I love my opinions because well… they are the right ones! Please don’t ask me to explain further or I will start crying. Thanks!

Boneless wings are just glorified chicken nuggets.

Boneless wings are just adult nuggets, they are in the nugget family. Choosing a bone in wing is far superior to the wing experience. Whenever I chow down on some wings (lemon pepper or garlic parm are my favs but I don’t have time for this), my hair is UP, my rings are OFF and it’s go time. I am not trying to look pretty for anyone when I am eating some wings, I want every crevice. Those who choose boneless wings are just scared to admit they can’t grow up and eat meat off a bone.

Alternative Milks should not be extra.

I am a lactose intolerant girly, and I only drink almond or oat milk. The fact that I have to pay a dollar extra at most coffee shops for a different milk so I don’t actually explode is ridiculous in the big year 2025. It is possible, I have seen a few coffee shops (shoutout Clover Coffee Club) charge only extra for flavoring but not alternative milks. Simple and clear.

Over-consuming thrifted goods is okay.

I love trinkets and fun thrifted pieces. I feel like since someone already bought it and gave it away it’s my civic duty to give it a new home. Every time I go to a thrift store I will be purchasing a new trinket that I definitely do not need BUT in my mind the damage has already been done.

Stranger Things is Netflix’s best original series.

I feel like people either hate or love Stranger Things, so take this quick hit with a grain of salt. Yes, it took them forever to produce with the writers strike but as far as material, this is genuinely one of the best original series I have ever watched. I am biased because I started watching it when I was 13 so I have a bit of nostalgia for it but I still stand on my ground.

Everyone should wear a mask when you’re sick. COVID or not.

With flu/cold season approaching, if you MUST come to class or clock in at work please wear a mask. Not only to avoid spreading your nasty germs but to protect yourself from getting even MORE sick. It is such a simple task you can do for others and the fact that I still see people at school coughing and yacking without a mask grosses me out and should gross you out too!

TikTok ruined concert culture.

With the rise of Tiktok after COVID and quarantine I think TikTok definitely ruined the experience of going to a concert. It seems like now people only go to concerts for one viral TikTok sound, to dress up, or because the artist blew up so now they have to go. Even with fan bases, people brag about the online attention they get from an artist or will brag about how many times they get front row. I genuinely see red every time I go on TikTok and see someone post that they’re already lined up for a show 10 hours before doors.

I could not care less about any type of Marvel/DC/ any superhero movie.

As someone who loves pop culture, especially films, I really don’t care for them. Even like Star Wars….. really doesn’t do anything for me. The lore is also too much for me and I really am too lazy to try to understand. I do love Andrew Garfield Spiderman with Emma Stone because well… have you seen Emma Stone?

Turkey is so inherently mid.

As someone who celebrates Thanksgiving, I am tired of pretending turkey is good. It’s not good on Thanksgiving nor is it good any time of the year. And no, it does not depend on how you cook it. I’ve been to many different family Thanksgivings and they all taste dry, bland and botched. Thankfully, my family also agrees with me because we eat pot roast every year. Thank you to my sister who takes one for the team and prepares it!

If you’re going to make your relationship public on Instagram, you should also post why y’all broke up.

Really don’t have much to argue about. I’m just nosy. But also, if you’re posting your man on your feed, highlights, for EVERYTHING and then one day it’s just gone?? Tell me who cheated before I freak out.

I think everyone should journal.

I feel like journaling or having a diary is so stigmatized among men especially that I think it would help everyone in the long run. Including women, sometimes you just need an unbiased outlet who won’t respond or make you feel bad or give you unsolicited advice about your problems. I for one would rather men journal than leave weird Instagram notes with a Drake song attached.

Thanks for reading!
