A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Breaking Up With Your Girlfriend For Fortnite

In This Article:

Cost 1: No more sex

I don't care how good a #1 Victory Royal feels, I hope for your sake and the rest of humanity that it doesn't get you all the way there. You're going to have so much pent up sexual frustration that you will find yourself playing with the female skins just to stare at them running on the screen. You're a sick, sick, puppy.

Cost 2: Now you're a pathetic loner

At some point it's going to hit you that now you're just like one of those weirdo's you used to make fun of in their parent's basement with a headset and a microphone, eating Flaming-Hot Cheetos, playing World of Warcraft. You are that person. That is you now.

Benefit 1: More time with the squad

The best part of Fortnite is that just like Applebee's or a keg of cheap beer, it brings people together. I haven't talked to my cousin in two years, now all of a sudden I know where he will be at any point of the day just so I can hit him up and see when he wants to hop on for a match. Fortnite can bring you back to what is most important, family.

Cost 3: Everything around you will start to crumble

If you had a girlfriend, that means that she probably supported you and looked out for you and your health. Now that she is gone, your health will most likely begin to deteriorate at an alarming speed. The only time you see the sun will be on your way to Walgreen's to pick up new AA batteries for your controller. You will get fat, ugly and smell like hell. Since you are spending most of your time getting #46th place and completing mindless challenges to get that sweet new skin. You most likely won't have a job and it will stay that way.

Benefit 2. Your skills will increase tenfold

Without all that nagging, talking about "let's go on a date," "let's go to the movies," or "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE," you will be able to hone your skills to that of a GOD. You will get so many victories up on your Snapchat Story that it'll be harder to click through than an average day on DJ Khaled's. If that doesn't bring the girls in then honestly, they need to reevaluate their taste in men because that is an achievement right there.

Benefit 3: You can always pursue a career on Twitch

I hear the pay is good. Ninja, the most popular player in the world, made $3.5 million this year. Might want to check that out.

As you can see it's a pretty even match. Take this information how you want to see it, come up with your own list and get back to me on your decision. If you take the gamble with the costs, hit me up to play a match, I'd love to see how the commitment and passion has paid off. If you don't think the benefits outweigh the costs, then congrats you're probably not a piece of shit and let's go on a double date because I'm sure as hell not leaving my smoking hot girlfriend for this stupid game.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
