21 Thoughts I Had Watching My Boyfriend Play 'Fortnite,' All Night

You’re running really fast for a guy wearing an astronaut costume and carrying an axe. You must be in really good shape... in the game.

21 Thoughts I Had Watching My Boyfriend Play 'Fortnite,' All Night
Isabel Barganier

You've probably heard of "Fortnite," especially if you have a boyfriend. This video game craze is taking over guy's lives and quickly becoming their new favorite activity. I don't quite understand it, but it's definitely intriguing.

This is what goes through my head when I watch my boyfriend play it.

1. Is floating to the island via a school bus really the best way to get there?

I'm getting some definite "Magic School Bus" vibes.

2. How do you know where to go?

This random island has an impressive amount of choices. I bet it's tough to choose between Lonely Lodge, Dusty Depot, Greasy Grove and Moisty Mire.

3. Your friends insult you ruthlessly when you die! How are y'all are still cool the next day??? I know I'm sensitive, but I would have a much harder time brushing that off.

4. Dude. Throwing the controller is not going to do anything. You can't break another one.

5. What does it mean to “catch a dub”?

6. You’re running really fast for a guy wearing an astronaut costume and carrying an axe. You must be in really good shape... in the game.

7. And you just took down an entire building with that axe. An ENTIRE BUILDING.

8. You complain about not having enough time for homework and studying... But I have a feeling this is how you're spending most of that time.

9. I’ve literally never seen you take something so seriously. Your eyes haven't shifted from the screen in 10 minutes. Nothing I say or do could distract you right now, and honestly, I'm scared to try.

10. How can you tell your friends the EXACT location of the enemy, but you can’t even begin to explain your feelings to me? ;) This is good practice for you!

11. This is basically the cartoon version of "The Hunger Games." I'm just waiting for Katniss and Peeta to show up!

12. You look like you should be flying a plane with the headset you’re wearing. "Attention passengers: it's going to be a bumpy descent into Dusty Depot. Make sure your seatbelts are securely fastened."

13. You keep screaming at the TV. I promise, they can’t hear you... but your roommates sure can.

14. Why did you spend ten dollars on a costume that you can’t wear in real life? How important is your outfit in the game?

Don't get me wrong, the astronaut look is a 10/10... I'm just curious.

15. How about we use that money to go on date? What do you think? That could get us 2 burgers, a quesadilla, drinks, fries and a corn dog at Cook Out.

16. I think you talk to your friends more on the game than you do in person.

17. *Thinks the chick on the game is prettier than me*

18. I'm seeing some unrealistic body standards... Should I be lifting weights more?

That chick is totally killingit this round.

19. The level of excitement you reach when you win is UNREAL. You're so ecstatic and of course have to throw a picture up on your Ssnapchat story so EVERYONE knows.

I'm happy for you, but what can I do to match the Fortnite excitement?

20. I can’t even imagine how bad I would be at this. I would get laughed off the island if I tried to play. Should I start practicing without him knowing?

21. Wait. Why am I watching this...?

No hate towards Fortnite at all because I can understand why it’s addicting for people that play. Although I wish my boyfriend wasn't so addicted, let’s let our guys have their fun while it lasts. :)

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
