MyLifeIsAverage (MLIA) is a website where people may submit stories and tales of their day, and about average occurrences and average people. MLIA is a spin-off from the website FMyLife. After being submitted, the articles are moderated by users, called moderators. If enough users vote that the story is worthy of being posted, then it becomes the first story on the home page, and will later be pushed down the page. The website is currently allowing anyone to submit stories for a chance of publication. After being posted, users may click on the story I.D. to leave a comment. The stories almost always begin with the words "Today" and end with the phrase "MLIA".[1]
MLIA has received more than 100,000 stories. The majority of the users are students in high school or college.[2]
The website was co-founded by UCLA students Guru Khalsa and Enrico Mills.[3] Khalsa says that MLIA seeks to "bring to light how much stupid and boring stuff gets posted on the Internet."[4]
