13 Things Every Left-Handed Person Can Relate To
The Verge

Did you know being left-handed is rarer than being both right-handed and ambidextrous? If you're a lefty you probably did. It's not easy being special, though. With the prevalence of our right-handed brethren, it often doesn't feel like the world is designed for those more left-inclined. Scissors, desks and even credit card checkouts aren't made for us. At least this list is. Read the rest of this list and finally feel included in something!

1. Scissors Are A Nightmare


And lefty scissors are not nearly as ubiquitous as they should be.

2. Novelty Mugs Just Aren't For You

It's cool. Didn't want to know what the motivational quote inside the mug said anyway.

3. And Neither Is Sports Equipment

Baseball and softball gloves for lefties are a ridiculous rarity.

4. Or Video Game Controllers

All the tough moves were on the right-handed side.

5. Or Pens

Especially those ones with the chains on them at banks.

6. Or Credit Card Checkouts

Sorry that I wanted to pay for my merchandise and use my dominant hand.

7. Or Desktop Mice And Keyboards



8. Or Most Desks

9. You've Heard "Are You Left Handed?" More Times Than You Can Count

No, I just do this to add more challenge to my already difficult life.

10. Pencil And Pen Smudging Is So Real And Such A Problem

11. So Is Bumping Elbows With All Your Right-Handed Buddies


12. And Writing On A Whiteboard Is A No-Go

13. Oh, And Don't Forget The Blatant Emoji Discrimination We Face

Life's tough, lefties. Hang in there! And remember: if cool people like Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie can survive as lefties, so can you! Share this article with your righty friends so they can finally understand your daily struggle.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
