Ari’s Got Questions And Social Media’s Got Answers
Ari’s Got Questions, and Social Media’s Got Answers! On Saturday evening, Ari had something on her mind and decided to take it to the internet. In her post, she wrote:
“Why are grown adults at college homecoming? Is that normal? I’m genuinely asking because I didn’t go to a big college that did stuff like that. But it seems so off. I thought that was for the kids in school event.”

While Ari mentioned that she was genuinely curious and admitted she never attended a big college herself, that didn’t stop users from going OFF and calling the question wild.
Social Media Had A LOT To Say
Ari’s tweet quickly racked up more than 3.7 million views and had everyone chiming in. Some tried to educate her on the meaning of college homecoming, while others had jokes ready to go over in The Shade Room’s comment section.

Ari Doubles Down & Claps Back
It’s safe to say Ari saw how her tweet blew up and how many college grads felt a way. In true Ari fashion, she came right back with a bit of shade. In a follow-up tweet, she wrote: “Y’all offended ’cause I made y’all feel old. I was just asking 🫠 Big and mad, literally.”
But the back-and-forth didn’t stop there. When one user commented, “You’d rather be narcissistic instead of saying you were wrong 😭,” Ari said, “Wrong for what? Asking a question?”
