The Terrifying Likeness Of Frat Boys And Grandpas

Crikey, Kids! Come along with us today, as we explore the college campus and develop a revelation to us all. When this idea was first thrown my way, I found it hard to believe. How could two different ages of the same species be so very much alike? We explored lakes, quads and frat houses and come to the conclusion: it's true! We gathered example after example in their outer coverings as well as their attitudes towards others in the animal kingdom. We have compiled a list for you in hopes you'll find it not offensive, but interesting and most importantly, hilarious!


1.Bucket Hats/ Golf Hats

You all know exactly what I'm talking about. These bucket hats that in the '90s were worn by proud dads to accompany their short shorts and sun-screened nose, now are seen among the young and old. When walking around the lakes, it's easy to find an older man with his wife taking a nice afternoon stroll in the same hat the kid with the camera and Chacos and blog is wearing. Don't forget all the insane patterns too.

2. Acid Wash Jeans

Need I say more? So very matchy-matchy, if I do say so myself, Mr. Affliction.

3. Hawaiian/ Patterned Shirts

Oh my goodness! I will never forget the moment my brother brought home the most atrocious flower-patterned shirt I've ever seen, and assured me that all the boys wore them. Come to find out, he wasn't lying. You could actually go into any super cool store complete with Patagonia's and teeny tiny shorts and find these shirts. But then think, where else have I seen these obnoxious shirts in my life? Ah, that's right, on a beach-ready Gramps. Any older man who is near a body of water can be found in these adorable yet goofy tops

4. Cigars

Come on, seriously? This accessory can be found in the hands of the classiest of the classy older males while in full sports coat at their favorite bar (and one of those nice bars that's actually clean that your parents can go to.) It can also be see in he hands of young college men in their lawn chairs outside their frat house—complete with some form of polo shirt and teeny tiny shorts again.

5. Whisky Straight

I'll actually commemorate ya'll on this, God bless.

6. Sweatpants in Public

No, no, no.This needs to end actually for all ages. And we aren't just talking about people wearing them to class or on their jog around the lakes, no. They have become a form of pant that can be worn casually to any event. Unless you are some cool hip-hop dancer going to class after you parade around town, don't wear them! And lay off comparing these to leggings for girls, because like who doesn't enjoy those.

7. Inappropriate Sexual Humor

Constant. Sexual. Innuendos. Like it never fails to have that one guy (dare I say every guy) stifling a laugh when someone eats a hot dog or banana. And there's always that one friend of your grandfather's that has referenced sex throughout your entire life, and it's only now do you realize what everything means and are so disturbed.

8. Loafers

I'm not talking about the cute little Sperry's or boating shoes or whatever, no. I mean like these fancy as mess little shoes frat boys who think they are the next President of everything and sassy old men both share in their closets. I mean, how adorable and spiffy can you hope to look without them?

9. Beer Bellies

Needless to say "Dad-Bods" for college boys have recently become all the rage, or at least a little more in style, and old men just honestly don't care anymore.

*continuing Steve Irwin voice*

I hope the next time you go out into the wild, you'll be able to find even more of the hilarious coincidences and are able to share them for the rest of the world to see!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
