Admit it, we all check behind the shower curtain.

10 Random Things Everyone Does

We have all done something and then taken a second to ask ourselves if what we were doing was normal and if other people did this as well. You don’t ask anyone if they do it as well because you’re afraid they will think it’s weird. Well I’ve taken the plunge and asked people if they as well did these things and I was happily surprised to find out that I wasn’t the only person who did these things. Here’s 10 random things that everyone does.

1. Take food out of the microwave with one second remaining


I don’t know why we all do this but there’s just a rush of adrenaline trying to open the microwave when there’s only one second left.

2. Cover only one leg with a blanket

We’ve all done this when it’s too cold to not have a blanket but it’s too warm to completely have the blanket on your legs. So to compensate, you only cover one leg with the blanket.


3. Pace around the house during a phone call


You walk around every single room in your house when you take a phone call and by the end you are wondering how you ended up where you are.

4. You plan out conversations in your head before you have them


Before an important conversation or argument with someone, you plan out everything you and the other person are going to say and of course you’re going to end up winning!

5. You check behind the shower curtain anytime you walk into the bathroom

You know, just in case someone decided to hide behind there.

6. Pretending to text someone when you’ve walked the wrong way

We’ve all done this. You realize that you have been walking the wrong way. So, rather than just turning around and back tracking you take out your phone and pretend to text someone so it looks like you didn’t completely just walk the wrong way.

7. Pretend to be in a music video when listening to a sad song

You’re in the car, a sad song comes on, so you look out the window and pretend that you are in a very dramatic music video. It was even better if it was raining out.

8. Picking things up with your toes

You could bend over to pick up the shirt you want to wear but that requires a lot of effort so you just pick it up with your toes, toss it in the air and catch it.

9. Saying “OW” when it’s not necessary

Someone could hit you with a feather but your reaction is going to be to say “ow”.

10. Pretending to understand what someone said

Someone has been asking you a question but you cannot hear what they are saying. Rather than asking them what they said for the fifth time you just nod your head and say “yeah” hoping it’s a response that works.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
