8 Trends That Need To Die Immediately

People have gone too far, yet again.

8 Trends That Need To Die Immediately
Yogopand | Tumblr

Why do we feel the need to all dress the same? Or communicate solely via the Internet? Or pretend to like the exact same things as everyone else? Beats me--that's for sure. Nevertheless, we continue to mimic each other in everything we do, and in that, we create social trends. Here are some stupid social trends that I hate and want to die.

1. White High-Top Converse

First of all, why has this particular shoe randomly come back in style? Of course, Converse are always in style, but what's with everyone wearing white high-tops lately? Second of all, why are these people wearing them with dresses? Is it 2004? Is Bush back in office? Let me know because last time I checked, wearing Converse with dresses was emo as hell.

2. Basing Relationships Off Of Snapchat

Snapchat can be fun, and I use it way too much probably, but there comes a point in your personal relationships where Snapchat shouldn't be involved. It's bad enough that courting evolved into just texting for days on end and occasionally hanging out, but now people base their relationships on Snapchat. We all know why Snapchat coincides with flirting, ahem....nudes. Come on, now. Stop Snapchatting the person you like and actually hangout with them in person. Geez, has technology come too far? Do we depend too heavily on the puppy dog filter to uphold our cuteness?

3. Monograms

Are y'all 5 years old? I understand having bath towels and home decor monogrammed, but your clothing? Why in the world does anyone need to have their initials in curly letters plastered on every item they own. Unless you're a child, what's the point in monogramming your backpack and clothes? This has been a trend for several years, but lately, it seems like every girl I see has their initials somewhere on themselves. Weird.

4. Expensive Coffee

Do you guys not own coffee makers? I know most of y'all drop a hefty chunk of money on fattening frappes. Here's an idea: brew your own coffee at home and add liquid creamer, or better yet, whipped cream. Amazing! And if you still don't know how to work a coffee maker, ask your grandma to teach you.

5. Yeti Butts

Shall I compare thee to a Yeti butt? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. I don't know how this phenomenon came about, but I wish it would go back to where it came from. For those blessed souls who don't know what Yeti butts are, they are women's butts sitting on top of Yeti coolers. This is sexist and stupid, to say the least. I feel bad for all of the ladies who've submitted pictures of their Yeti butt. I hope they enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame being gawked at by privileged frat guys.

6. Tinder

If you love yourself, delete your Tinder. Mark my words, nothing good can come from Tinder. If you have to resort to a hookup app to find love, reevaluate your life.

7. Pizza And Cats

Shouldn't this craze have died down by now? I'm glad people who love pizza and cats feel the need to let everyone know that they're unique and quirky because they love pizza and cats. Stop the cat memes and pizza-patterned clothes--they aren't funny anymore.

8. Socks And Slides

There's a place to wear slides, and that's in the privacy of your own home. Seeing people wear them in public makes me nauseous for some reason. Maybe because they're sloppy and disgusting and a pain to look at. Put on some decent shoes and leave the socks and slides at home.

Well, sorry if some of your favorite things made this list. Not everyone can be the most original human being to ever walk the Earth--like me. I'm kidding. I could rant on and on about stupid trends, but I'm going to stop before I offend too many of you guys!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
