To all those who have not been introduced to the art of roasting, allow me to enlighten you. What is roasting? Roasting is an art form. It is a fight for survival. At least where I went to school, you either learned how to roast or you were destroyed by an onslaught of verbal attacks. In that environment, nobody was safe. You asked a stupid question in class?

ROASTED. You wore your letterman jacket to school? ROASTED. You got an F on a test? ROASTED. You got an A on a test? ROASTED. You tweeted "I love my family?" Someone would probably roast you. You posted a selfie? God have mercy on your soul because you were about to get ROASTED. As hostile as this sounds, at least you developed some thick skin and became immune to everything that everyone else finds offensive.

Nevertheless, if you follow these quick steps, you can defend yourself in the event that someone is about to roast you.


1. The "Fersure"

Yes, this is misspelled. Don't ask me why it isn't "for sure" because I don't really know. Anyway, if you are ever in an argument and someone says something stupid, "the fersure" is your go-to. By agreeing with them like a smart-ass, you will most likely win the roast.

Example: "Lacrosse is the hardest sport anyone can do."
"Ohh lax is tough dude? Lax life or no life? Ah, fersure! You're right!"


2. The "Oh Dude"

This one is the set up to any roast. You should begin your roast with "oh dude," 94 percent of the time. It is proven to easily get underneath someone's skin. It is a flawless approach.

Example: "I just finished lifting."
"Oh dude, lift dude? Gainz dude? You think you're big or something?"


3. The "You're Mad!"

When someone is mad, and you constantly tell them that they are mad, they will get even more mad. If you are good enough they might even get "so mad" which is the next level of mad.

Example: "Oh dude, mad dude? You mad? Yeah you're mad!"


4. The "Sick"

You can use the "sick" on two different occasions. The first is when someone says something that is either dumb, irrelevant, or you just really don't care about. The second is used as a go-to roast that you can include in just about anything.

Example 1: "I just got a Tacoma-Beast sticker for my truck."
"Sick."
Example 2: "I just got accepted to Harvard!"
"Oh so you think you're sick? You must be soooo smart dude! Teach me to
be as sick as you."


5. The "Hand Point"

The hand point, as demonstrated in the cover photo, is essential to any roast. It is the formal declaration of war. If someone points their hand towards you, you better be ready because it's about to go down.

With these five steps, and with a few years of training, you are on your way to becoming a born-again savage.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
