#TrashTag Is The Only Viral Challenge To Get Behind

For those that don't know about this new viral challenge, here is your chance to get on board. Although this challenge has been around since 2015, #trashtag caught wind when the original Facebook post went viral in the beginning of March.

This challenge is all about picking up the natural world around us. All you do is take a photo of an area that needs some cleaning or maintenance, then take another once you've done something about it, and share a post about it.

It all started with two photos and a caption addressing all the "bored teens" out there and now people all around the world are doing their part by picking up trash and disposing of it properly.

As mentioned previously, this challenge was created in 2015 in California and was sponsored by UCO and everyone who did their part was offered a chance to win a free piece of outdoor gear. Since then, the UCO Trashtag Project has ceased but luckily this new challenge is restating momentum.

Being raised in the time that I was, social media has been a big part of my life. I've seen the dumb challenges like the Kylie Lip Challenge, to the dangerous ones such as the Fire Challenge and the Tide Pod Challenge, so this one offers a nice change of pace.

Trash and garbage effects just about everywhere at this point. If you live on the planet formally known as Earth, you have a problem with trash, and it's quickly becoming one of our biggest problems. It's time we start doing everything we can about it.

I'm not exactly sure if that original post was supposed to be a sarcastic pinch at those other much more stupid, much more dangerous viral challenges, but I will say I am pleasantly surprised that it is catching wind.

It's time for some more challenges like this one.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
