           When I think of Social Media, I think of Poison Dart Frogs. Sure, they look like normal frogs, but when you touch them, you get poisoned. Does that mean that anyone who goes on Social Media needs to immediately head to the hospital? Well, maybe not an actual hospital but that is besides the point. Social media is quite an... interesting place that I tend to avoid. Many people find it strange, but I like to think it is for the best. So what do I mean by Social Media being like Poison Dart Frogs? Why do I not like Social media? Well, allow me to explain with a simple picture. Mr. Beast getting backlash for helping the poor on Twitter: ( https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1656669124452556806 )               This is exactly why I hate social media. People get mad over the smallest of things. In this case, he was literally helping people in need. How are people mad at this? Seriously, say what you want about Mr. Beast, but you cannot under any circumstances be mad at him for dona

    It's safe to say that everyone knows who Mario is, he's everywhere! He has all types of games like 2D platformers, 3D platformers, racing games, party games, and even Tetris like games. Though one of the most underrated types of Mario games is easily the rpg games. These games, from all the experience I have playing them, are amazing games. They're fun, funny, challenging, sometimes dark, and overall a great experience. There are 3 types: Mario rps, Mario and Luigi rpgs, and Paper Mario rpgs. Out of these three, my favorite is the Mario and Luigi series. Growing up, I had Mario and Luigi: Dream Team on the 3DS, and it was easily the best time of my life growing up. The music, the art style, the humor, it was all fantastic. However, there hasn't been a new Mario and Luigi game since 2019, and with the bankruptcy of AlphaDream, the developers of the Mario and Luigi series, things are looking bleak for Mario and Luigi fans. Is there any hope? Scene from the Mario Movie

      Are hashtags outdated? A question that I do not see many people asking, but one that is definitely worth asking. Regardless of the generation that the person may have come from, the hashtag will always have some kind of importance, despite the varying degrees of cultural impact between generations. When someone asks, "Are hashtags outdated," it is important to look at it through all angles between each generation and its usage.     When people think of, "Hashtags," the first thing many may think of are in slang. People, especially on social media platforms will use hashtags to emphasize an idea. For example, people would say things like, "#swag" to emphasize how cool they are or how cool something they did is or "#sad" to emphasize how sad someone felt. These were commonly used during the early 2010's, but this use has died down into an outdated fad. At least, for everything except social media. Nowadays, hashtags are used in the same w

      Fun fact that you may not have known about me, but I collect Dragon Ball figures. Why you may ask? It's more so a hobby to me; a very expensive hobby. I chose Dragon Ball figures because their line, specifically the S.H. Figuarts line, is really nice looking with great articulation and accessories. Even though I love Star Wars, their high end figures just feel the same as a toy that I could find at target. These Dragon Ball ones though are beyond that. They feel like statues that you can pose with how good they look, and I really do cherish each and every one of them. Though one stands above all the rest: Cooler.      Picture of S.H. Figuarts Cooler ( https://www.toyark.com/2021/03/03/s-h-figuarts-dbz-cooler-final-form-revealed-419528 )         For those who don't know, this is Cooler, Frieza's brother from one of the Dragon Ball Z movies. Funnily enough, he's not even my favorite character, nor my favorite villain for that matter. Bandai just did a really amazing

      It really should come as no surprise that many students after high school tend to lean more towards higher education. Many jobs today require a degree in higher education, especially one that are able to pay for a fulfilling and stable life. College can do so much for a person. You get the chance to make new friend, have new experiences, to really learn what it means to be an adult. Though if I am being honest, it is not pretty. Granted, this is only my first year of college, but I feel like things are just really rough for the average college student.     To start things off lightly, it feels inconvenient and annoying to have to dodge the people who want you to sign something (Aka Clipboard guys). Like I just want to get to class, I would rather not sell my soul to something I do not really care about just to appease these people. Granted, that is a very dramatic way of saying I do not want to sign something, but somedays that is just how it feels. Then there is all the added wo

      Usually, when it comes to memes, whenever they're brought into other forms of media like video games and movies, they tend to fail. Things like Ultra Instinct Shaggy couldn't save Multiverses from irrelevancy, and bringing Morbius back in theaters only cost Sony lots of money with no returns. However, Dragon Ball Legends, a very popular Dragon Ball mobile game has made a meme into a huge success and a character to be feared. The line, " Nobody can beat me when I'm Super 17, " became an iconic line with how goofily the American voice actor delivered it. Prior to the LF Super 17 unit, every other Super 17 unit was pretty bad, having nothing that was actually threatening and generally just having many better alternatives. The only reason he was so popular was because of the meme. On the 31'st of January though, everything changed. Legends finally made a Super 17 unit that was practically unbeatable, just like the meme quote said. So what makes LF Super 17 s
