The time has (HOPEFULLY) almost come for Pretty Little Liars fans everywhere to finally be given some goddamn answers, and it's cause for celebration.

To be specific, it's more like a ~celebrAtion~.

It's time to throw the kind of party where Charles himself would have a good time.

The kind of party where Red Coat would let their hair down, and Black Widow would throw caution to the wind.

But how would one host a party for such an anticipated moment? Well, it would go a little something like this...

Decorations should obviously reference ~that night~, when this whole fucking mess began.

You know, that fictional date that pretty much ruined your life forever.

Disable the Facebook Messages "Seen" read receipt.

Those pesky read receipts RUIN lives. If you're the type of person who doesn't want to reply because you're ~not in the mood~, then you should disable "Seen" receipts so people don't know you're ignoring them.

Download the Facebook Unseen Chrome extension or install Chat Undetected for Firefox and Internet Explorer. The downside? You won't be able to see when people have read your messages.

16 Life Lessons I Learned From My Plants

Even poo has a job to do.

Andrew Richard / Thinkstock / BuzzFeed

Sometimes the thing you think is over isn't really over.

One summer, I bought a beautiful red bromeliad that I named Beatriz after my Brazilian aunt, whom I missed desperately. It started dying as soon as I got it. It became a sad, brown dead thing that symbolized failure so I took it outside and forgot about it. The fall came and went, the snow fell and melted and the following spring I decided to deal with the sad dead plant once and for all.

When I dug my fingers into the earth, I discovered a bunch of bulbs that had been beneath the bromeliad the whole time! For almost a year, through a freezing winter, after being forgotten and dejected and ignored, those bulbs were just sitting there, waiting to bust out.

They bloomed into bright orange lillies that poked their cheerful little heads above the other flowers. They'd been waiting the whole time to get their chance. It's never over, even when you think it's over.

Unexpected obstacles can be beautiful and even delicious.

There's a reason that we use plants to flavor our food: Thyme, mint, oregano and many, many other herbs are as sturdy and fierce as we are as humans. They grow in tough corners and in cracks in the sidewalks, and for thousands of years, humanity has used them to bring flavor to their food and healing to their bodies. Herbs are weeds and weeds are ancient and strong.

17 Cheap Products That Are Actually Worth Buying

Sometimes it pays to be cheap.

Jenny Chang / BuzzFeed

With hours and hours of expert testing on everything from toothbrushes to air conditioners, The Sweethome knows when it's worth it to spend money on something great. But they also know when the cheaper version will work just as well. So BuzzFeed Life got the scoop from Michael Zhao at The Sweethome on when it actually pays off to be cheap.

Tea Steeper

The actual best tea steeper, according to The Sweethome, costs only $10. Finum’s Brewing Basket’s ultra-fine mesh gives maximum room for leaves to expand (which gives the tea lots of flavor), but still filters out even the tiniest specks of tea. In their tests, it beat similar models that were twice as expensive.

Laundry Basket

At $10 each, the Sterilite Stacking Laundry Basket blows other more expensive models out of the water. Of the 50 different laundry baskets The Sweethome tested, this one has more comfortable handles, holds more weight, and most importantly, stacks more easily than any of its competitors.
