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

Giphy

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
