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"

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.
