  25. Standards makes you take all the good posts down.
  26. Your friends are all fucking gorgeous and you wind up looking like a gremlin in comparison.
  27. You’re too busy basking in the perfect weather of that exotic, once in a lifetime Spring Break location to be snapping pics of the locals all day long.
  28. You just really, really don’t give a shit.
