– That text asking if you remember P from high school is totally going to be telling you another ex boyfriend died<\/p>\n

– Whatever happened to N who married that guy you almost hooked up with the first weekend of college? She hasn’t been on social media in a long time<\/p>\n

– That old ass Dierks Bently video with the dated blonde fauxhawk? Yeah, that’s not Dierks, that’s J and you should totally panic about him being around even though you live halfway across the country from his last known city<\/p>\n
