A Letter To BuzzFeed

What would the internet be without you?

A Letter To BuzzFeed
Huffington Post

Dear BuzzFeed,

First off I want to say thank you for roping me in with your quizzes, weird but intriguing articles, and hilarious videos. You have provided me with another way to procrastinate on homework. It takes a special kind of website to do that for me and congratulations, you are that special kind. I really don’t know what I would do without you. Oh wait, yes I do…I would do more homework and studying. But that’s boring and you’ve saved me, and many others, from eternal boredom. Give yourselves a pat on the back for that one.

But seriously, what would this generation do without BuzzFeed? We would never know what Starbucks drink we are based on our zodiac sign. We would never know whether our opinions about hot guys was popular or not. We would never know our personality based on our taste in music. Some serious questions would go totally unanswered for our generation. So thank you again BuzzFeed for solving life's most pressing mysteries and continuing to answer our many questions.

BuzzFeed isn't just about the quizzes we have all spent way too long (possibly hours...) taking. Yes, I am guilty of that and I'll fully admit it. BuzzFeed is also about sharing opinions and getting different outlooks on current trends or events. Though it might not be the most credible news source, it provides a heck of a lot more entertainment than the "more credible" news sources like CNN, MSNBC, and FOX. BuzzFeed adds some flare into the news cycle and for that I am thankful.

And don't even get me started on the BuzzFeed videos that I love to indulge in. These range from a group of guys trying new and bizarre things (The Try Guys) to How-To recipe videos (Tasty) to a guy getting drunk and ranting about various topics (Whine About It). BuzzFeed gives me hope that maybe one day my job could be to get drunk on wine and complain while getting paid.

BuzzFeed has become a worldwide phenomenon that can turn anything into a trend or turn an average person into an internet sensation. They are a magical company that brings joy and laughter to the internet even during dark times. BuzzFeed may not always be taken seriously, but it should be. They are more powerful than it may appear and they deserve endless appreciation. Thank you BuzzFeed for always staying true to who you are and for consistently putting a smile on my face. I can always count on you when I need to procrastinate for a mid-term or just need a good laugh.

With lots of love and even more laughter,

Your #1 fan

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

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.
