Some Examples (MLIA means “My Life is Average):
- Today is my friend’s 21st birthday. Everyone kept taking pictures of her, so I intentionally sat next to her so I would be tagged in more pictures on facebook. MLIA
- Today I called my friend and he didn’t answer. He immediately called back. To punish him, I ignored his call. I like to think he learned a lesson. MLIA
- Today, I was in a crowded place and was really bored so I decided to see if anyone could read my mind. I thought “if you can hear this, cough twice.” Two people coughed twice. I was scared. MLIA.
- Today, another car pulled up beside me at a red light, I decided we would race. He wasn’t aware of the race. I won. MLIA
