I'm Not In a Cult, I'm A Multi-Level Marketing Consultant
123RF Group

Oh, hello there, I'm glad you could make it. I almost didn't see you come in. You see, my 4d Fibrosis Mascara has bestowed me with many gifts -- one of which is long, luscious eyelashes that give me such incredible length that they occasionally obscure my vision. You can receive these gifts as well and all we ask in return is that you pledge your loyalty to our Unique Cosmetics family. This is not a cult, I'm just here to sell mascara.

Please come in. Take a seat in the circle of ladies gathered here in my living room tonight. We're throwing a party today, a celebration if you will. Tonight, we celebrate not only the wonderful mascara that the company has created for all of us to enjoy, but also the bond I share with each of you ladies that transcends the Facebook invitation that you all were hesitantly guilted into accepting. I want to take our bonds to the next level. I want you to join the Unique Cosmetics family, and feel the love and support we share with our sisters. This is not a cult.

Red or white? Perhaps you'd prefer a nice Moscato blush instead? Please, don't hesitate, help yourself. There's no reason to be shy, especially not when you are among sisters. I have gathered all you ladies here because as I said earlier, you all share a common thread. Yes, the desire for long, thick eyelashes, but I can also sense a desire for independence in all of you. A longing, a hunger, a desperation for an escape from the monotony of your day-to-day life. You know you can't work traditional hours -- you are students, mothers. Today, I offer you that freedom, the freedom to work your own hours, make your own money and shed the bondage of wage slavery. All we ask in return is a financial investment and a pledge of your loyalty to the sisterhood. This is not a cult.

You see, "Unique" is so much more than a multi-level marketing opportunity. We're a family. We change lives through the power of overpriced cosmetics. You can do whatever you want -- you can host parties, recruit friends, use guilt to coerce your family and Facebook acquaintances to buy things they don't need. But one thing that you will never do is go against "the family." The outside world does not understand "the family" and they will never understand the bond that we share as sisters of the mascara. They call us terrible, horrible names. We are not a pyramid scheme. We are not a cult. We're a family of independent sisters who are changing the world. Soon, every woman on the planet will know our message and the glory of Unique 4d Fibrosis Mascara. This is not a cult.

As I extend my hand to you, I beg you to consider the financial and emotional benefits to joining our family. You will be bestowed with gifts beyond your wildest imaginations, and a 60% royalty on anything you sell. Join us. This is not a cult.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
