Reasons Why You Sound Like An Idiot

Hey Fam, Ur Lit, don't ever stop slayin' (fire emoji).

Reasons Why You Sound Like An Idiot

My name is Erin, I'm 23 going on 87. I like my wine and my bedtime is approximately 10 p.m. Snap Chat is annoying and I constantly have to ask others what things mean - I text my roommate daily to find learn new slang terms. Maybe I just don’t understand, or I am behind the times, but when you use the following terms I have no idea what you mean. And most likely, so does no one else. Please, do us all a favor and remove the following from your vocabulary. Also, I know some of these aren't sayings but just play along.

1. Fleek.

WTF does this even mean??? Congrats that you colored in your eyebrows. Are you proud of anything else going on in your life?

2. Lit.

NO. Just don’t ever say this. Literally EVER. Your Fam is not lit, neither was the frat party, or your trip to Vegas with your parents. The only thing that is lit is the match you see above...

3. Toasted.

Like you're toasty warm? You want to become toasty like a s'more? Is this a verb, noun, or an adjective? I'm confused.

3. Low-key.

Do we also say high-key? Why are you low-key kind of upset? Just kidding, don’t answer that. Also, how do you spell that? Dash or no dash?

4. Fire Emoji.

Are you at a bonfire? Then please stop.

5. Dope.

This wasn’t cool in 2010 and it’s not cool now so just do us all a favor and stop using it.

6. Juice?

I heard this in a song. It either means, a) you would like some orange juice or b) most likely something very illegal. Either way it sounds stupid, so you should probably never use it in real life (IRL).

7. Hit.

As in, “did they hit?” . That’s what this means and you sound disgusting while saying it.

8. When you stand on one leg in EVERY photo.

Are you a flamingo? If so, continue. If not, STOP IT! This is cute in some photos, but girl, change it up every now and then with your poses.

9. Slay.

You should only be allowed to say this when referring to Beyoncé. No one else is worthy.

10. Fam/Squad

The only acceptable time to use Fam is if you refer to the same “Fam” every time you use it. Not everyone is “Fam” and don’t call me “Fam” either. Squad is only acceptable if you're Taylor Swift or if you are actually a part of her girl squad

11. When you “boyfriend” pose with literally every guy that you take a photo with.

You know, when you have you hand on his chest. This is fine, this is cute. But it's only cute when you do it with your boyfriend. When you pose like this with EVERY guy that you take a picture with you look desperate. Also, I should be able to tell the difference between your boyfriend, your brother, your dad, and your guy friends. Stop hanging all over everyone.

Please stop saying and doing all of these ridiculous things, and see how your life will benefit from it! Trust me, we will all thank you for it!

P.S. I'll work on keeping up with the hip lingo and pushing my bed time back to 10:30.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
