Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

Most of us change quite a bit between our high school years and what would be considered adulthood.

We're going to say "most" because we all know/know of that person who peaked in high school and just can't seem to let the glory days go.

This article will not resonate with that "peaked in high school" person ... like at all.

Hashtag Roundup asked Twitter users to do some reminiscing - they wanted us to take it back to high school (for some of us that's waaaaaaaay back, so take your time thinking) and then compare high school us to Adult us.

How are we different? How are we the same?

If you went to high school in the 90's and you were on trend - did your eyebrows ever grow back?

No shade, 90's fam...

GIPHY

Anyway, the roundup was pretty popular, and brought a few things to light.

Firstly, high school self is not our best, guys. We were kind of messy - but the glow ups we had when we stopped worrying so much ... WOW!

Secondly, we appear to be quite disillusioned with pants... just as a concept, ya know?

And thirdly, resting is magical and people want more of it.

Seriously, we feel so deeply represented by these responses.











Some things never change, though...





#SAME, fam, same.

Nancy Sinatra Shuts Down MAGA Fan Who Claimed Her Famous Dad Would've Voted For Trump

It's no secret that MAGA Republican President Donald Trump hasn't been able to attract the cream of the crop when it comes to the entertainment industry. While Kid Rock, Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio are Trump ride or dies, pretty much every other Hollywood or music legend or rising star is taking a pass on Trump.

And some outright despise the man and let everyone know. Often.

MAGA Brands New Pope 'Woke' After His Past Tweet Criticizing JD Vance Resurfaces

Dept. Of Energy Roasted After Posting Bonkers Light Switch Meme To Praise Trump

The U.S. Department of Energy was mocked online after it shared a photo of President Donald Trump signing executive orders next to an image of a hand turning a light switch on—a bizarre meme that had people scratching their heads wondering what in the world the department was aiming for.

The official X account posted the meme without a caption or a comment of any kind—just one of many posts in recent days lauding the Trump administration and particularly Secretary Chris Wright for ensuring that "energy equals freedom" and that the U.S. has entered a "golden age of liquid gold."
