"So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it, like maybe.."
-Phineas and Ferb

It's. Still. Winter.

The bitter cold is getting to the best of us and we've all had it. Admit it, you've contemplated booking a flight to a tropical island and never returning to avoid the tundra of winter..If you haven't, trust me, I have. However, sooner then you think it'll be sweet summer time. The first day it breaks 60 degrees you know you'll see car windows cranked down, girls in high rise shorts and boys skateboarding through the streets. With thoughts of warmer weather distracting us from our daily responsibilities, summer could not come sooner.

The best part of the summertime is grabbing your best friends and creating memories to last a lifetime. So why not start planning your summer adventures now?

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
