15 Clapbacks That Tell The World How You Really Feel

We have all had that moment. You know, the one where someone cuts you off in traffic or makes a snarky comment to your face. You want to get them back. You want to be mean. You may even want to curse.

Friends, there is a better way.

Don't resort to the over-used phrases or language other angry human beings across the nation use every day. Do you really want to resort to being one of the million people partaking in the f-bomb phenomenon? No, you can do better. Here are a few original phrases to keep in mind the next time you want your anger to truly show while saving face:

1. I hope you step on a Lego

A classic line, but it never grows old. I mean, seriously, do you realize how much those little blocks hurt?

2. I hope the show your binge-watching gets taken off of Netflix when you're halfway through the series

There is nothing worse than getting hooked on "One Tree Hill" less than a week before it is taken off of Netflix. I still wonder what ever became of Haley and Nathan...

3. I hope your computer decides to update when you are in the middle of an online assignment that doesn't automatically save your progress

We have all had that moment during the breakthrough of an essay when your laptop makes that dying turtle sound and announces it will be updating for the first time in three months, leaving approximately 52 hours before you can even look at your paper again.

4. I hope your Webkinz dies from loneliness after the seven years you went without logging on

Has anyone checked on their Webkinz pets recently? Moment of silence for all those forgotten...

5. I hope someone spoils the new Star Wars before you get to see it

media1.tenor.com

All you Star Wars fanatics out there, I see you, I respect you, and I know I would be better off revealing top secret information than telling any of you what happens in the next installment of the series. On another note, Han Solo died and I am ready to start talking about it.

6. I hope you enter your room and can't remember why you went in there for a solid ten minutes

Let's face it. You won't remember what you walked into the room for until you are falling asleep at midnight, by which point you are far too lazy to do the thing you should have done earlier.

7. I hope you step in a puddle and have wet socks for the rest of the day

Rainy days on campus are always a risk when you refuse to slip on your rain boots. The only worse thing than wet socks is when the cuffs of your jeans get wet too.

8. I hope water sprays you in the eye when you are rinsing off your spoon in the sink

media.giphy.com

Surely I am not the only one who has been temporarily blinded by dishwater while attempting to clean a serving spoon.

9. I hope the person next to you on a plane takes his or her shoes off as soon as the flight begins

To the people who think it is acceptable to take their shoes off in public, you know what you are doing, and you know it is wrong. Stop.

10. I hope the handle of your spoon falls into your soup after the first bite

Giphy

What a great joy to finish the rest of your meal with food on the handle of your only utensil. Bonus points if it happens while you are eating a meal with people you do not know well.

11. I hope the same song comes on the radio every time you get in the car

You know that one song you hear every single time you turn on the radio? You are tired of it, but you know every lyric by heart, and you have it in your head more than your own thoughts.

12. I hope the sunburn you get at the beach this summer never turns into a tan and peels for a solid week

media.giphy.com

Oh, this sunburn isn't too bad. I'll just put some aloe on it and wait for it to turn into a nice tan. How funny. You thought!

13. I hope you accidentally like a photo of your crush when you are five years deep into his or her Instagram feed

Giphy

I have had actual nightmares about accidentally liking a post my crush's ex-girlfriend from middle school tagged him in on a Facebook account that I'm not even sure she knows the password to anymore.

14. I hope your phone dies right before you plug it in

assets.rbl.ms

We all know that moment of truth when your phone shows the dangerous 1% and you are forced to sprint across the room, hurtle across a chair, push your little sister out of the way, and scramble for the charger. Do you really want to do all that in vain?

15. I hope you hit your ankle on a Razor scooter

Giphy

Arguably worse than stepping on a Lego, the ankle-hit by the Razor scooter has been a dreaded across by all, young and old. Not only does it result in excruciating pain, but also embarrassment and a subconscious fear of the scooter that lasts into adulthood.

So next time you feel the need to let out your anger in one of those unclassy, yet oh-so-overused, ways, consider one of these. You will not be disappointed.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
