11 ways every Irish gal’s life has changed since this year’s series of Love Island started

Jade Hayden

Love Island has changed a lot of lives.

No, really, it has. Hear us out.

This year’s series of the show might have only been on for the past six weeks or so, but it honestly feels like we’ve been watching Georgia talk about how loyal she is for the past eight years.

The islanders have become a part of us and we have become a part of them.

For better or for worse, we are not the same people that we were six weeks ago. Our have changed exponentially.

Here’s 11 ways how:

1. We watch ads on the TV now

Or we just watch TV full stop.

Honestly, when’s the last time you can remember religiously sitting down in front of the telly to watch a show every night?

It’s unheard of these days and yet, here we are, sat in front of the box willingly viewing three minutes of advertisements every night.

Madness.

2. We need to be home at at a certain time every night

Housemate locked out? Sorry man, can’t make it home.

Immersion left on? Doesn’t matter, not coming back.

Love Island‘s about to start? Get us off this bus immediately or else we’re going to have to catch up later and be behind and nobody wants that.

Nobody.

3. English slang is now part of our vernacular

“You going to crack on with him now or what?” “Bitta grafting happening tonight then yeah?”

Not entirely sure we’re using the above correctly at all but that’s how we speak from now on, sorry.

4. There’s finally something to talk about at the hairdressers

THANK. GOD.

5. Twitter is now our most used app

Look, not going to lie, it already was before.

But until last month, Twitter was just full of questionable memes and really upsetting news stories. Now it’s full of questionable memes but the memes are about Georgia being loyal and Adam not lying because he’s attracted to someone else.

A great place to be, tbh.

6. Office banter doesn’t just consist of weather-chat anymore

Every single person in every single work place is watching Love Island.

And if they’re not, they’ve taken two months of annual leave to deal with the fact that they can no longer hold a conversation with anyone anymore.

7. We can now spot a fuckboi (fuck boy) a mile away

They look like Adam Collard. That’s it, that how you spot them.

8. We’ve become super conscious of the amount of water we drink

Those lads are absolutely stuck to their water bottles 24/7 and good for them because we don’t think we’ve been that hydrated since we were swimming around in the womb.

They must have some seriously clear pee.

9. Loyalty cards will never be the same again

You only get one if you’re loyal babe because that’s just you that just who you are you’re loyal you’re G and you’re loyal and you’re not gonna lie because you’re what?

Loyal.
