Glad this was written because some of these things need to be said. Some key points that I’ll point out that have worked out well for me as a recent post grad working in a city where I hardly know many people:
– Stay away from the social media. The only time people post on there anyways is whenever they’re doing something awesome or really fun. It’s not a direct reflection of the very real day-to-day life any normal person is living.
– Cooking is key. There’s hardly anything that’s more satisfying and enjoyable than preparing a delectable meal for yourself. As much as I love Chipotle, try and make your own bowl some time: grill the steak, use fresh veggies, prep your own rice and beans, and make some homemade guac. You won’t regret it.
– Take up a hobby that is both useful and something you enjoy. I’ve recently been getting into woodworking. I’m hoping that by the time I start a family and own a home, I’ll be able to furnish much of it with homemade pieces. When we have guests come over, I’ll be able to say, “That chair you’re sitting in? Yeah, I made that shit with my bare hands.” Plus, there’s something truly transcendent about spending a Saturday in the garage with a cooler full of CB, some Avett Bros or Strait on the speakers, and the fresh smell of cut wood.
Chicks dig dudes who can do more than hit up the bars and get shitfaced every Friday & Saturday night. You’ll feel better about yourself, become a better man for it, and increase your stock price by taking a break from the bar scene every once in awhile.
I think she’s still fairly new to the prospect of exerting more physical energy than is minimally required as a means of healthy living and fitness. This is further evidenced by her column concerning people who post pictures of their runs onto Instagram/social media.
This person storms social media to let all of their “friends” know that they’ve just been “published,” again, on some cringe-worthy millennial website. When asked by others what they do for a living, they don’t even hesitate to explain how they’re a content creator who’s “pursuing her passion for writing by following a non-traditional career path.” Ironically, they write about things like “How To Get Drunk Alone” and “10 Reasons I’m Violently Single,” and yet can’t understand why men don’t pursue her. She imbues everyday occurrences with wanton emotional significance, and expects people to be awed by her “creativity.” For some insane reason she believes that contributing to websites such as Thought Catalog and Elite Daily legitimizes her position as a writer who demands a certain level of respect, when in reality her online audience is laughing at her insolence.
Whoa easy there herky90, don’t get ahead of yourself — I know Kendra has claimed that she’s written for BuzzFeed, but I’ve never seen any proof to back that allegation. Let’s not give credit where credit isn’t due.
I’m actually fascinated by the Golden-Doodle craze that’s going on. My brother’s girlfriend spent $2,500 on one. My Border Collie is 100-times smarter and better than that dog in every way, and I got her for $100 from a farm.
As a straight guy who doesn’t pay attention to these types of things, I’m wondering: does Spieth actually have the “best butt?” Don’t get me wrong, the guy is a prodigy…but I’ve never really equated him to being overly attractive and fit.

So many, incorrectly, placed commas, Kendra.
Puppy and Victoria’s Secret Models = the only two types of accounts you need to follow.
Would You Rather:
Read yet another “woe is me, my life is so sad” Kendra article?
or
Make the intern pry your eyeballs from your skull with the dirty fork that’s been in the sink for two weeks?

Burn.
“As a Bucs fan…”
I’m so sorry.

The image of you eating shredded cheese straight out of the bag is hilarious.
Not in a “super fun ‘n’ quirky” way, but more “sad and pathetic.”
I knew you had authored this before even looking at the byline.
I don’t know, intelligence is the new sexy and I don’t think this chick is very “sexy.”
Taking a girl on a Tinder date *after* the one-night stand? I have much to learn from you, Will.

“…was on sale this week (with your rewards card) for $17,”
Bingo. Anytime I see that yellow tag indicating a lower price for cardholders, I’m sold. Even if it’s something that’s not even on my list.
Foosball is child’s play. I won’t be able to shake the old broads off me once I become the Shuffleboard King at Shady Palm Yacht & Country Club.
Which is more chill: #VacationWill or #RetiredWill?
Oh snap.

It must be that sweet, sweet golf pro money.
You like being a hipster, I like having a steady job. To each their own I suppose.
