An Ode to Young Men: Don't Be a Douchebag

When men in Chubbies come to play, it's time to stay away.

An Ode to Young Men: Don't Be a Douchebag

Dear Young Men,

When has being an ass ever gotten you anywhere in life? Besides being congratulated by your beloved ‘bro’ and given free beer for wearing a tank and a pair of Ray Bans.

Not to mention how much of a cliché some of you are:

We can spot you from a mile away.

We will look at you, think you’re extremely attractive, but avoid you like the plague.

There’s nothing wrong with a little confidence, but flaunting it like it’s this year’s hot new item can be a major turn off.

The crew cut, chubbies swim trunks, and polo shirt combo shouts,

“NOT BOYFRIEND MATERIAL!”

Do you know why?

Because you all have been put in a bubble of ‘douchebags only.’

Why do you believe that wearing the same outfit as your "brothers" will impress us?

It looks like an impromptu family photo-op whenever all of you are out at once.

When a swarm of men all in the same outfit come towards you, historically, it isn’t very inviting.

Frankly, you look like a cult: a cult of douchebags.

Poetic, isn’t it?

Let’s rewind to 2001 when an a-typical womanizer in a movie wore exactly what you are wearing today: sans the frosted tips.

We are also aware of the type of girl you’re looking for –

• Oblivious

• Loves to party

• “Hot”

Which excludes about 95% of the female population, according to “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Douchebagery.”

Every girl has had her fair share of heartache due to a snap-back wearing, penny-board riding, certified, a-hole.

I mean what girl wouldn’t be drawn to a well-groomed young man who looks like the epitome of who their parent’s want her to bring home to the family.

But low-and-behold, what fools us women must be, for these men wear masks and reveal their true selves in time.

A man who declares himself ‘King of the Castle’ will never have a Queen.

Every woman is a treasure; we are not objects. We will love you unconditionally, be by your side no matter what, make you your favorite meal, kiss you and hug you when you need it, and even endure your foul gaseous ways.

But if you’re a douche, all bet’s are off. No slutty brownies for you, or any baked goods for that matter.

You will only be left with Cup O’ Noodles -- cheap, fake, and there for you when you are desperate.

So, here’s a bit of advice to all of you men who fall in to this unfortunate category:

Don’t be a douchebag.

Sincerely,

Your Future Wives

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.
