5 Things 2016 Taught Me

Well we are one week into the New Year and I haven’t just yet learned that much in this year, mainly because it’s only a week into the year. So I just want to tell people what I learned in the year 2016.

1: No Matter How Many Heroes You Lose, New Ones Will Always Be Born


So many great heroes of the media passed away last year, and while many people (including me) were crying. A few people pointed out that while we were losing stars we could have had new ones born and if they grow up knowing that can reach for the stars and maybe be the next great star.

2: Shitty people may win now but they won’t win later it life.


2016 blessed us with the Alt-Right. And by blessed, I mean in the way that all your teachers give you Fs and kick you out of the school because you went to the bathroom at your own home not during school hours. Don't try to make them look amazing like the rest of the world. They are awful people.

3: Friends from the Internet are Pretty Amazing.


It's really hard for me to make friends in the "real" world, however when I'm online I oddly come out of my shell easier and can make many different friends. They support me to reach my dreams and don't tell me I can't reach at times, and aren't afraid to help you when you are in need.

4: White People Still Suck


For the sixth year that I really started wanting to learn from the world, I just learn white people still disappoint.

5: Memes will Never Die

We are Number One. Harambe. The Bee Movie. You name is everything can be a meme and memes are a blessing and will always make your day. Here is your final blessing of the day.

I Hope what I learned helps you, and I hope you have an amazing 2017

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
