Square Space

True crime has become increasingly popular these days with TV specials about the O.J. Simpson murder case and documentaries about the JonBenét Ramsey murder. If you are at all interested in the world of true crime than you should undoubtedly be listening to the hilarious podcast "My Favorite Murder". This podcast is run by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, who each week talk about a favorite murder of theirs and manage to inject a massive amount of humor into a dark subject matter. In addition to their regular episodes, they have also made mini episodes where they read hometown murders submitted by their fans. If this hasn't enticed you to become a murderino then continue reading even more reasons you should listen to the podcast.

1. You will receive expert advice on how to stay sexy and not get murdered

Each week Karen and Georgia try to help their listeners by giving them advice on how to not get murdered. Past advice includes staying out of the forest and pepper spraying first and asking questions later.

2. You will brush up on your geography skills.

Karen and Georgia are seriously lacking in the geography knowledge and will be the first ones to admit that. Their obliviousness as to which state is next to Kansas, for example, will have you in stitches.

3. You'll learn quickly if you're a Karen or a Georgia.

The two hosts are so different and you will surely identify with one. Even if you can't figure it out yourself, there's a quiz that can do it for you: https://www.buzzfeed.com/mvr30/mfm-fans-are-you-a-....

4. You will instantly be a apart of a community among fellow murderinos.

Fans of the podcast are known as murderinos. There is a Facebook group where all the murderinos can discuss various murders and theories. In fact there have even been meet ups for murderinos where the drinks listed above were served.

5. You will discover which type of crime that you are specifically interested in.

For example, Karen is a big fan of survival stories, where people survive absolutely insane circumstances while Georgia loves a good cold case or crime of passion. Everyone has a specific preference when it comes to crime.

6. You will appreciate their honest and open conversation about mental health.

Karen and Georgia both talk about their mental health on the podcast. They talk about the importance of therapy and make it apparent that people should be comfortable with their mental health.

7. You will actually learn about interesting crimes and the law.

Of course Karen and Georgia talk about the biggies like John Wayne Gacey and Ted Bundy, but they also cover lesser known murders and crimes like the Texas Eyeball Killer and the Somerton Man. In telling the stories of the crimes they actually educate you on some laws and their origins.

8. You will fall in love with Elvis.

Elvis is one of Georgia's two cats, but he really steals the show. After each episode he is asked if he wants a cookie and he always responds with an enthusiastic meow. He is truly a gift.

And with that I hope that you start listening to this amazing podcast. Stay sexy and don't get murdered.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
