12 Things I Will Never Understand

The things you probably rack your brain about often

12 Things I Will Never Understand

1: Not flushing the toilet


Okay this one always stumps me. Like how do you forget to just flush the toilet? Or how do you consciously just walk out of a public restroom stall without flushing, leaving it behind for someone else.

2: The "hanger straps" they put on shirts that don't need them

I hope the people that put these pointless straps on TANK TOPS are realizing that they are just wasting material. If a top already has straps why would you go add two more?

3: The fact that instagram still won't let you see if someone follows you back

With as often as instagram has updates you would think this would be a simple feature to add. And I know they aren't worried about "copying" twitter, I mean look what they did to snapchat

4: The obsession with the snapchat dog filter

I'm not saying I don't use it. But if 14/15 times you take a selfie you have a dog nose, ears and tongue sticking out, you might as well invest in a costume to wear all the time

5: walking down the wrong direction in a crowded place

This is the most unnecessary action. This does nothing but irritate the people who have to move out of your way. Foot traffic or street traffic should always keep right.

6: The 140 character limit on tweets


Where did the 140 number come from anyway? Why didn't they pick like 200 or something. Maybe some of us want to type out the full "and" in some tweets instead of having to sub the symbol or spell out "you" like we are somewhat educated.

7: Why Apple took the AUX port out of the IPhone 7

I guess apple just expects that we're in a world now where everything is bluetooth but I must say my head phones and 2008 car do not agree.

8: Why Walmart has 40 lanes but only 6 are open at a time


It can't be that hard for half the employees that are just roaming the store to "help customers" (let's be real for a sec... who actually goes to Walmart without any idea of what they want or where to find it) to run a cash register and help with all the traffic jam of carts piling up behind check out lines.

9: Why Pinterest DIYs never turn out as good as the original

I just don't understand how a DIY can turn out so perfectly for one person and then when any other normal person tries to recreate it, they fail miserably. I think instead of "Do it yourself" we should entitle it "Don't it yourself".

10: Applying for a job but you must already have experience with it

How can an employer expect you to have experience with something when you can't even get the job in order to have the experience?

11: "Morning" people

I must say I have much respect for the people who can hop out of bed bright and early with a smile on their face and a positive attitude. I on the other hand need to go atleast an hour with no one talking to me and take that hour to get some coffee in my system in order to function like a half decent human being.

12: Boys

And they say we're hard to understand...

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.
