Since You're Too Pathetic To Come Up With One Yourself

6 New Years Resolutions For The Hopeless Individual

2016 is inching closer and closer to us like the lackadaisical crawl of death, but instead of trying to make your future any brighter or contributing meaningfully to even the most diminutive facet of known existence, you've gone and fell victim to another clickbait article on the internet. Congratulations, you execrable human catastrophe you. You’re here because you’ve managed to evade the duty of natural selection against all odds, and yet still can’t seem to muster up even a single word to live by for the next year of this incredibly protracted rat race. Since I’m candidly the bigger person here, I’ve laid out a plethora of resolutions you should recite to yourself several times each day of the next year in the hopes that you’ll abide by them and alter your deplorable lifestyle. Let’s get right down to it, you miserable oaf.

1.) “I will stop calling my food ‘mother mush’ before I shovel it into my grotesque maw with a ladle”

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your terribly inept ways of social interaction. This behavior needs to stop at once. You’re hurting your poor mother’s feelings. More often than not, she feels put down by the comparison to otherwise enjoyable sustenance. To add insult to injury, you always use her favorite Rocky themed ladle to throw it down your gullet like a viscous Shop-Vac. Just stop.

2.) “I will finally donate my collection of mediocre comedian Jeff Dunham DVD’s”

You have 18 copies of Minding The Monsters and counting. Enough is enough. It’s time to retire this nauseating hobby and give to someone in need for a change. There are middle schoolers in need of cheap entertainment.

3.) “I will purchase a copy of Richard Simmons’ autobiography”

Still Hungry After All These Years: My Story is a novel that every sensible individual has read at least once in their lifetimes. Richard Simmons is an absolute treasure and his eccentric personality shines through his words. In short, he’s the polar opposite of you. You can learn a wealth of knowledge from such a delightful man.

4.) “I will avoid people named Trevor”

This one speaks for itself.

5.) “I will end every sentence with ‘hear me, for I have spoken’”

In order to garner a sense of respect, assert your authority by proclaiming that you have indeed utilized your vocal chords to their fullest potential to produce words in the language of your choosing. This is a sure fire way to get people to listen to your dreadful “out-loud” thoughts.

6.) “I will give up my dream of becoming a part-time duckling slapper”

You wish to cause physical harm to innocent creatures for quick money because you are a despicable human being. Your putrid influence on these creatures is what causes these somewhat adorable aves to metastasize into absolute nightmares. Please abandon all hope of this goal for the greater good

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
