The Kitchen

So making this a game or having interesting responses will help you stay sane. Lets have some fun with this: here are the five typical questions college age adults will be asked and how you can answer or at least in your head.

College Life: As Told By Bob's Burgers

1) How's school?

I can guarantee this will be number one. How should one go about answering this?

"Oh schools great. I'm sane 1/3rd of the time, stressed and/or crying 1/3rd and hungry the other 1/3rd.I'm still passing though..hopefully.. oh hey Dad I got straight A's! Aunt Sally how's your car doing after you rer-ended that guy at a stop light?"


2) Are you seeing anyone?

Does tequila count?

"Ha ha ha. Yeah I met this one guy on tinder- I mean in class (don't want to explain tinder to old people) and we went on some dates (if you want to call it that because he didn't buy). Then he friend-zoned me, or I friend-zoned him. Either way it's just good ole' me! But, I'm so independent the last thing I need is for a man to complete me! How's the single life with cats, Aunt Gale? Any tips, suggestions?!"


3) What's tinder?

Oh boy.


"Tinder is just this app that like all young people have. You just kind of have it to have it ya know? You can meet new people, go on some crappy dates (but get free food),and get ghosted on all within a few short weeks! But, uncle Rick, how is "Farmers Only" working for you?"



4) How many more years of school do you have left?

Can this just be the one question I plead the fifth to?

"Well uhhh let's see: not all of my transfer credits met goal areas and I didn't meet specific requirements in time, so I have at least an extra semester. But, I really want to go abroad for a semester so add one more to that. So, the grand total is... Yeah we'll just go with 2- round down! How many more years of work do you have left? 15 more years until social security? Dang, that sucks!"


5) What are your plans after school?

L. O. L

"After I graduate I want to OBVIOUSLY get a job. Or, just lay in bed, sleep, and binge watch Netflix until I turn into mush. Actually, I guess I haven't thought that far... Aunt Elsa how's book club?"

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
