Tinder Prank Gone Wrong

Tinder Prank Gone Wrong

     Well, hello there, audience; my little squad of unique and brilliant people. I'm here to tell you a little story that went horribly wrong. Now, a lot of what I do nowadays is for you guys. I brainstorm ideas, ask others' input, and do a little bit of researching here and there. The life of a blogger, am I right? Well, this time, the story that I planned, moved in inexplicable ways. 

     It all started with a little prank that I decided to do on Tinder. The reason for why I did this wasn't for content (I would never do stuff just to write about it, come on now), but I wanted to retaliate against the whole system. It didn't even work, at least for me, because obviously, I'm still single (As of right now). All the trouble of writing a perfect bio, compiling the best pictures, and the strenuous effort to talk to people, ends up in relationships that don't lead anywhere, boring dates, and dick picks. Come on gentlemen (specifically those who appreciate to send imagery of their phallic region, keep it to yourself unless it's asked for), be a little bit classy. However, some might say that I shouldn't be worried about getting a date at this age, and they're right, maybe the reason for why I end up in such predicaments is that I'm not really looking for someone (other than a cool friend to talk and bounce some ideas off of) and my age might attract men with adverse intentions. Nevertheless, the experience was below sub par and so I grew an increasing amount of resentment (not because I'm lonely...), that's why I decided to play a prank. 

     I wanted to see how people would react to a profile containing just an anime pillow. That's right, an anime pillow, with a caption of "swipe right for me senpai". Then I laid back swiped right a couple of times until I received my responses. Honestly, this process took a lot longer than any time before and I had a lot of people either ignored me, asked for pictures of myself, or talked about anime (which I didn't mind because the topic was relevant). A lot of guys asked for pictures to validate that I'm a girl, which also made sense in the context. 

Lit Teenage Slang that's in use RN

The Real Meaning of Teenage Slang (2017)

     Well hello there. If you're someone who's not in touch with the current lingo, don't sweat it. I've came up with 27 terms that you might not know and if you learn all of them then you will be well prepared to talk to the current youth. Even if you're an adult, a teen who's lived under a rock, or just a youngin, don't sweat; after learning the meaning of all of these terms, you will be well prepared to set out into the modern world. Plus, I know these terms are current because I'm 18, and who better to ask about the teenage slang than a teenager? Well.. Sort of a teen. Anyhoo.. Here are the terms.

Lit adj.

     In its literal meaning, 'Lit' refers to something being on fire, but as used in teenage slang, 'Lit' translates to something being cool and awesome. Honestly, it's one of the most recent words out there that's become popular and commonplace in the teenage community. 

How to use these terms in a sentence:

"Damn, that party was 'lit'!"

"'Lit', the homework isn't due until tomorrow morning! Now, I can go procrastinate!"

Boi/ Bruh/ Bra Noun.

     'Boi', which is a word that's sometimes drawn out, as in 'Boiiiiiiiiiiii...' is a popular saying in the teenage meme community. It refers to a frog on a unicycle, I know this stuff is weird. It can also be referred to as the common slang 'Bruh', which almost have the same meaning. They both refer someone as a friend but the term 'Boi' is commonly used as a greeting but it can also relate to an awesome event, which can be an awesome win or an awesome fail. Meanwhile 'Bruh' usually means 'really?', but it can also be used with the word 'why' for emphasis. Additionally, 'Bra' doesn't only mean women's undergarments, it's a term that can also replace the word 'bruh'. It's just a shorter version.

How to use these terms in a sentence:

"Hey 'Boiiiiiiiiii!'"
"That test sucked 'Boi'!"
"'Bruh', why did you text your ex?!"
"'Bruh', why you do dis?"

Meme Noun.

     Now if you don't know what a meme is in today's day and age, shame on you. However, if you've lived under a rock all this time with no internet access, then I can understand. A meme is basically a picture with a funny caption on it, and there are old and new memes. If you start using old memes everyone will basically roll their eyes at you so make sure to stay current with your memes, if you decide to use them of course.

How to use this term in a sentence:

"Cool 'meme' bruh."

"I make 'memes' for a living, I get all the b-*cough* ladies."

Squad Noun.

     A squad basically means a 'team', or a 'group of friends'. Usually, 'the squad' is your main group that you fit in the best. The article 'the' usually adds importance to the squad that it's referring. 

How to use this term in a sentence:

"Let's take 'the squad' out to Kermit's house, he said that he has pizza."

"Guys, check out my 'squad'."

Swag/ Swagger Adj.

     'Swag'/ 'Swagger', you either have it or you don't. It's a hard term to describe, it basically refers to someone who's cool, someone who has shades, the right shoes, the hat, the walk, etc. However, swag can also be a derogative term to describe prepubescent 12-year-old children who try to act cool. Even though the term 'swag' is a thing of the past (specifically 2007), it's still useful to understand it's meaning.

