The Pick-Up Line Culture

I am personally a big fan of pick-up lines and I think they’re under-rated. Many times I hear guys say they want to approach a girl, but don’t have the courage to do so because they don’t know what to say. People say pick-up lines are cheesy. At times, yes they are. But they also serve as a superior mechanism for breaking the ice and getting a girl to laugh. In my opinion, they are the ultimate way to win a girl over (if done right). Why should you have to stress out about trying to make a good first impression, or making a good introduction, when you can just use one killer line? And this doesn’t just apply to men. Women can use the lines too and it'll make you stand out even more if you’re brave enough to do so. And hey, even if you get rejected, they’ll probably get a good laugh out of it! The greatness of it is the fact that most people know you don't mean the line literally and you're not just creepy... but have a good sense of humor!

Pick-up lines are commonly used in dating apps. Dating apps give you the ability to talk with so many different people at one time and it can definitely become boring, so sometimes you may like to spice it up a little. Pick-up lines are the perfect way to get rid of the boring -- usual “hey whatsup” or my favorite, just “hi.” But why is it not commonly used face-to-face? It is easy to hide behind a screen and be forward, but taking that brave step to use pick-up lines will help change the dating culture and scary stigma behind approaching someone you are attracted to. Whether it be at a bar, in class, or at the supermarket – I challenge you all to use a pick-up line next time you see someone you might be interested in. Here are a list of my favorites:

Do you have a map? Because I’m lost in your eyes.

Excuse me, are you related to my keyboard? Cause you’re just my type.

Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only ten I see.

Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven.

Are you tired? Cause you've been running through my mind all day.

Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears!

If you were a vegetable you’d be a cute-cumber.

Do you have a Band-Aid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.

Are you religious? Because you're the answer to all my prayers.

Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you I smile

I'm not a photographer, but I can picture me and you together.

Can I take your picture to prove to all my friends that angels do exist?

Are you a banana? Because I find you a-peeling.

Do you work at Starbucks? Because I like you a latte.

Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Oh wait, it's just a sparkle.

AND the ultimate best….

I seem to have lost my number. Can I have yours?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
