Pinterest is the one site on the internet where you can spend literal hours and have an entire wedding planned with food, DIY decorations, and a workout regime included. Here are some common issues we all face when you are too addicted to Pinterest.


1. Why pay $5 for an item when you can spend $20 and make it yourself?

We usually counter this idea with the fact that whatever we are making will be of a higher quality and make more, but in the end we know we just wasted an extra $15 to see if it actually works.


2. People are so concerned about being Instagram worthy but in reality we just want to be Pinterest worthy.

Whether its a homemade recipe or an idea for a new DIY, you could care less about what your Instagram followers think about it. No, your Pinterest crew would appreciate this much more. So, you create a pin and wait for your creations to inspire others.


3. You realize how bad you are at makeup.

There are pins touting "easy makeup in 15 minutes" you try, you fail. Just how is their makeup looking so flawless in under 25 minutes? That's how long my eyeliner takes...


4. Pinterest fails are a very, very real thing.

You are dying to try a new recipe. You put said recipe into the oven expecting it to come out exactly like the picture, because obviously other people have been able to do this. You take it out of the oven, but alas, the cute little snowmen cookies have melded together to create one massive mess. Note to self: don't do this one again.


5. You are able to waste hours on this site.

Whether you are trying to avoid your family gatherings, or are looking for ideas to spice up your room, allow yourself a minimum of an hour. There are so many cool ideas that lead to others, which lead to even more. It is so easy to become lost in this site, use at your own risk!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

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?
