Was "reading more" one of your failed New Year's resolutions? Well, we're going to let you in on a little secret: you don't have to buy books to indulge in the creativity of wordsmiths. Turns out that you can consume clever witticisms all over the internet. You just have to know where to look. Fortunately, the subreddit r/brandnewsentence makes that mission a little easier. It's a veritable hub of quirky writing that's been harvested from Twitter, Tumblr, and even the dreaded hellscape that is Facebook. We've put together some of their finest examples of creative writing, but there's loads more where these came from. Hell, they may even inspire you to get a little more funky with your own posts. Go crazy. We're here for a good time, not a boring time.

It's truly crazy just how much of an impact one small decision can end up having in the grand scheme of things.

Never underestimate the kinds of petty lengths people will go to in the workplace environment to make their power known, or get back at a particularly insufferable coworker. Everyone has their breaking point, and sometimes when you arrive at yours, you decide to redirect all that pent up rage back out into the world in the form of an extra spicy petty revenge. This collection of petty power moves are as impressive as they are just terribly petty. 

The powers that be aren't just trying to keep rebellious teens down. Sometimes they target chill teachers too. Sometimes those teachers have to use the rules against the rules, like this teacher who flipped the script on the frustrating administration. And regarding rebellion, here's a Tumblr story about a teacher who underestimated their students in a social experiment.

Good morning! Rise and grind! Let's get these memes! Imagine waking up and immediately scrolling through a huge batch of hilarious gifts from the internet. Name a better way to start your day. Coffee? Please. Don't talk to me until I've had my memes.
