Significance Of 12 Things Everyone Has Underneath Their Bed

The underside of my bed was a magical place as a child. It was where I placed my toy chest and all of my collectible items, namely sticks and random stuff I found on the playground. However, I could also use it as a hiding spot in case monsters or my annoying relatives came to pay me a visit. I also had to keep in mind, that not everything that I find underneath the bed is a friend.

There may be a time and place for everything, but some things you just don't want to find underneath your bed.

1. A live explosive.

Imagine the police and the ATF came knocking at your door about that rusty old can you found in the park. Turns out, it was a live ordinance and now, you and your entire block have to evacuate in case that thing goes boom.

2. Asbestos.

No one likes mesothelioma.

3. Gremlins.

Going to bed knowing that creatures won't eat your face because you remembered to offer them food before midnight is very reassuring. But then again, who keeps gremlins under their bed?

4. Bees.

This one doesn't need a punchline because Nicholas Cage already ruined it.

5. Donald Trump.

You fall asleep with one foot hanging off the side of your bed, uncovered by the sheet. Suddenly you feel something grab it. The room is dark, so you only see the silhouette of a bad hair weave. Terrified, you turn on the lights and you see Donald Trump with his head sticking out from under your bed. He says "Hey kid, want to build a wall?"

6. The invoices to your student loans.

Everyone deserves the right to sleep easy, free from knowing that they are thousands of dollars in debt and hopelessly unable to repay it.

7. Grapes.

Perhaps this is why that stupid duck pesters you at your day job working the lemonade stand.

8. A box of animal crackers from 2005.

They were your favorite snack item in elementary school. Chances are, you would get food poisoning if you tried to eat them. Go to the store and buy fresher ones.

9. A flux capacitor.

Marty McFly must be having a horrible time in 2016, considering 2015 was an utter disappointment.

10. The onion your playground chums dared you to eat.

Again, what's with you keeping old food under your bed? Oh, right, the gremlins.

11. Your math homework from 10th grade.

When you see it, you think to yourself "So that's why I got a C in math, which destroyed my GPA, causing me to be in the crappy spot I am currently in.

12. $20.

Resist the urge to spend it on alcohol. First thing's first, buy yourself a nutritious meal. No, ramen is not a nutritious meal. Try again.

However, not everything is bleak. In fact, if you find the following items under your bed, you may be taught valuable lessons in life. Take notes and compare them to what's underneath your bed right now. Can you find meaning in everything there?

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.
