What Graduation Day Is Really Like, In GIFs

Caitlin Corsetti — Fri, 24 May 2013 16:39:08 +0000

Ahh graduation day! The day that marks the beginning of the rest of your life. You’re finally done with high school, and you’re moving on to the best years ever! Graduation is definitely bittersweet because you’re leaving behind so many close friends, but all of you are going to go do awesome things!

Graduation day gets a lot of hype because, well, it’s a big deal! But it’s not all excitement and rainbows and butterflies. I had really high expectations for my high school graduation, which luckily didn’t disappoint because there was a beach ball involved.

Here’s what graduation day is really like, in GIFs!

You wake up and realize it’s finally here!

You get ready.

Then you put on your cap and gown, and you realize you look kind of…

You meet up with all your friends at school.

At first you’re super excited.

But then an hour or so in, you start getting a little bored.

There are some inspirational speeches.

And you’re like blah, blah, journey, blah.

You’re starting to fall asleep.

But then someone trips walking up the stairs.

You finally get your diploma.

Then you have to wait for everyone else.

But FINALLY the last student gets their diploma, and you all throw your hats up!

And then reality sinks in.

It’s over.

At the graduation parties, people are asking what you’re going to do with your life.

Make this awesome frame to put your diploma in!

But that’s okay because it’s summer, and you have three months before college!

Painting My Nails Completely Ruins My Life

Caitlin Corsetti — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:28:50 +0000

Last night, I was sitting in my apartment binge-watching Felicity on Netflix and decided to I needed to paint my nails. But this was before I showered and washed the dishes and got ready for bed. I realized I made a colossal mistake since I had so much to do, and I was left helpless with wet nails.

You can’t do anything when your nails are wet! It’s awful. You can’t even pee! And they always take way longer to dry when you paint them compared to when you go to the nail salon.

Here’s why painting my nails totally ruins my life:

Everything starts out just peachy.

You successfully painted your nails perfectly.

But then you realized how much you have to do.

It’s okay, though. You can do this.

You have to walk around like so:

Source: teaandgiggles

You essentially can’t touch anything.

Source: huntingandhowling

You have to be super gentle.

You have to type very slowly.

Source: thewreckingball

Your friend asks you to hang out, and you’re just like:

Source: this-is-my-gif-folder

Forget about getting your pants on or off.

Source: foffmanagement

You have to get creative to scratch an itch.

Then you smudge a nail.

Source: Teen

So you try to chill out and fix it.

And you decide you’re not going to move until they’re totally dry.

Success!

LEGO Voldemort Goes Wand Shopping

Caitlin Corsetti — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:00:59 +0000

Obviously, we’re super into Harry Potter over here. Since there aren’t anymore books or movies, we’ll take anything we can get. (If you haven’t played the LEGO Harry Potter game yet, you should do so immediately.) Well, today we came across something so fetch I can’t even stand it. Brotherhood Workshop made a LEGO version of what would happen if Lord Voldemort went wand shopping. It’s probably my favorite video of the week.

What It’s Really Like When You Hear From An Ex, In GIFs

Caitlin Corsetti — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:36:27 +0000

It seems like every time you’re in a good place in your life or you’re happy in a new relationship that your ex will pop up out of nowhere to contact you. First of all, why do they do this? And second, how do they do this? Have they bugged us to alert them when we’re doing great so they can come in and mess things up?

And the interactions never go as you think they will. Even if you won the breakup, unwanted ex-interactions can be a pain. You think you’ll be okay, but old feelings can come up.

Let’s go through what you think it will be like to talk to your ex compared to what it’s actually like.

You’re minding your own business.

All happy being single.

Or in a new, healthy relationship.

And then all of a sudden, your ex contacts you.

You think it’s not a big deal.

Because you’re happy and secure in your life.

You think he has no influence over you anymore.

But you’re wrong.

He asks if you want to meet up and talk.

You don’t want to be mean, so you agree. You can handle it.

You’re totally cool about it. But then you see him, and you’re like:

FOMO Is Actually Super Terrifying

Caitlin Corsetti — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:00:57 +0000

We all know how much FOMO sucks, and it’s getting worse now that everything we do is shared on social media. It’s so sad to see your friends tweeting and Instagramming about fun things when you’re off somewhere by yourself. But FOMO is much more terrifying than you think! College Humor knows just how scary it is and proves it with this video for YouTube Comedy Week.

