Bringing Back That Old Feeling: Howard Homecoming 2017 Street Fashion

Howard University is not voted one of the best well-dresesed schools on the planet for nothing. This year’s Howard Homecoming 2017 brought killer looks mixing 90s hip-hop style, a little punk, Afrocentricity, and cozy vibes. Most looks consisted of the ever-prevalent fanny pack, dope sunglasses, curly fros, ombre dyes or bald styled hair. Take a look at some of the best dressed from #theREALHU:…

4 Ways Snapchat + IG Stories Improved Dating

1. It Promotes Flirting Because Messages Don’t Last Forever

Sometimes it’s hard to just DM someone for the fear of rejection or just shyness. It’s easier to shoot your shot when the messages don’t last forever and you can just move on with your life if it doesn’t work out.

2. DM’ing on Snapchat is Less Formal Than Any Other App

The ability to comment on video and photos is more fluid and less formal, prompting more conversation. You can give quick lighthearted, witty comments here and there, which can create a rapport- because as the name implies SnapCHAT encourages messaging others. This is the biggest difference between Twitter and what IG used to be, because sliding in the DMs wasn’t encouraged, which usually meant you were taking a risk or really were putting yourself out there.

3. You Can Get Raunchy Because Photo or Video Messages Can Only Be Viewed 2x

Infinite is what scares most from sending sexy messages that they feel in the moment. The possibility for it to be shared or just the prospect of someone having a condemning photo for eternity is enough for a person to say, “I can show you better in person”. The statement technological blue balls were conceived from. Now there’s a time limit on the sexy.

4. No Screenshotting for Cornballs Out There

You’re notified when the other person breaks the trust and tries to screenshot. Now if your sending unsolicited peen pics you should be screenshotted and blasted across cyber space, that’s what cornballs and weirdos do. However, if you are just being normal and trying to shoot your shot like a gentleman, a lady wouldn’t put you out there on front street- she would either kindly accept or reject your advances.

5. SUNK Swag: Have The Person You’re Dating Create an Uncensored Snapchat for You and Only for You

Quite possibly one of the best ideas I’ve had in my freaky adult life. I was dating a woman that was turned on by instruction and tasks, so I thought to myself why not create somewhat of a fantasy world for her and I, where only we lived. It made it possible for her to send me the most x-rated of photos and videos because they wouldn’t live forever, as well as it was surprise because I was no longer soliciting the interactions. I’d just be scrolling and see the name or symbols I’d given her and a snap specifically for me. Some vids/pics were her dressed scantily, traveling, maybe a book she  was reading at the time or even just videos of her playing in the nude. Regardless, at what video it was at any particular time- it was immersive for us both.

Has Snapchat improved or hindered dating and meeting new people? Have you ever met someone from Snapchat? How did it turn out? Are you opposed to people sliding into your DMs?

Dating, Friendships, New Apartment: How to Measure Their Worth?

Dating, Friendships, New Apartment: How to Measure Their Worth?

I met someone recently whose company I did enjoy, however not too far into our friendship we began to argue about things that seemed neither one of us would agree upon. I wanted her around and to get to know her better, but I didn’t enjoy her inability to look at things from my point of view. It made me ask myself, “Do I want to continue this relationship?” Also if I do or don’t, what is it’s…

Dating, Friendships, New Apartment: How to Measure Their Worth?

I met someone recently whose company I did enjoy, however not too far into our friendship we began to argue about things that seemed neither one of us would agree upon. I wanted her around and to get to know her better, but I didn’t enjoy her inability to look at things from my point of view. It made me ask myself, “Do I want to continue this relationship?” Also if I do or don’t, what is it’s worth to my life and my happiness. Then I found this NY Times article below:

In life, there are certain nonnegotiables we simply must have. Think food, water and shelter for starters. Nobody will ask, “Is it worth it to eat?” It’s just something you do to stay alive.

But deciding what to eat? That’s a different question.

Will I eat the bologna or prosciutto? Drink tap water or bottled? And anything discretionary — anything that has even the slightest element of choice in it — invariably deals with a question we find ourselves asking all the time.

“Is it worth it?”

That said, simply because no one can answer the question for you doesn’t mean that there are not clever ways to think about it. In particular, I’ve noticed three functional relationships that seem to help in identifying whether something is worth it or not: utility, enjoyment and cost.

Utility Last year, I wrote about a $5,000 road bike that I bought. The purchase seemed absolutely crazy at the time, but I did a little mental math and realized that if the bike lasted even twice as long as some comparable models, it would be worth buying. In fact, it has lasted far more than twice as long, and I’ve never looked back. So it was worth it because of how much use I got out of it.

Enjoyment If you do not enjoy something, it’s not going to be worth it. If the choice is between a cheap can of sardines or some wild-caught Alaskan salmon, regardless of the price, if you don’t eat it, neither one was worth it. If you happen to be partial to lox, you would most likely find the salmon to be completely worth it. The sardines, on the other hand, may find their way to the back of some cupboard and never be used. They may have been less expensive, but if you don’t enjoy them, they won’t be worth it.

Cost It’s not always the most expensive stuff that’s worth it (because of how, or how much, you use or enjoy it). It could just be the stuff that you have found incredibly valuable.

For example, I have this ice cream scooper that I absolutely love. It cost me under $10, I’ve had it for years, and every time I take it out I get this big smile on my face because it cost me so little. Sure, I enjoy it and use it, but what makes it memorable to me is that it feels like a steal.

Things like these are the secret little gems of the “worth it” world — the things that cost you almost nothing but give you a tremendous amount of utility, or enjoyment.

If you get a ton of use out of something, you enjoy it every time you use it and it costs a relatively small amount, it’s going to be “worth it.” That’s a no-brainer. That’s the ice cream scooper.

But many decisions are not so obvious, particularly those in which the cost is high. And that’s when these three functional relationships can help.

In the end, however, your answer is the only one that will count. And the next time you are about to ask someone else, “Is it worth it?” don’t.

Instead, ask yourself.

The Top Ice Cream Truck Treats, from FirstWeFeast

12. The Original Good Humor calls this bar The Original—vanilla ice cream with a hard chocolate shell. Safe to say it’s a classic I will not be passing on to my progeny. While I’m not advocating for artisanal ice cream here, the stuff made you crave water after every bite. Classics should be simple, agreed, but The Original hits the same dull note over and over again. 11. Chocolate Eclair…
