Remember the undersized, possibly sociopath wannabe-king from the first Shrek movie? Don't you ever forget about Lord Farquaad. We love the Farquaad. Sadly he disappeared from the franchise after the first movie but the word is that he is in Shrek 3D. Unfortunately I'm not sure that any of us watched that so we'll just remember him from the first Shrek.

In an attempt to become the king of the Shrek universe, Farquaad hatches a plan to marry Princess Fiona once she is rescued from a castle that's being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. He needs to marry Fiona because, in order for him to ascend to the regal throne, he must marry a princess.

But Farquaad is a smart man and much more a lover than a fighter so, instead of risking his own life, he strikes up a deal with the lovable ogre Shrek and his sidekick Donkey to get Fiona for him. Long story short Farquaad offers Shrek a favor if Shrek and Donkey venture to the castle to rescue Fiona for the half-pint Lord.

Of course his plan to marry Fiona fails because he turns out to be a pretty sucky dude and the moral code of the Shrek universe will not let someone like Farquaad prevail. Fiona turns out to be a part-time ogre, and Shrek ends up crashing the wedding to keep Farquaad from marrying Fiona and becoming king.


But we love Lord Farquaad for being so unapologetically evil and also having an adorable haircut. Even though Farquaad ends up being the main bad guy in the first Shrek he's got a place in our hearts forever. <3 u booboo.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
