#Blogtops Challenge: Things That Make You Feel Like You Are (or are pretending to be) a Grown-up

Posted on February 11, 2014 in #Blogtops, Millennial Musings, Real Talk

After a(nother) long hiatus, #blogtops are back! This week’s topic? Grown-up!

#Blogtops Challenge: Technology – When do we stop caring?

Posted on January 6, 2014 in #Blogtops, Millennial Musings

After a brief holiday hiatus, #blogtops are back!

This week Dave and I thought we’d give our take on something that is oh, so prevalent in our lives: technology.

#Blogtops Challenge: Routine

Posted on December 17, 2013 in #Blogtops, Art & Culture, Reviews

A’ight y’all.

I think you can all sympathize with my plight of last minute work projects before people go into hiding during the holidays. That is why this blog post is over a week late!

This post deals with the ever-exciting topic: routine!

Now this is probably where you’d expect some riveting description of how to get ready in the morning or some uber-helpful organizational tips.

Well, I’ve never been one to do the expected!

#Blogtops Challenge: Confessions of a Country Music Convert

Posted on December 4, 2013 in #Blogtops, Art & Culture

Do you guys remember those survey forwards that we used to get in middle school and send around to each other? You know? The one’s you’d get on your AOL account that went something like..

Name:

Grade:

Favorite Food:

Favorite Backstreet Boy:

Favorite type of music:

If you were anything like me your answer to the last question probably read something like: ANYTHING BUT COUNTRYYYYY! BLECH PUKE! With exception being that your answer was probably written in Comic Sans.

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason a grew up with an all-out HATRED toward country music. Even just the first few notes of a banjo or harmonica was enough to send me running for the hills and reaching for the radio knob.

WELL NO LONGER!

For this week’s #blogtop theme: TUNES, I’m coming out…

I now like country music!

#Blogtops Challenge: The fam fam !

Posted on November 29, 2013 in #Blogtops

In order to catch up with the #blogtops, this post will just be a photo collage, showing my different families of all sorts. Enjoy!

“BlogTops” are weekly blog posts that myself, my good friend Dave, and hopefully you will join us in discussing topics that we feel the majority of millennials are dealing with or have dealt with in their lives. To keep it creative we pick one specific word for the weekly topic and then we are letting our imagination and creative writing take our blogs in whatever direction we so choose. It could be anything from generalizing the topic, to specific memories, to something serious, or funny. It’s anything goes! If you want to join along tag your posts with BlogTop on Twitter, WordPress, Tumblr, etc. and we will be sure to promote your blogs on social media!

#Blogtops Challenge: Tackling Stereotypes

Posted on November 29, 2013 in #Blogtops, Art & Culture, Millennial Musings

I know. I know.

I’ve been very neglectful of you, my loyal readers (all 10 of you 😛 ). However, I’m not a quitter—at least not when it comes to friends like my good pal, Dave. So, even though we’re almost 2 weeks late here’s my weekly #blogtop for the topic, Stereotypes.

#Blogtops Challenge: Dear Fei and Dave

Posted on November 12, 2013 in #Blogtops, Advice

Who knew that Diet Coke vs. Coffee debates would stir up such controversy? My only regret is that I did not spend more time building an excellent case for my favorite heavenly beverage. Kudos to Dave on his far superior blog post.

Since it seems that posts that show diverging options and views on the world tend to be the most enticing to you all, we thought we’d continue the trend this week with some #advice. That’s right, for this week’s #blogtop some lucky advice-seekers get two sets of advice for one! We’re not trying to sell ourselves as experts here, by any means. But, we figure, with two of us, at least one of us is bound to be helpful right? The question is, who’s advice will you take: his or hers?

Let’s see…

#Blogtops Challenge: Diet Coke vs. Coffee–The Ultimate Showdown

Posted on November 4, 2013 in #Blogtops

This week, our weekly #blogtops challenge is dedicated to the life-blood of many a millennial: caffeine.

Yes, it’s true. From coffee, to tea, to soda, to five hour energy the thing that keeps a lot of us 2 a.m. sleepers and 9 a.m. waking up-ers going is that lovely chemical. The question is, what’s your poison?

So, after two weeks of terrible #blogtops posts I am back with a vengeance to defend the honor of the best drink known to man, DIET COKE. <3 To see Dave’s post about the clearly inferior drink, coffee, check out his blog here.