The 10 Best Thing About Being Tall, In GIFs

Caitlin Corsetti — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:51:09 +0000

Last week, I went over the worst things about being tall. I was over here like “Ugh I wish I were a smidge shorter.” And then I read Jessica’s post on things that suck about being short and realized that I’ve got it pretty good!

While there are some really sucky things about being a tall girl, there are also some great things. I mean, every feature has its benefits and letdowns, right? And so I’ve come to be easier on myself in terms of tall acceptance.

Here are 10 reasons why being tall is pretty awesome, in GIFs!

You can reach stuff.

YouTube Through History Shows Historical Figures As Funny YouTubers

Caitlin Corsetti — Tue, 21 May 2013 19:00:36 +0000

YouTube is a huge part of today’s online culture. I don’t think a day has gone by in the past several years that I haven’t watched a YouTube video. It really makes you wonder what would have happened if it had been around all throughout history. Fortunately, Above Average made a video of just that for YouTube’s Comedy Week! You get to see your favorite historical figures like Marie Antoinette and Cleopatra as if they were famous YouTubers!

10 Ideas For Inventions That Should Be Made

Jessica Booth — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:56:13 +0000

There are obviously a lot of cool things in this world, but there are still some ideas for inventions that should have been made, like, yesterday. I mean, sure, we’ve come a long way even from just when I was younger, but there are still a lot of things out there that can be improved upon, am I right?

As an example: charging our phones. Who has the time to let their dead phone charge for an hour when it dies in the middle of the day? Um, no one. Which is exactly why I’m obsessed with this invention that came from the coolest 18-year-old girl I haven’t met yet. Eesha Khare from Saratoga, California invented a supercapacitor that could possibly one day charge your phone battery in 20 to 30 seconds. Sorry, let me repeat that – 20 to 30 seconds. I need this invention in my life because honestly Candy Crush and Instagram are way too addicting for their own good. Eesha won $50,000 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and while her invention isn’t being used for phone batteries yet, it certainly has a lot of potential.

While we’re waiting for this amazing invention to be created, let’s talk about the other ideas for inventions that should be made. Come on, scientists… it’s 2013. Get yourselves together.

Nail Polish That Doesn't Need To Dry

I love doing my nails. I don't love waiting for my nail polish to dry. Seriously, this needs to be a thing ASAP.

Clothes That Don't Wrinkle Or Get Dirty

I can't count the amount of times I've conjured up the perfect outfit in my head, only to find out that all of the clothes I was going to use are either wrinkled beyond belief or need to be washed. This shows me that a) I am a messy person and b) clothes that don't wrinkle or need to be washed need to be invented.

Laptops That Don't Need WIFI To Go On The Internet

I would like to be able to get on the Internet without having to connect to WIFI, please. I think everyone would, so, let's get on this.

Hair Product That Makes Your Hair Straight Instantly

When I'm not embracing my naturally wavy/curly hair, I'm going against nature to make it straight and silky. This takes forever and is always messed up by the end of the day anyway. Can we just skip the hair straightners and just make a product we can spray into our hair that will instantly make it straight and frizz-free? Thanks.

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream That Has No Calories Or Sugar, Yet Is Still Delicious

Ice cream is hands down the best treat ever (please agree) and so it sucks that the best kind - Ben & Jerry's - comes along with about 1,000 calories (because who really eats only one 1/2 cup?). Can we just get calorie and sugar free ice cream that won't hurt my body and still tastes just as yummy?

The Food Machine From The Jetsons

How much easier would your life be if you could press a button and have the food you want ready in an instant? SO MUCH EASIER. Not to mention happier.

Pens That Don't Run Out Of Ink

Few things are annoying than reaching for a pen when you really need one, only to find out that it's out of ink. Or running out. Ugh. Never-ending ink needs to be a thing.

Remote Controls That Don't Require Batteries

Picture this: you grab some snacks, get nice and comfy in your bed with your pillows arranged just so and grab the remote to have a TV marathon... and then you realize the remote needs new batteries. Only you don't have any. Night ruined. Can we just have remotes that don't need batteries? Much appreciated.

Instant Crush-Finder-Outer

Want to know if your crush likes you back? Use this device and you won't even have to ask! Can you imagine how much better life would be?
