14 New Words for Your Vocabulary
Feedy Weedy

In a world filled with “turnt” and “swag,” it is always a bit refreshing when a new word enters my vocabulary. I stumbled upon these words while feeding my Pinterest addiction. Some are funny and some are serious. Some require a bit of explanation, while others simply require reflection. Enjoy!

1. Everyone needs one of these:

2. Quick! Turn around! Other way! Abort! Abort!

3. Probably 90 percent of us have felt this ... now we can voice it.

4. The smell of rain + this = happiness.

5. Holy goosebumps and the sound of perfect harmony:

6. Fake smiles are the saddest smiles.

7. *Face Palm* That would have been great four hours ago.

8. Ah, young love.

9. There is nothing better in the world than this:

10. There is nothing better than the sun on your back.

11. I absolutely love this ... ties into my first article!

12. Nothing better than a sunrise and a new day.

13. We are forever searching:

14. Otherwise known as the writers of the Odyssey!

mouse with a cookie

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself?
