10 Ways To Lose Friends And Annoy People

1. Invite your friend nobody likes to a closed party.

When you get invited over to someone's house, it is always a great idea to respond and ask if you can invite someone whom you know the host hates and did not invite on purpose. This does not end awkwardly, and the host will be so glad you blatantly pointed out that they forgot to invite that person.

2. Never RSVP to anything.

Showing up unannounced is really so cool. Everyone loves that kid who never responds to any group texts and then just rolls up to the party without even bringing any food or drinks.

3. Send 500 texts in a row to the same person.

The great thing about iMessage is that you don't have to take the time to compose your thoughts and send just one message. Just send as many messages as it takes until you can get your point across. If they don't respond, it can be really helpful to send follow up texts.

4. Arrive super late to everything.

Only losers show up to events on time. It doesn't matter if this is class, an interview, or hanging out with your friends. It is always better to arrive at least two hours after the event started without telling anyone you will be late.

5. Talk about your really annoying hobbies in excess.

Are you really into reconstructing obscure instruments that you bought off the internet, or manically caring for your pet turtle? You should tell everyone about it in excruciating detail. They are your friends, so they should not mind listening to you talk about it for hours.

6. Make inappropriate comments randomly.

There is never a bad moment for a really rude joke. It does not matter who you are with; they will understand that this is your humor and will be okay with whatever you want to say.

7. Invite yourself over to people's houses.

Never offer to host anything at your own house when you can just plan something at somebody else's.

8. Start dating your friend's boyfriend or ex- boyfriend.

You know that there is no such thing as off limits when it comes to relationships. All is supposed to be fair in love and war, right?

9. Regift awful presents as birthday gifts.

When you don't have time, or don't really care about someone's birthday gift, pull open your drawer of crappy gifts you have received in the past, and bring them back to life. That Costco gift card you got three years ago and never used? Free car wash vouchers? What about that hideous tote bag from Target you won at a fair? Those are perfect examples of heartfelt gifts people love to receive.

10. Borrow things and never return them.

Tell them that you are just borrowing, when you have no intention of ever returning said item. Whether it be food, clothes, a beloved novel, or cat ears for Halloween, take it knowing that they will never get it back.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
