2017 Was The The Year Of Shooting Your Shot

Who's going to make the first move?

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, it's almost December which means it's the end of the year of "shoot your shot". 2017 was the year that started the whole trend of women and men making the ~bold~ first move as it has now become the new norm.

For those who don't exactly know what "shoot your shot" is, instead of hinting or giving clues that they like someone-they go for it full force. Throughout the world of Twitter, we've seen success stories of women and men who have gone on a whim and have straight up told someone how they feel about them- no likes, no retweets.

In some cases, shooting your shot can lead to other things. Being subtle isn't always produce the results you want. As my friend's biology grade was slipping, she realized she needed some help.

She gets a tutor, who she falls for and asks out on a date. He says yes, asking if it really is necessary because he didn't mind helping her. They go on a date, and everything goes well. Except he didn't realize it was a date. So in that case, being much more to the point would help, a lot.

Whether it's a Twitter DM, your math tutor, or even just someone who's caught your eye, you should make that first move in saying what you want. Just remember to say exactly what you want.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
