We live in this generation where, unfortunately, we communicate more via social media than face to face. I don't know about you but I get so bored with texting. "Hey." "Hey." "What's up?" "Nm, u?"
ALRIGHT. ENOUGH. Do we not know how to really converse with people anymore? Come on, you guys, this is a skill we learned in seventh grade English class. Don't tell me that when you took a foreign language that you didn't have to learn more than one way to say "Hi" to someone?
We as a generation need to be more social and not only that, but we need to work on being creative when we are being social. When you see someone wearing an interesting shirt that fascinates you, ask them about it. If you see someone having a rough day in the halls and you know you're friends with them on Facebook, send them a message or toss them a like, it'll show that you're interested in more than just the basic "Hey, what's up?" convo everyone else in our generation is having. Basic, right?
Stuck on what to ask or what to say to people that you want to converse with? Literally, just ask something simple. But, in case you're not that creative, here's a couple of things I know I would rather be talking about than just opening a text that says "sup."
1. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why?
2. If you could drop everything and go anywhere right now, where would you go?
3. Who do you think has had the biggest influence on you?
4. Who is the one person in the world that knows you best?
5. What is your favorite quality about yourself?
6. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

13. What stresses you out?
14. How are you after the incident?
15. What is one thing you emulate about someone?
16. What is something you've never done but always have wanted to do?

22. What is the craziest thing you have done in your life so far?

24. What's one thing you would say sets you apart from everyone else in the world?
25. What is one thing you feel your life is missing?
