11 Reasons Why BuzzFeed Should Hire Me
The Daily Dot

Hey BuzzFeed,

It’s me, Mariah. Just a small-town girl livin’ in a lonely world (thanks, Journey). I am an English major who has a passion for writing and humor. I have always been a hard worker, team player, and punctual. But, wait… Scratch that.


I could say I am all of those things like any monotonous stereotypical applicant would, but I am going to save your time and mine. Really, I am a 20-year-old college student in Washington pursuing my dreams of pulling all-nighters, perpetually missing the bus in the morning because I sleep through all of my alarms (#relatable, am I right?), and trying to avoid adulting as much as I possibly can.

In all honesty, I truly respect and admire the progressive work that you all do at BuzzFeed. How could someone not want to be a part of that kind of a community? Whether it’s BuzzFeed Video, BuzzFeed Food, BuzzFeed News, or BuzzFeed Animals, I am always a fan. And on that note, here is a list of just some of the reasons you should hire someone like me:

1. My friends call me... The Meme Queen.

Don't believe me? Well, click here (and here) to see for yourself. Whether it's finding memes or creating memes, I am the Queen. You're welcome.

2. I know how to find your friend's cousin's sister's boyfriend on Instagram, at record speed.

You've done it, I've done it, we've all done it. Social media stalking is a lifestyle, not just a hobby.

3. Kristen Wiig gives me purpose.

I know what you're thinking. Why would I even have to include this? Well, whether it's Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids, or any SNL skit ever, she never fails to put a smile on her audience's face. She is my idol, and always will be. I think that says a lot about who I am as an employee. #KristenWiigforPresident2016

4. Social Media is cool.

Being a content creator for Odyssey means becoming comfortable sharing my content on all social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, StumbleUpon... You name it. Whether it's making sure I have the perfect-yet-witty tweet or posting my Instagram picture at approximately 8:30 p.m. to get the most amount of likes, I ain't ashamed.

5. You could relaunch your entire platform with all the ideas in my noggin.

"10 Products That Are Worth Buying the Store Brand," "What Animal Are You Based On Your Zodiac Sign?" and "We Can Guess Your Favorite Spice Based On Where You Went To High School," and these are just to name a few. If you want more creative ideas, holla at your girl.

6. I can be anything you want want me to be.

You want me to be cheery? I can be cheery. You want me to be quiet as well sit in cubicles to edit our videos and quizzes? I can do that, too.

7. I am #relatable.

#blessup #anothaone #bye #relatablecontent

8. I thrive off of people asking me to do weird things that they wouldn't want to do themselves.

Did you say 'world's hottest hot sauce'? I'm in.

9. I instantly know someone's sitcom character before they take the quiz.

"Friends"? "How I Met Your Mother"? "Parks and Rec"? "The Office"? I have a sixth sense for matching people with their sitcom character.

10. The amount of times my friends have told me I would be a good fit for BuzzFeed is uncanny.

The people have spoken. Now it's your turn.

11. And lastly, I am already an expert in listicles (obviously).

I think this one speaks for itself...


Well, BuzzFeed, there you have it. Here are some of the reasons you should hire me to be a part of your team. If by some miracle you happen to see this and like what you see, please don’t hesitate to reach me at my kinda-but-not-so-embarrassing 90’s email that spells my middle name wrong: mariahmaggy@yahoo.com.

And to any of those who know someone at BuzzFeed, have connections, or just feel like helpin' a girl out, feel free to share this article and get me closer to reaching my (kind of) realistic dream of working with the BuzzFeed team.

Well, it was worth a shot.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
