13 Slang Words I Started Saying Ironically and Now I Can't Stop

I always say slang words as a joke or to be funny, but then I realize that I've actually integrated these words into my everyday vocabulary and now I can't stop. I don't know how I feel about this, but I do know that I am not the only person with this problem.

1. "Totes"

I totes hate that I say this word. I totes want to slap myself every time I say it. Every time I read the word "totes" I lose brain cells, but I still accidentally say it sometimes and I'm trying to stop.

2. "Dope"

Shoutout to my friends who make fun of me for saying "If you could ..., then that would be dope." Yeah, I don't know who I am now either or how I started using the word "dope" but here we are.

3. "Shade"

I actually love throwing shade though. I don't even hate that I say this word. It's a great word and an even greater pastime.

4. "Aesthetic"

Most people who say this word 1) don't say it correctly and/or 2) cannot spell it.

5. "Garbage"

"This is garbage" is easily one of my most used phrases. Can't find a parking spot? Garbage. Can't find your car keys? Garbage. Lost your debit card? 100% GARBAGE.

6. "Low key"

I high key hate that I say this multiple times a day. But I also low-key love it because I am low key.

7. "Fam"

I call everyone "fam." Please don't get offended or weirded out by this. If anything, you should be flattered by this. Example: "Thanks fam"

8. "Same"

It's just so much easier than saying "me too." Also, I am very relatable so I say "same" to a lot of things daily.

9. "Literally"

I can't stand that I'm part of the problem where people say literally but they don't mean literally. But, hey, at least I know the difference so I'm counting this as a win for me personally. Example: "I literally might starve to death"

10. "...or nah?"

If I end a question with "or nah?", 1) I apologize, 2) I'm trying stop, and 3) I know I shouldn't still have this in my vocabulary because it's not 2014 anymore. Example: "Are you going out tonight or nah?"

11. "bish whet"

The amount of times I type those words is embarrassing. I guess I'm just easily confused and I question people's judgment a lot hence the "bish whet" response you're probably going to get from me one day soon.

12. "bruh"

I love this word and I hate this word. This is my favorite word to say when I get annoyed at other people in traffic. Example: "bruh why did you cut me off"

13. "AF"

The reason I'm so annoyed at myself for saying this is that I say it out loud. It's understandable to type out "af" because who wants to type the whole thing? I certainly don't. Example: "I am tired af dude"

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
