Number 12 you won't believe.

13 Reasons I Hate Listicles
lathaliasong

We’ve all seen them. You’re scrolling through Facebook and you see: 7 Reasons Why blah blah blah. I’m looking at you, Buzzfeed. Well you know what, I’m tired of it. These lists are predictable and uninteresting wastes of time. They are ruining this generation, and producing lazy writers.

So I compiled a list, with no sense of humor whatsoever, of reasons on why lists are dumb. Make sure you stick around for number 12 because you won't believe it. I've already mentioned it like twice by now so it must be unbelievable.

1. Each point has an only slightly humorous GIF or image attached to them.

You read these lists for substance and you get lame memes. C’mon internet, get with the program.

2. They can be super opinionated.

The internet is for facts, not opinions. Everyone says so.

3. That one point everyone is supposed to agree with.

Let’s just say, “Yaas,” and get over with it.

4. The weak point.

We all disagree with it but there needed to be a certain amount of points.

5. The one without an image/gif.

Lazy just pure laziness on the writer’s part. Shame on them.

6. The reason with an image/gif that doesn’t relate.

I’m glad we all understand.

7. The point referencing a current event.


Oh how relevant and current. This will never get old...

8. I really hate how self-aware and meta some of these lists get, like please just be straight forward.

9. The grandiloquent mark.

I utilized a Thesaurus for the entirety of this current entry.

10. The point that restates another point only in a slightly different way.


“Yaas” now we are done with that.

11. The point that feeds off your nostalgia.

Oh yeah, I remember that.

12. The point you will not believe.

I still don't.

13. They always end on a weird number.

Why 13? Why?

Well, that's it. The definitive 13 reasons why listicles are evil. Yeah, evil. You can thank me for saving the world from them with a few "OK" quality jokes later. It is time to get out there and end the mild informative and entertainment value they provide for good.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
