things literally everyone can agree on

I don’t know about y’all, but I cannot go on social media without quickly seeing nasty political rants, complete with fights in the comments. It is quite the downer. I cannot believe I am asking for engagement announcements, weekly baby photoshoots, and weird memes, but I AM! I would gladly take that over watching my friends and family tear one another apart. Yes, this election cycle was rough, but we need to put aside the divisive rhetoric that has become so common and remember that above all, we are AMERICANS, and it is our responsibility to keep our country together and moving forward. In the spirit of unity and resilience, I decided to compile a list of rather superficial things that “literally everyone” (quote from my friend) can agree on:

• Yes, Netflix. We are still watching.
• Bring back the public lists of Snapchat best friends.
• Starbucks baristas need spelling lessons.
• Mondays should be optional.
• Champagne tastes best in the morning.
• Twilight was extremely creepy and stalkerish in hindsight.
• Caffeine needs to come in IV form.
• Everyone needs to have their read receipts turned on.
• When you see a cop car, you hit the brakes, even if it is going the other way or parked somewhere.
• We only want Chikfila on Sundays.
• If it has fruit in it, it’s healthy.
• Lipstick is always a good idea.
• We right swipe if you have a mirror pic in your profile.
• THE DOOR WAS BIG ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF YOU, ROSE!
• We set our alarms earlier than needed so we can “snooze” them and sleep longer.
• Few things are worse than accidentally quitting the music app.
• Everyone has “the chair” where rejected outfits go to die.
• Nap time should be a thing for everyone, not just preschoolers.
• We reserve the right to yell a few curse words when someone cuts us off.
• We drink every time the Bachelor or Bachelorette stares off into the distance contemplating a decision.
• We know our wifi codes better than our social security numbers.
• We can’t listen to “A Thousand Miles” without thinking of the scene from White Chick.
• We can never go to Target and just get one thing.
• We could probably solve the world’s problems in our deep thoughts during our shower.
• Friends don’t post Instagrams that we look bad in.
• Friends do, however, help us come up with a killer caption.
• It is never too cold for ice cream.
• It will always be cheaper on Amazon.
• Calories don’t exist on our birthday or any holiday.
• Flowers brighten up any day.
• When we look out the window and it’s raining, we imagine we are in a music video or a movie.
• We don’t pass the aux cord to anyone with an iPhone 7.
• Mom always knows best.
• Beauty is pain, which is why we wear the painful but adorable shoes out dancing.
• The second we get cozy in bed, we remember that we forgot something and have to get up.
• The sequel will never better than the original (except for maybe Star Wars).
• Instagram needs a “mute” feature.
• Chipotle needs to deliver.
• Carrie should have picked Aidan, not Big.
• Cheap wine and chocolate can heal most wounds.
• Daniel Radcliffe always will be Harry Potter.
• Every skirt will inevitably ride up at least 3 inches from where it hit us when we try it on.
• Dogs make the best secret keepers.
• If Britney made it through 2007, we can make it through this.
