Why I Hate People Who Vape

I literally hate people that vape. Honestly, I’d rather see you smoking a cigarette because at least there is a cool factor associated with it.

Have you ever seen the people who vape? They’re the sweaty guys that walk around malls in wife-beaters and may be suffering from pre-mature balding. They’re the women who wear brightly colored animal print pregnancy tops and heeled flip-flops. They're the boys at your gym with giant shoulder tattoos trying to compensate for being irrelevant in high school. People that vape are like vegetarians, all they want to do is tell you about how vaping saved their lives. These are not the people you want in your life.

First off, there is nothing cool about vaping. You’re not smoking weed, you’re not smoking a cigarette; you’re smoking chemical air out of an ugly plastic tube you probably bought at a stand in the mall.

Many studies have shown that vaping is not actually healthier and contains just as many unknown chemicals as cigarettes do. Vape websites even admit that vaping is not healthier. FYI -- you haven’t stopped smoking, you’re just inhaling different chemicals. If you’re not strong enough to quit cigarette smoking all together, then don’t think you're doing yourself a favor by smoking a vape.

Then there is the argument that vaping saves so much money, to which I say, quitting and chewing Nicorette gum for a year is even cheaper in the end.

Many e-cigarette websites also credited vaping to being more sociable. Wrong. Have you ever been to a club and seen a group of people happily enjoying life while vaping? No! Have you ever been out to dinner and seen a group of important businessmen making a deal over Vapes? No! There is nothing social about it because no one is going to want to hang out with you if you smoke an e-cig. I would rather be covered in three layers of cigarette smoke than talk to someone about to put a vape pen in their mouth.

As you can see, there is literally no benefit to vaping unless you want to lower your social status. I appreciate vaping for being better for the environment and not causing secondhand smoke, but I do not appreciate having secondhand embarrassment from a plastic e-cigarette hanging out of your mouth. You’re not doing your body a favor, so might as well do society a favor and stop looking like a major douche bag.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
