10 Things That Have Been Ruined By A Hipster Near You

They are the worst.

10 Things That Have Been Ruined By A Hipster Near You
WilderUtopia

You didn't ask for it, but here it is anyway. Definitive proof that hipsters are taking over and ruining everything. Below are examples of things that have been taken from us by those elusive, typewriter using, trendsetters. Beware!

1. Bars/Cafés

Shoreditch may be far away (London) but this bar that serves only cereal for inflated prices could become a reality here too. Why? Who goes out on the town in search of cereal?

2. Guacamole

Just, why? Kale doesn't need to be in everything. Don't mess with a perfect food!

3. Ice cream

These foods do not 'detox' you, and are certainly not tasty. No thank you to kale, cayenne pepper, and spinach in my ice cream. My ice cream!

4. Water

Actually just a bottle of water with some asparagus in it. For $6!! You could but water and asparagus separately for the price of this. Is it even tasty? Why Wholefoods, why?!

5. Lunch

Yes, lunch has now been ruined. Because why use a plate when you could use a dustpan... AND BRUSH?!

6. Festivals

Exhibit Coachella, where the worst people go to appropriate any and all cultures they can think of whilst dancing to increasingly sub-par musical acts. Why ruin festivals? Nobody should be wearing faux Native American headdresses and gushing over this band you've never heard of who only record music made my tiny bacon eating mice. Stop.

7. Mason Jars

Shoutout to all the grandparents who used them unironically. Remember when not everything was served to you in a mason jar? Remember regular glasses? Drink prices being raised just because they are served in a jar that is honestly impractically sized. They used to be cute, now they're beyond basic.

8. Coffee

No longer a simple latte or *gasp* regular cup of coffee, the options are endless and overpriced. Cold brew, Sivet cat poop coffee, heat-surfing, pre-infusion profiling, tamp-dialing... What do those words even mean. Give me the coffee hot, strong, and under $3 please. (Sidenote, I'm a big fan of the move away from coffee corporations though)

9. Glasses

Because specs aren't just for the vision impaired anymore. Why not buy some lens free frames, or ironic nerd glasses that go well with beards, lumberjack shirts, and topknots (another sidenote, in the spirit of honesty I often wear my hair in a topknot)

10. Bacon

Need I say more? Not everything needs to be bacon.

Let's have a real throwback, not to typewriters, but to a time where not everything needed to be coated in 17 layers of irony. When you could just like something without having to make it a joke. Bitter cynicism aside, hipsters are honestly the worst youth counter-culture movement we have seen in a while. Like what you like but don't make the things you like too expensive for regular people. Don't gentrify everything I like and ruin it. I make these anti-hipster jokes aware that a lot of these trends are appropriative and elitist. A lot of people can't afford to continue to live in neighbourhoods filled with hipster retaurants, serving lunch in a dumpster (true story). Let's stop this nonsense and eat food at a table, not in the trash.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
