Recruiters probably help to match a lot of skilled people with quality vacancies. But they can be incredibly annoying and sometimes even straight up careless. They cold message you on LinkedIn , promising opportunities, pretending as though they're sending a genuine message rather than just filling in the blanks of a generic template. That kind of behavior has become expected – I don't even bother opening correspondence from people with a corporate headshot. We recently covered a man whose recr…

Euphoria hit the ground running as a groundbreaking drama with a well-rounded ensemble cast. Throughout the first season, each episode was dedicated to a specific character, emphasizing their unique qualities and interior life. By the end of the first season, Rue, Jules, Cassie, Kat, McKay, Maddy, and Nate all felt like equally essential characters. However, season two pushed a lot of the main cast to the side; Notably, Kat, McKay, and Jules had majorly reduced roles. Rumors of poor working con…

Parents deserves a place to say how they really feel about their children. The past couple of weeks, all of our Facebook feeds have been filled with photos of our “friends” little darlings, ready to take on their next grade of schooling.

1001 [Blanks] You Must See Before You Die is a gimmick book series that I cannot get enough of. It includes titles such as 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die and 1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die. As a child, my favorite book was 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die. As much as I loved reading them, these books ask a lot of you. Seeing every single one of these paintings and reading all of these books, they truly will take somebody a lifetime to accomplish. I recently mad…

Breakups can be one of the most painful things a person will ever experience. I, for one, can barely handle it. I seethe, I write insane emails, I cry for days. Eventually, I snap out of it, but wow. It's certainly an arduous emotional journey. Though breakups destroy me, I have experienced worse. The dissolution of a friendship has proven to be much more difficult to heal from than a partner breakup. After my best friend Emily snapped and turned on me (alcoholism messes with a person's brain)…

Eye roll material.

There is no teen comedy more beloved than Tina Fey's Mean Girls . The 80s had Heathers , the 90s had Clueless , and the 2010s had uhhhh Booksmart ? Edge of Seventeen ??? The downturn of good teen comedies in the 2010s proves that Mean Girls reigns supreme. It's one of the only movies that timelessly captures the emotional turmoil that teenage girls experience daily, and for that, we will forever be grateful. While some might assume that the titular mean girls refer to the plastics, there are so…

Some mistakes were made this past weekend. What was supposed to be a chill day at the beach followed by a fun show in a basement turned into an all-out mezcal-soaked bacchanal that lasted until the sun was coming up. Unfortunately, I can't party like I used to, and I'm still feeling the consequences of my reckless actions. Whenever my brain isn't operating at the level I'd like it to be, I find it helps to take frequent breaks. The brain needs chill time to start working to its best ability, ev…

If you've spent any time on Twitter (or the ‘bird app' as we like to call it) then you know that not all tweets are created equal. Most of the material that people see fit to catapult into the Twitter abyss is either cringe worthy , offensive, or and maybe even both. There's also a wealth of tweets that are so basic they actually make us angry. You know what we're talking about. Those tweets that go viral on the site have either already been tweeted a zillion times or offer up banal sentiments…

Andrew Tate is getting de-platformed, and it has already been meme'd to death. For the uninitiated, Andrew Tate is an influencer who has gained an insane amount of traction online over the past couple of months. Tate's videos have been heavily criticized as misogynistic, as he frequently describes his strategies to control and pick up women in shocking and violent ways. His content is essentially a continuation of MGTOW and pickup artist content that was more popular about five years ago. His p…

Texas is its own cultural juggernaut in a way that very few states are. Some people might lump Texas together with states like Alabama and Mississippi, calling it just another part of the deep South. Those states are “The South," but Texas is Texas. Texas was its own country from the years 1836-1845. Texas is so big you could drive in it for 6 hours and still be in the same state. What other state can say that?

Let's be honest…it's probably been a while since you've read Catcher in the Rye. If so, no worries, the fine people at GoodReads have summarized the novel in a way that both sparks memory, but doesn't give too much away. “It's Christmas time and Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from yet another school. Fleeing the crooks at Pencey Prep, he pinballs around New York City seeking solace in fleeting encounters—shooting the bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Par…

It's a performance

Almost every high school has its fair share of urban legends. Most of our revolved around creepy teachers, but there were also stories of haunted libraries and supply closets, after-hours hookups, and unfortunate boners that may or may not have, uh, made themselves known. My high school was pretty tame in both this department and the prank department. Our wildest form of mischief came in the form of handing freshmen maps of the school that included a fifth floor pool. There was no fifth floor,…

Let's start an argument

The mullet has had a cultural moment in the past few years. Once derided as the ugliest haircut in the world, mullets have been the signature haircut for hipsters. As a wise meme once said of the mullet, “If this haircut shows up in your neighborhood your rent is going up.” The association for mullets has swiftly shifted from country bumpkins to entitled zillennial garbage people, but that doesn't mean that zillennial garbage people are better at mullets than the bible/bullet belt.
