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...

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
