It's Great You Have Strong Opinions... But Keep Them Off Twitter, Please

It is great that you have an opinion, but I really don't care to read it on Twitter.

Let me start this article by sending you snaps of approval... all of you. I do not care what your background is, your beliefs are, or where you land politically. If you have an opinion that is phenomenal and something that should never change. If you stand up for what you believe in, HOLY SH*T, seriously, I have mad respect for you.

BUT

Please, do not plaster it all over my Twitter timeline.

Recently, I spend a semester abroad. Being away, my only way of knowing what was going on at home was Twitter... except it was all negative and I really couldn't tell what was actually going on because everyone was putting out there two cents on the topics.

Either way, please keep it off of Twitter for a few reasons.

First Reason

Just like you do not care to hear my opinions, I really do not care to hear yours. If I cared, I would ask you.

Second Reason

You plastering your opinion on social media, especially Twitter and Instagram is not going to change anything.

So, instead of posting complaints and stuff no one really wants to read when they open twitter. Try something new...

If it is easier for you to voice your beliefs on social media, try Linkedin. Linkedin is a great place to connect with like minded people and also can help you find a job at a company that is MADE for you!

Honestly though, please if you have an opinion, make your opinion heard. Twitter won't get you anywhere unless your box of Chips Ahoy came broken when you bought them... Go to marches or rallies. Speak your mind, just not on my Twitter timeline.

JOHN B!!!

Netflix

By now, it is safe to declare "Outer Banks" on Netflix as THE TV Show of quarantine.

"Tiger King" got out to an early lead, but since, the Pogues and the Kooks have owned pop culture conversations while everyone has been couped up this spring amidst a global pandemic. And if you are one of the very few people out there in the world that has not heard about "Outer Banks" and or haven't binged it yet, well...

I Spoke To A California ER Doctor About COVID-19, And Y'all, Our Healthcare Workers Know What's Up

In light of what's going on in the world, it's time to get some front-line perspective.

Cassie Majestic

It seems like the only thing I do these days is scroll through social media in a desperate attempt to gain information. My phone has called me out on my screen time more than once, and I just continue to ignore it. You're probably in the same boat — stuck at home, scrolling deeper and deeper into a hole of conspiracy theories and possible "back to normalcy" dates, hungry for information.

While we know that the news is not our mental health's friend these days, getting reliable information is helpful and necessary.

13 Best At-Home Self-Tanners On Amazon For Every Skin Type, For Your Best Indoor Glow Yet

Bask in your own glow.

@soldejaneiro

I've always been interested in any product that can get me the Jennifer Lopez-esque natural glow. I'm Indian and have medium-toned skin, so getting darker was never really the goal. Rather, I've always looked for a product that would even out my skin tone and cellulite, basically making my legs look Photoshopped.

Now more than ever we're craving that healthy, tan glow most of us only get after spending a week poolside with margarita in hand. We may not be spending an SPF-soaked summer hitting on our local lifeguards. But when we're going on socially-distanced walks outside, taking viral-worthy selfies, or just want to test out the best self-tanners for when you do finally get to show off all the bikinis you binge-purchased through your quarantine boredom, these are the best to ways to glow up, no matter your shade of skin, whether you have uber-sensitive eczema-ridden skin, or just want J-Lo glow, smooth legs.

An Odyssey panel discussion about all things quarantine.

Thanks to coronavirus (COVID-19), most of the United States has gone into its own version of quarantine. While no one loves this new way of life we're adjusting to, it's the necessity that will eventually help us fling open our front doors and frolic freely once again!

Premature thinking? Maybe. But while we're in the midst of this quarantine time, we're chatting about the most terrifying, the funniest, and the weirdest thing that quarantine has forced us into recently.

I Spoke To A Virginia RN About COVID-19 And It Made Me Question EVERYTHING

Everyone is concerned about COVID-19, but the healthcare workers are who really know what's up.

As an introvert, I was already accustomed to staying at home more than your average twenty-something and therefore confident in my ability to ride the pandemic out at home — so I thought. When the choice of staying home was taken away, I found my mental health suffering more than usual as I started to feel trapped. All of us are feeling the weight of this pandemic in one way or another, but healthcare workers are seeing a side of the situation that not everyone is privy to. My mother is a registered nurse in the Richmond, Virginia area whose urgent care center has turned into a COVID-19 testing site. She's here to give us some insight.

How long have you been a registered nurse?

13 Father's Day Shirts Under $30 To Gift The Dad Wearing The Same Two Every Day In Quarantine

You've been begging him to change it up, and now he won't have a choice.

@tanner.tolbert

Let's be honest: most of our dads are wearing the same shirts today that they probably wore while changing our diapers and holding our hands as we learned to walk. Sure, we love them for it. But whether you're quarantined with him wearing the same two shirts on rotation every week, or every time you FaceTime him, you know what he'll be wearing before he answers the phone, he needs to add some new items to his wardrobe rotation.

And you know dads — they'll feel guilted into using practically anything you were to give them. But these shirts are sure-fire ways to get him to switch up his wardrobe, and he'll be more than excited to wear each and every one of them. Plus, most of them are under twenty dollars, so no harm in dropping more than a couple in to your cart and letting Dad have his pick of his favorites.
