'Brexit' Creates Worldwide Trend; Panic Ensues

The new craze that's sweeping the globe!

'Brexit' Creates Worldwide Trend; Panic Ensues
The Millennium Report

In a new trend that's sweeping the world, countries are "Brexiting" at an alarming rate. This week alone, "Byegium," "Czech-out," "Latervia" and "Italeave" have declared their independence from the European Nation.

Sundar Pichai, God of Google, said that within 0.975 seconds after leaving voting centers, millions of citizens from these countries whipped out their phones and frantically googled, "what is the EU?" He mentioned that it seems to be a tradition, as per Brexit - vote first, research later.

So what does this all mean for the economy?

Nothing good, says the International Monetary Fund, a group of smart people who know a lot more about things than I do. They predict much uncertainty in the future of Britain's economy, and the continuation of the value decrease of the pound. Which is unfortunate, because the pound is very pretty and colorful and deserves to be valued.

The fate of the other countries who are Brexiting is yet to be determined.

David Cameron, former Prime Minister of the UK, has decided to hastily abandon ship from the now-tanking country. He's decided to move to his vacation home on Easter Island. Cameron was photographed this past Wednesday peeling away to the airport in a sweet-looking t-bird, yelling, "Bye, losers!" from the car window.

When asked what they're going to do with their now-failing economy, British citizens tended to cough nervously, tug on their shirt collars and offer me some tea and biscuits, but neglected to offer a straight answer.

The former King of Canada and Minister of Moose, Stephen Harper, couldn't help but scoff when he found out about the Brexit campaign. He thought it was funny how a country historically focused on consuming every other country is now, in fact, leaving a conglomeration of countries.

Right on, Stephen.

This wave of Brexiting very closely precedes the 4th of July. On which date, four score and 240 years ago, the United States of America declared their independence from Britain.

Hm.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
