I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was in high school, my friend had been screaming and giggling and covering her eyes in shock and disgust when the piano music crescendoed.

Fashion (or FASHUN) gives people the ability to express themselves creatively through design and color, it keeps us clothed and entertained, and it’s hella fun and easy to judge.

When you think of finding “the one,” you usually suspect that they’ll share the same core values as you, that they’ll make you feel all tingly inside, that the sex is out of this world, and you can’t imagine your life without them. Getting to marry your soulmate might seem like the be-all and end-all, […] More
Whether you’re sending nudes, keeping up with your best friends’ daily activities, or merely living your best life on social media — Snapchat has forever changed the way people communicate.

Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel like you got hit by a truck? It’s particularly odd because you didn’t even drink the night before, but your body aches and creaks like that of a 95 year old. You’re falling apart and only 25 years old. This sh*t shouldn’t be happening to […] More
