10 Things To Never Do When Using Public Transit

Everyday, people are witnesses and even victims to these horrible activities that some people think are okay to do on public transportation. Do not be one of those people in the images below.

Let’s all be honest here, most of us have committed one or two of these acts, but that doesn’t mean we should do them all the time. May we all take a step back and recognize these heinous actions and hopefully prevent people performing them in the future.


1. PDA

This one should be something that everyone knows. Unless you are the one participating in it, no one likes watching PDA on their morning commute to work. Holding hands, a simple hug, even a little peck is one thing, but anything more extreme than that should be kept in the bedroom.

2. Let your children run wild.

Public transportation systems are not playgrounds for your kids to roam free. You never know what could happen: your kid could get hurt, they can get off at a stop without you, or heaven forbid, someone may try to take them when you are not looking.

3. Stare.

We all love to people watch, but when does this great activity become too much? If you are staring at someone, and they catch you, and you continue holding the eye contact, then you are crossing the line. Don't be known as that guy/girl on the subway that is a "creep".

4. Catcall.


Doesn't matter what gender you identify with and it doesn't matter who you are trying to hit on, catcalling is awkward and uncomfortable. Think before you act, you never know how he or she might respond to you.


5. Take up more than one seat during busy hours.

Do I even need to explain this one? Be courteous to your fellow passengers.


6. PLEASE no smelly food.

Small spaces and foods with strong smells is not a good mixture. You may not realize how bad the smell is but the people around you do.


7. Releasing gas out of any end of the body.

I know most people think "better out than in" but in situations of confined spaces, for sometimes long periods of time, if it isn't necessary, don't do it.


8. Take your shoes off.

Smelly food, smelly gas, smelly feet, it is all the same. You wouldn't want someone else's fumes to smother you, so save the foot odor for home.


9. Pick needless arguments with strangers.

Unless you are protecting yourself or another individual from harm, pointless arguments just aren't necessary. Just because you are in a bad mood or you do not like the way that someone looks/dresses, does not mean you have the right to attack a random stranger. There's kickboxing and other safe activities to help get that built up anger out.


10. Try to skip out on pay.

There are cameras everywhere now, you are not as stealthy as you think you are.

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.
