If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake

I'm putting my foot down. The imbalanced favorite-to-retweet ratio has to stop.

If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake

This is a public service announcement for those of you on Twitter who strictly favorite tweets and retweet something basically once a month.

First of all, you are a snake.

Who do you think you are to have to throw favorites around like a mad person but carefully curate your retweets when you haven’t made a tweet of your own since 2017. Your friends are out here spitting fire and you have the audacity to ignore its potential? You know when you finally get around to tweeting something that you would want them to throw you an RT. Come on, we are all out here trying to be the next yodel boy. That kid achieved all his dreams in a month and he hasn’t started high school yet!

When you favorite a tweet you are giving the equivalent to that pity chuckle you do when your friend says something kind of funny but you honestly weren’t really listening. You know exactly what I am talking about.

We can all agree that there is nothing worse thing than looking at one of your fire tweets and seeing 17 favorites and what’s that? Oh, it's two retweets. It doesn’t matter how many favorites that tweet gets, it moves down the Twitter feed slowly until it drifts into irrelevancy and can only be found by scroll stalking a profile page.

Twitter favorites are where tweets go to die.

Favorites are honestly just disrespectful.

If you are blessed with a friend who has a sense of humor and puts something out on twitter that is genuinely funny, don’t disrespect them. Retweet to save a life.

In all seriousness, though it could make someone’s day, favorites are like nothing now. They’re like pennies. Show some more love on Twitter, after all it's just Twitter no one cares.

If you want to start showing love now my handle is @HughstonTexas and I think I’m pretty funny.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
