Sarcasm Is Not The End Of The World

Sarcasm Is Not The End Of The World

Can no one take a joke? Life is too short for sadness. Just kidding I'm really sad... no but really. Everyone takes everything too seriously. I think we all tend to forget that we're all animals. We're all homo sapiens. It's time we kick back and laugh at everything rather than shed dozens of tears like I am because of college.

I think the cure to everything is laughter. That's my motto, it would have been my senior quote if I didn't miss the deadline, and it'll be on my gravestone. It's either that or the annoyed face emoji. I haven't decided yet. When life gives me lemons, I like to throw the acidic juice into my closest enemies eyes. I HATE you, so you deserve it. I'm kidding! If life gives me lemons I tickle them to make them laugh! Because the cure to everything is laughter. The next time you have a friend who's sad over believing they're going to die alone, tell them they might (it's bad to lie) but at the same time tickle them. They'll have no choice but to laugh. If they don't laugh it's time you find new friends.

I feel like life throws a ton of things at you to get you down. It's really hard to be optimistic when living in such a negative pessimistic world. But you honestly just have to be. By letting yourself sink to the depths of sadness, it's wasting time that could be spent on seeing the good in everything. Failed a test? You'll do better next time! Burned the pot roast you spent 15 hours working on? Maybe if you ate it you would have died from food poisoning! Lost an arm in a tragic accident? Hey it may have been your dominant hand, but now you can learn to write with your left! There's something positive in everything. It's just up to you to find it.

It's not what happens to you, but your reaction to it. Yes, bad things have happened to me, and yes I've been there, but I've gotten out of "there." If I crack a joke that's super sarcastic, stop being super offensive. LOL. I know it's blunt, but it's called a joke for a reason. No you don't actually look like a rhinoceros. I was joking. I was trying to make you laugh! You obviously don't look like a rhinoceros. You're a human, so I don't get why you're so offended.

I'm just kidding. Just because it's a joke doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. Words can hurt, and this article has gone many ways. The most important thing is that you learned some kind of lesson in this rant. Laughter is the cure to any ailment. Stop taking everything seriously. Be optimistic. Words can hurt. Yes, I managed to 4 craft important lessons into one article. You're welcome ugly.

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.

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.
