Don't we all have this struggle with certain words?

13 Slang Words I Started Saying Ironically and Now I Can't Stop

I always say slang words as a joke or to be funny, but then I realize that I've actually integrated these words into my everyday vocabulary and now I can't stop. I don't know how I feel about this, but I do know that I am not the only person with this problem.

1. "Totes"

I totes hate that I say this word. I totes want to slap myself every time I say it. Every time I read the word "totes" I lose brain cells, but I still accidentally say it sometimes and I'm trying to stop.

2. "Dope"

Shoutout to my friends who make fun of me for saying "If you could ..., then that would be dope." Yeah, I don't know who I am now either or how I started using the word "dope" but here we are.

3. "Shade"

I actually love throwing shade though. I don't even hate that I say this word. It's a great word and an even greater pastime.

4. "Aesthetic"

Most people who say this word 1) don't say it correctly and/or 2) cannot spell it.

5. "Garbage"

"This is garbage" is easily one of my most used phrases. Can't find a parking spot? Garbage. Can't find your car keys? Garbage. Lost your debit card? 100% GARBAGE.

6. "Low key"

I high key hate that I say this multiple times a day. But I also low-key love it because I am low key.

7. "Fam"

I call everyone "fam." Please don't get offended or weirded out by this. If anything, you should be flattered by this. Example: "Thanks fam"

8. "Same"

It's just so much easier than saying "me too." Also, I am very relatable so I say "same" to a lot of things daily.

9. "Literally"

I can't stand that I'm part of the problem where people say literally but they don't mean literally. But, hey, at least I know the difference so I'm counting this as a win for me personally. Example: "I literally might starve to death"

10. "...or nah?"

If I end a question with "or nah?", 1) I apologize, 2) I'm trying stop, and 3) I know I shouldn't still have this in my vocabulary because it's not 2014 anymore. Example: "Are you going out tonight or nah?"

11. "bish whet"

The amount of times I type those words is embarrassing. I guess I'm just easily confused and I question people's judgment a lot hence the "bish whet" response you're probably going to get from me one day soon.

12. "bruh"

I love this word and I hate this word. This is my favorite word to say when I get annoyed at other people in traffic. Example: "bruh why did you cut me off"

13. "AF"

The reason I'm so annoyed at myself for saying this is that I say it out loud. It's understandable to type out "af" because who wants to type the whole thing? I certainly don't. Example: "I am tired af dude"

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
