10 Things I'm Not Here For

I can't.

Jun 20, 2016

As a human being, I like to keep an optimistic view in life. However, as a human being, I also sometimes hate everything.

In honor of those moments when I'd rather throw a temper tantrum than be a socially acceptable adult, here's a list 10 things I'm not here for.

1. Humidity.

I can't tell you how un-here I am for humidity. As a black, natural-haired being, humidity is simply disrepectful to my fresh twist-out and my layed edges. How dare you, humidity? I'm not here for you.

2. Ashy ankles.

No matter how many passes of the coco butter stick, you revert back to your 10-minutes-out-of-the-shower look. It's summer time and I want to wear sandals. How am I supposed to be fleeky if you keep betraying me like this? I'm not here for you.

3. Chlorine pools.

4. Literal early birds.

Have you ever been snuggly in your bed and had your dreams disrupted by these sky-demons? What's so important that you have to communicate at 4am? Is my bedroom window the hotspot for the latest aerial gossip? I'm really not here for that.

5. Reckless drivers

If you're a reckless driver and you're reading this, I hope you take the highest offense. You have no respect for my life or my fender and so I have no respect for your time. If you want to tailgate, I'll slow down. If you want to cut me off...well...there's not much I can do about that but you better believe I'm gonna wish upon you the flattest of tires as you zip by me because I'm not here for you.

6. Taking off my makeup at night.

I hate this. Why is life unfair? I wanna sleep beautiful. I want to wake up beautiful. I want to constantly be a queen. Why must I have to transform back into my gremlin state right before the most beautiful time of day: bedtime? I'm not here for that.

7. Bad kids.

If you're going to invite me over to your home and you happen to harbor two to five missing links, I'm not here for you or them. If your children come with a leash or a warning...we can't be friends.

8. Open coughers/ sneezers.

Let me explain: if you cough, sneeze, yawn etc. without covering your mouth I'm EXTRA not here for you. And there's a special level or not-here-ness for those of you who like to open-cough in enclosed areas (i.e the car or my personal space bubble).

9. That edgy guy.

I'm not here for you if you're that edgy guy in the comments. I'm sorry but you're not edgy or alternative you're bored with Internet access and enough brain power to understand what it means to play the devil's advocate. I cannot condone your shenanigans and will actively work to abolish your kind from the World Wide Web. May the fates be ever in your favor.

10. Chance the Rapper's ignorance of my existence.

I CAN NOT BE MORE UN-HERE FOR THE FACT STATED ABOVE. Honestly, Chance, what are you waiting for? We're clearly ships passing in the night, forbidden lovers, and every other tragic love scenario. Just educate yourself about my existence and come love me. I even managed to work you into this article, I'm serious about us. Call me.

I hope this list encourages you to express your anger and frustration in a positive way. Comment below some thing you are really not here for. ✌🏾️

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
