A Letter To The Impractical Jokers
Argus Leader

Dear Impractical Jokers,

Who knew that four friends from high school could bring so much joy to so many people. Starting as The Tenderloins comedy troupe, you have been making people smile and laugh for a long time, and I thank you for that. It is really hard to get so many people to bond over one common interest, but through the power of laughter, you have done just that.

You guys have gotten me through so much and were a constant light in my ever- changing world throughout middle school, high school, and soon, college. Even if I was having a week from hell, I could trust that for at least a half an hour on Thursdays, I would be given the chance to relax and laugh, and that prospective promise was enough to get me through the week.

I tuned in for your very first episode and am still following along now. I watched Q, Murr, and Sal get tattoos. I watched Murr get shot up with Novocaine and Joe fearlessly tackle each and every punishment given to him. I feel like part of your group (even if it's from the safety of my own couch), and that is really rare for a television show.

Fast forward to me going to my first show of your tour. It was absolute magic. I was watching the four friends on a real stage, right in front of me. My dad and I were star struck and laughing incredibly loud from our seats. It was one of the most fun nights of my life, and I cannot wait to go to another show in December.

I'm sure you hear stories on how much your show has impacted certain people, but your show actually brought me and one of my best friends together. The first ever time we hung out, we watched a three hour marathon of season two. We wrote Murr on Instagram and he answered (thanks, Murr)! We had so much fun and are still friends to this day. I have all of my interactions with you guys from Twitter and Instagram hanging in my room. You really have something special.

Your show makes the world seem a little funnier. My week gets a little brighter. In a time in my life of so much uncertainty, it is so comforting to rely on the routine that comes with watching your show.

So, thank you. Thank you for making such an amazing show and for working so hard even when you are not filming to keep up with such a strenuous schedule on the road. Thank you for making us laugh even when you may be too tired to function. Because even if you do not get to always see the effect your show has on people, trust me when I say it has at least reached me.

Here's to another laughter and fun filled five years!

Yours truly,

Your number one fan (Chloe)!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2366

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
