If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake

I'm putting my foot down. The imbalanced favorite-to-retweet ratio has to stop.

If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake
Giphy

This is a public service announcement for those of you on Twitter who strictly favorite tweets and retweet something basically once a month.

First of all, you are a snake.

Who do you think you are to have to throw favorites around like a mad person but carefully curate your retweets when you haven’t made a tweet of your own since 2017. Your friends are out here spitting fire and you have the audacity to ignore its potential? You know when you finally get around to tweeting something that you would want them to throw you an RT. Come on, we are all out here trying to be the next yodel boy. That kid achieved all his dreams in a month and he hasn’t started high school yet!

When you favorite a tweet you are giving the equivalent to that pity chuckle you do when your friend says something kind of funny but you honestly weren’t really listening. You know exactly what I am talking about.

We can all agree that there is nothing worse thing than looking at one of your fire tweets and seeing 17 favorites and what’s that? Oh, it's two retweets. It doesn’t matter how many favorites that tweet gets, it moves down the Twitter feed slowly until it drifts into irrelevancy and can only be found by scroll stalking a profile page.

Twitter favorites are where tweets go to die.

Favorites are honestly just disrespectful.

If you are blessed with a friend who has a sense of humor and puts something out on twitter that is genuinely funny, don’t disrespect them. Retweet to save a life.

In all seriousness, though it could make someone’s day, favorites are like nothing now. They’re like pennies. Show some more love on Twitter, after all it's just Twitter no one cares.

If you want to start showing love now my handle is @HughstonTexas and I think I’m pretty funny.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
