21 Ways to Improve your Coolness

Joke of the Week:

Q: What do you call a cow without legs?
A: Ground Beef!

Quote of the Week:

"A clean room is a sign of a broken computer."
     ~Tumbler

Prank of the Week:

Completely cover someone's porch with cupcakes.

If you want to be more cool, consider the following tips:

  • Use terms such as ¨bestie, ¨BFF¨, ¨BFFL¨, ¨fetch¨, and ¨perf¨.
  • Wear only what is 100% trendy.
  • Form cliques to show the world that your too cool for most of the people in it.
  • Never throw away your trash. It's not cool.
  • Make sure you have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Otherwise your popularity is a lost cause.
  • Take every opportunity you get to use profanity.
  • Cry whenever you see a puppy
  • Put up your Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving.
  • Never ever say, "Merry Christmas".  A simple "Happy Holidays" will demonstrate your maturity through political correctness, and this will remind everyone that you are better than them not only in your awesomeness.
  • Don't listen to classical music.  Stimulating your brain cells is severely nerdy, and doing well on the SAT is not for cool people.
  • Spend at least two hours a day on social media.
  • Whenever someone exercises their freedom of speech by sharing their political beliefs that contradict yours, simply report them to the highest authority on your campus, saying that they make you feel unsafe.
  • Use the term "bigot" or "hater" to describe anyone whose beliefs you don't understand.
  • Acknowledge the fact that you are not a kid.  Everyone under twelve is a kid.  At 14, you are not.
  • Never attend a party without your phone.  A good guest must communicate with their host and their fellow guests solely through Twitter, Tumbler, and texting.
  • Use your phone at the dinner table at home.
  • Eliminate class from your dress, your vocabulary, the music you listen to, and your taste in general.
  • Do not learn any Latin or Greek.  If you are rehabilitating from a deprived childhood full of scholarly languages, do your best to forget them.
  • Steer clear of classical literature, and fill your free time with novels such as The Hunger Games, Divergent, and other books that are actually in.
  • Do nothing that will develop your creativity or political philosophy.
  • Shun anyone who does not model these tips.  Having nerds like them in your life will injure your popularity.

Date Ideas for the Socially Distant

I have now been quarantined for well over a month, and I can finally say that I am settling into a routine.  For the first time in human history, everyone is workin from home, all students are homeschooled, and all relationships are long-distance.  But depending on your state's guidelines, you may be able to see each other in person, so long as you keep your standard 6 feet.  Is that still long distance, though? Seeing each other through a screen is better than nothing, but at a certain point, we miss face-to-face communication.  It just isn't the same when you can't hang out with your friend, neighbor, or significant other in the same room.  I have been using my thinking cap, and watching various couples and friends on social media, and I have compiled a few date ideas that are both social-distancing-friendly, and do not involve the use of electronics. Water balloons .  Start 6 feet apart, and see how much further you can go.  This works well on ...

What a Great Mind Looks Like

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."  These words are famously attributed to Elenor Roosevelt, wife of president Franklin D. Roosevelt, and first lady of the United States from 1933-1945.  Elenor was a classy and inspirational woman whom many, myself included, look up to.  But one might easily find her words condescending toward those interested in their friends and family.  Being very extroverted myself, I find other people to be one of my greatest interests!  Does this make me a small mind?  Well, Elenor Rosevelt cannot make me feel like a small mind without my consent, but let's talk about it! Some people are naturally interested in ideas, some in facts, and some in people.  Each of these interests comes with its own set of strengths and temptations.  People who are interested in other people often face a temptation to gossip, just as those interested in facts and ideas face temptations toward o...
