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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
