play two notes. I had my knowledge of bass clef and my lips that fit perfectly inside the mouthpiece pulling me…

Greetings, friends. Anyone else struggling a little more than usual with their internet addiction? I may have some theories as to why. You see, at least here in the Northern hemisphere, things are getting a wee bit chilly. They're also getting a whole lot darker. Two days ago I was walking home at just past seven, and while it was overcast, I was shocked at just how little light was available. It was a bit alarming, especially as someone who has to work in an office all throughout winter. Gone…

Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to looking through memes , it's part of my husband's work. And it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet (to scroll through 30 hilarious images) together for the first time, to get acquainted. So I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I could start reading the memes out-loud if you'd like. Or perhaps, I could pass them around in an orderly fashion. If I'm being truthful, I mean, I-I have a…

The local news : one of my favorite sources of misinformation. For the past 10 years (and honestly, probably even longer than that), every local news station in the country has recycled the same tired warnings about drugs or razor blades being snuck into their children's Halloween candy. They broadcast images of colorful candy-like substances and tell parents to watch out, as drug dealers are dead set on secretly imbuing these devilish substances into the bodies of innocents. Of course, this is…

Blink-182 is back, and they've got a lot of news. They are going on a massive world tour over the next year, they're releasing new music soon, and Tom is back in the band. After 30 years, the kings of pop punk are still going at it. I might not have been a teen during the golden age of Blink-182, but their music definitely helped to fuel my teen angst to new heights. I didn't know what an enema was a the time, but it sure wasn't going to stop me. I even dabbled in some of their music that was r…

Writer Bijan Stephen went viral yesterday after asking Twitter users to share some dumb ideas they think would actually make the world a better place. The response was impressive. Most suggestions, like forcing people to work in the service industry, are actually quite intelligent and valid. Those that aren't still veer towards clever and hilarious. We've put together our favorites and hope the thread keeps moving. Lord knows this world needs improvement.

There are times to slow down and times to speed up. If you're luxuriating in a delicious bubble bath on a Friday night, it's time to sit back and take your damn time because it won't last forever. If you're working as a lifeguard at your local community pool and you see some suspicious bubbles, you know what to do sport. Consuming memes can lean towards being a speedy activity; you want those memes hot, fresh, and sizzling, and then you want to move on and take in some more memes. As someone wh…
