Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

Most of us change quite a bit between our high school years and what would be considered adulthood.

We're going to say "most" because we all know/know of that person who peaked in high school and just can't seem to let the glory days go.

This article will not resonate with that "peaked in high school" person ... like at all.

Hashtag Roundup asked Twitter users to do some reminiscing - they wanted us to take it back to high school (for some of us that's waaaaaaaay back, so take your time thinking) and then compare high school us to Adult us.

How are we different? How are we the same?

If you went to high school in the 90's and you were on trend - did your eyebrows ever grow back?

No shade, 90's fam...

GIPHY

Anyway, the roundup was pretty popular, and brought a few things to light.

Firstly, high school self is not our best, guys. We were kind of messy - but the glow ups we had when we stopped worrying so much ... WOW!

Secondly, we appear to be quite disillusioned with pants... just as a concept, ya know?

And thirdly, resting is magical and people want more of it.

Seriously, we feel so deeply represented by these responses.











Some things never change, though...





#SAME, fam, same.

Duolingo Has Hilarious Reaction To TikTok Users Learning Mandarin To Join Chinese App

Duolingo shaded social media users when the language app saw a spike in TikTok users' sudden interest in learning Mandarin to maximize their engagement on RedNote, a newer short-form video app from China natively known as Xiaohongshu.

The mass exodus to RedNote, China's answer to Instagram, comes in advance of the potential ban of TikTok in the U.S. prompted by increased national security concerns about users' data being compromised and vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Coca-Cola Blasted After Honoring Trump With Personalized Diet Coke Bottle For His Inauguration

The Coca-Cola company was widely criticized after James Quincey, its Chairman and CEO, presented President-elect Donald Trump with a Diet Coke bottle commemorating his upcoming inauguration.

The label on the bottle displayed Trump’s name, the date of his anticipated second inauguration, and an image of the White House. Trump is known to be a big fan of Diet Coke—he reportedly drinks 12 bottles per day—and he had an Oval Office button that aided in the delivery of the soda during his first presidency.
