Gone, but not extinct yet

This year we had some nice days, but now it’s time for a dino ice age. Oh man, this is the last TRENDASAURUS ever to grace the pages of the Mustang Daily, so let’s wrap things up right. First off, I want to say sorry if I ever put your favorite trend on blast and made fun of it.

Holler if you're a blogger!

If you want to know the epitome of the modern trend, look no further than the phenomenon of blogging. I mean, honestly, there are so many blogging blogs in cyberspace these days, and they’re all made by blogging bloggers who love nothing more than to blog about their blogging lives, right?

Do NOT crank dat YouTube caca, yo

Go grab your camera; it’s time to make moves. I’m gonna be famous; watch me blow up YouTube. You, my friend, can be a celebrity. And you don’t have to go get plastic surgery like Fergie, Ashlee Simpson, or Heidi Montag from “The Hills” (don’t ask me how I know that).
