10 Emojis Your Parents Always Use Wrong

1. The Winky Face:

To all the clueless parents out there, winky faces are NOT just a cute thing you can send. You know who people send the winky face to? People they wanna bang. I will admit, this applies more the original non-emoji winky face. However, the connotation is still there people!


2. The Heart Eyes:

Ok Mom, I know you love these but they must be used sparingly. The heart eyes are a reaction to something awesome or cute or amazing! Writing, "Are you gonna be home for dinner *insert emoji here* ?" is not the right context!

3. Nature Emojis:

I don't personally have this issue, but I have multiple friends whose fathers put nature/weather emojis in ordinary conversations. Sorry pops, but the tidal wave has nothing to do with whether I took out the garbage.

4. The 100 Sign:

Ok, I know this is very pop culture, but the 100 sign is NOT to be used at random intervals! WHY do parents use this randomly? WHY?

5. Heart(s):

Moms/Aunts/Grandmas love everything. I know you do. You love all my social media, and I appreciate that. But it's okay to not use five hearts though, alright?

6. Peace Sign:

No, this does not mean number two.

7. Confetti:

Again, with the loving everything. I know you're really excited about whatever we're discussing, but the confetti is NOT for when you fill up the gas tank.

8. "Praise" Hands:

No, no the hands aren't throwing anything or pushing anything up.

9. Praying Hands:

Again, not actual prayer. The whole "praise" and "bless" thing is generational, but I promise these emojis aren't as literal as you think!

10. Tongue:

GOD NO MOM PLEASE DON'T USE THAT EW.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
