5 Reasons Why BuzzFeed Sucks

BuzzFeed is by far one of the most idiotic and irritating websites that I encounter on a daily basis. It’s filled with opinion-based, mindless articles that have absolutely nothing to do with reality. BuzzFeed does nothing but give people false hopes and clogs my newsfeed with things that no one actually cares about. Why the hell would I want to read an article about “the 10 cutest things your cat did this weekend"? This time of year is by far the worst with BuzzFeed articles since Valentine's Day is next week. Can’t wait to see all the posts like “22 legitimate reasons why the only Valentine you need is your BFF” or why “single women are strong women.” Oh, really? If you don’t care about Valentine's Day then why are you sharing an article about Valentine's Day? The only thing faker than that BuzzFeed article is you pretending that you actually want to hangout with your BFF or that you don’t care about Valentine's Day. Lets be honest the majority of you that will be sharing such articles are sitting on the couch sobbing at "The Notebook" eating the Russell Stover box of chocolates that Nana just sent you. Contrary to popular belief people, not everything you read on the Internet is true. Here is why I hate BuzzFeed and the person that shares it.

1. It's Irrelevant
Sure I use my social media daily to see what my peers are up to and as a form of news. I don’t read the paper so like most of you I turn to my Twitter feed to see what is going on in the world. I now have to weed through the pointless BuzzFeed posts that have absolutely no relevance to anything in my life. I would like to use my social media for things that I care about in life, not your stupid GIFs.

2. It’s making you less intelligent
If you believe the things you read in a BuzzFeed article I highly question why I am following you anyways. The Internet is full of lies just like that girl on Instagram who you know is a hard 3 but looks like an 8. Buzzfeed in no way has any factual evidence and is nothing but worthless opinions and photos that probably give you some form of cheap entertainment during class. BuzzFeed is “click bait” that their staff comes up with to get views. It's pointless and a waste of your and my time.

3. It shows what type of person you are
How is it that I am never surprised when I see the person’s name that shared such an article? I’m guessing most of you are Facebook friends with those people from high school who you know absolutely nothing about but could guess based on the buzzfeed article they just shared. Like the girl who fills your feed with Internet PDA such as “why your boyfriend is not only your significant other but also your best friend” (gross). There is a 100 percent chance they make out in public and sit on the same side of the booth…

4. It's Flat out Annoying
Yes I said this already but I am trying to get a point across here folks. BuzzFeed is garbage that they sucker you into with dumb GIFs just so you click on their page and get views. Social media is already filled enough with promotions and ads please don’t make it worse on all of us by reposting someone’s uncreative thoughts.

5. You forget that another human writes BuzzFeed
Not sure if you guys knew this, but BuzzFeed is written by the same poor soul that just shared an article titled “31 grilled cheeses that are better than a boyfriend.” Now you sad people can have a pity party because you are both equally stupid and more than likely overweight due to the fact that you ate 31 different types of grilled cheese. Congratulations on sharing with all of your Facebook friends how miserable your grilled cheese infested lives really are.

So please next time you are procrastinating from studying, don’t waste my news feed with man-buns and Harry Styles. I am most likely procrastinating too and want to read something that actually matters.

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.
