Disrupters, Disconnects, and Dicks
Emma Healy
I’m not a huge fan of Nev Schulman or the show Catfish in general, but I didn’t think it was this bad. Personally, if I’m not super into a person or show I’m not going to check up on them, which is probably why I didn’t know that he was (according to Healy) and complete dick. Apparently he has changed his ways since his days of getting kicked out of Sarah Lawrence, but can becoming celibate really cause such a complete 180? From assaulting people and being called a “condescending, entitled, reprehensible tool” to becoming an international man of *online dating* mystery, Schulman seems to be alright (I guess). I think what I most agree with is Healy saying that the show Catfish is more like a small bundled of weird and awkward short films rather than a “reality TV show.” Overly dramatic and super, SUPER awkward bursts of human interaction are way too much for me to handle watching for five minutes, let alone having me sit through an entire episode.

To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This
Mandy Len Catron
I’m so happy that I decided to read this article, as I think it might actually have just become my new favorite article on the internet. As someone who loves love, this really hit me right in the feels. I love being in love, I love watching other people fall in love, I love reading/seeing/hearing about love; I’m an emotional person okay, get over it. To be honest, at the beginning when the writer starts to talk about the work of psychologist Arthur Aron and how he managed to make two complete strangers fall deeply in love… in a laboratory. So, off the bat, weird, but I’m into it.