How to use these terms in a sentence:

"That boi got 'swagger'"

"I wish I had as much 'swag' as Jay-Z"

TBH

     This is a transitional acronym that stands for 'To Be Honest". 

How to use this term in a sentence:

"TBH, I can't write this page right now"

"I like you as a friend, tbh, I've always loved to spend time with you"

Thirst noun.Thirsty adj.

     The term 'Thirst' most commonly refers to the want for, how do I put this lightly, recreational procreation. When someone is thirsty, it just means that they're really desperate for attention from the opposite sex (sigh* ... I didn't want to say it but I did).

How to use these terms in a sentence:

"The 'thirst' is real"

"Damn he's/she's 'thirsty'"

Sliding into the DMs verb

     Sliding into the DMs, which is an acronym that means Direct Messaging, is an effortless action of engaging with someone from social media by text. This action is basically a loose term as it can also imply sexual communication, through the use of a corny or good pickup line, with the person from social media.

How to use this term in a sentence:

"I slid into his 'DMs' last night"

"Dude, I was so close in sliding into her 'DMs' last night but then she had to leave"

10 Odd Ways to Earn/Save Easy Money for College

10 Odd Ways to Earn/Save Easy Money for College

     So we've all been in a situation where money is tight. Where budgeting is a problem and/or the payments are too high, such as college tuition. Plus, if you don't have a lot of money, and the part-time job doesn't pay the bills, and you're desperate, but not desperate enough to sell your innocence, there are still some methods to save you money and even earn some in college. Also, I would like to point out that this information is strictly for people in desperate need and that some of these methods can be applied to real life but I don't recommend them to people who are well off in terms of wealth because it's time-consuming and unfair to other people who really need the resources. Therefore, use your morals and common sense. Nonetheless, let's get on with the examples.

1. The first money saving aspect that I would like to recommend is couponing because it can not only help save on groceries but other products as well. If you know exactly what you need to buy for the week and a coupon book in hand it, it's easy to clip them and if you don't clip coupons excessively then you won't have unused and expired coupons. Just clip what you need. Plus, I've heard that some people go to paper recycling centers and dig through a dumpster of papers there, but I don't condone such practice.
   
2. Donate blood and genetic material. If you're not afraid of needles and need extra income, then donating plasma (a.k.a. blood) will be a great opportunity for you. The donations at certain clinics pay their patients 30-50 dollars and that adds up to 3,600$-6,000$ if you go 10 times a month, which is the recommended maximum of trips. Not including sick days. Plus, if you are male you can donate your sperm to a bank for around 50 dollars and the maximum times that you would be allowed to donate sperm is three times a month at most. That's 12,000 dollars at most and 7,200 at least if you're a guy, but there's also an option for females to donate their eggs for 8,000-10,000 if you're willing to undergo the risks.
   
3. The next way for hungry college students save money is to eat at the soup kitchen. Hey, if you're in thousands of dollars in debt, then why not partake in what the community has to offer. When I volunteered at the soup kitchen, I was appalled at how much food goes to waste even in the soup kitchen. There was almost always some food left over for the farmers of the area to come in and grab what's left. Therefore, why not feed some students that will further the economy in the future and most likely return the favor to the soup kitchen in the future? 
   
4. Another way to save money is to be included in church events. You don't even have to be Christian to partake in those events but you must be aware that partaking in those events does take away from the community. However, if you're the community that needs help then go ask for it.
   
5. Plus, if you have to eat at school because it's required for first-year students then bring a plastic bag with you to the school buffet if it's offered at your school. Then proceed to get as much cereal as you can and then bail.

8 Ideas for My Dream Funeral

8 Ideas for My Dream Funeral

     I know that I'm a youngin, somewhat 18ish, I have fantasies of my most important moments such as my wed... funeral! Doesn't everybody fantasize about their funeral? No? Really? Well, why not? I mean, birthdays and holidays are great but they're very predictable and happen all the time, and weddings can happen once but most people have more than one anyways. However, funerals, funerals are special because they only happen once. They commemorate the dead, the life that no longer exists, and it only happens once in a lifetime. It's a special occasion so why not make it the best celebration? Why not let your loved ones remember you for the creative and fun being you were when living? Nobody remembers weddings anyways, but funerals should memorable because they're the reflection of the deceased. That's why I made 8 ideas for my dream funeral:

1. The first thing that I want at my funeral is for every guy to wear a neon blue dress; yes, every guy. And, I don't mean a ballgown. No, I want guys to wear full on cocktail dresses with sparkles and maybe some flashing LED led lights. However, stilettos are optional. I don't really want guys tripping at my funeral.
   
2. The second thing that really has to be at my funeral is the
   HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA and "Another One Bites The Dust" to be played by a hologram of Morgan Freeman (since he's probably going to be dead by then (;^;)). To set up the atmosphere for what comes next.
   
3. I want my uncompleted bucket list to be completed on my funeral day, which includes skydiving in Machu Picchu, moose watching, riding a mechanical bull, and more, or everything that I own will go to my dog. 
   

7 Reasons Why College is Not Worth It

7 Reasons Why College is Not Worth It

     Now, we've all been informed that life works in a linear way, that we all start out as children, grow up a little bit, and go to school. After school, we're all expected to go to college, attend a job, get married, and start a family. However, is college even necessary? Some people attend college for the sole reason of just attending, some are pressured by family, friends, and society, but is it really the only route to take? Absolutely not, so here's where I'll tell you some reasons why college is not for you:

1. If you're going for a major that you know you're not going to love, then college is not worth it. When a typical student spends tens of thousands of dollars on education and then ends up not using their degree, then what was the point of college? Is it not it a bit wasteful? I've worked in the restaurant industry for five years now and I can attest that many of the people that work in the restaurant industry have degrees. However, they're no longer using their degrees because they decided they either don't like their major, or they can't find a job, or they earn more money serving people. It makes no sense to spend money and time on a degree that won't even be used. 
2. Now, this is an obvious one, but college is extraordinarily expensive. Sometimes people decide to go to a prestigious or a private school in order to earn their degree, but they end up in debt. 100,000 dollars is a lot to spend on a degree that won't be repaid in a short time or used in a job setting. Of course scholarships and grants help the student pay for this debt, but not every student earns scholarships, and if they do then the scholarship rarely covers the full cost of the course. By going to a community college for a year or two is a better alternative that will save money and allow the student to explore courses that are interesting to them with little or no financial consequences.
3. Another reason why college might not be for you is if your parents are making you do it, or anyone for that matter, your friends, your coworkers, etc. If it's not your choice to go to college then why go through all of the trouble of earning a degree that you might end up hating? Won't it be easier to start off with a job and figure out your interests as you go? There's an option such as a gap year that could potentially help you because it can offer a new viewpoint on how the real world works.
4. Now this one annoys me a little bit. Let's say that the only reason for why you'd like to go to college is because you're only interested in the fantasized version of college. You know what I'm talking about, drinking alcohol, doing drugs, and attending college parties because you're finally on your own, away from your parents. There's an easier and less expensive way to do all of that and it doesn't involve spending copious amount of hard earned (possibly your parent's) money.

9 Salty Reasons Why Prom is "Fun"

9 Salty Reasons Why Prom is "Fun"

     If financially you can attend the prom, here's nine reasons to why prom is fun to attend. Now, I know that I personally don't want to go to prom for the second time, but maybe I'm just salty about the price because there are some things that make prom fun to go to. Here are some of my reasons why prom is fun.

1. You feel like a princess when you're dressed in a hundred dollar ball gown, with matching heels. The way that the hem gracefully hugs and follows your body makes you feel like a goddess. The hair piece, the hair that took you forever to make, the makeup that emphasizes your cheekbones and jaw, all of those pieces come together to form the perfect you. However, if you over do it, be warned that the makeup will make you look like a scarecrow (honestly, I didn't know what to compare the look too, I think the word "scarecrow" sends the closest term I can think of).
   
2. Your feet might hurt and blister at the end of the night, but it will be worth it because your feet will look on fleek.
   
3. The date that asked you out by a PROMposal (I swear, last prom joke), will be standing at your doorstep. You two will patiently proceed to wait for her mother to take 100 photos of you two, which will last forever in her scrapbook, in order to embarrass you both in the future. 
   
4. When you finally arrive at the restaurant before the prom, be prepared to have actual fun and actual conversations because you won't be able to talk over the loud rap music at the venue. 
   

7 Best Reasons Why Prom is Not Worth It

7 Best Reasons Why Prom is Not Worth It

     So last year I've attended my junior prom, and guess what, it completely sucked. Not only was there a cringy scene on the dance floor but there was nothing else to do but to dance and take photos in a photo kiosk (I don't know how to describe it and it's not exactly a photo booth). It made me want to never again attend prom for as long as I live. That's why I've compiled 7 reasons for why prom is not worth going to.

1. When people say that you don't need someone to go with you to prom to have a good time, they're lying. When almost everyone starts to partner up with their dates and you don't have a date, you will be stranded by yourself in the middle of everyone. Wanting, hoping that someone else is in the same position as you but you will shortly notice that most of them have sat down and started playing with their phones. 
   
2. Prom is expensive. If you're not ready to shell out at "LEAST" 150 dollars for one single night, be prepared to break open your piggy bank because you're going to lose a lot of money. Not only do dresses cost 90-500 dollars (some cheaper options include discounted dresses and goodwill) but you also have to buy shoes. Plus, hair decorations and haircuts, dress alternations and such. Additionally, if you're a guy, you don't only have to buy or rent a suit but you also have to buy expensive shoes to match your outfit. You can also rent a limo, but that will cost you 150 dollars including gas and tip unless you ride with more people; but let's say that you asked your parents to drop you off or someone is paying for you, the tickets still cost anywhere from 75 dollars to a 100 dollars. And don't get me started with the dinner before prom or the after party after prom.
