I know you've thought of these from time to time.

Shower time—one of the only times you are fully alone. Some people sing, some people dance. If you're like me, you do both. As fun (and dangerous) as that may be, I usually find myself thinking of weird things that would never cross my mind if I wasn't in the bath. These things usually lead me to spiral into a dark hole of deeper thoughts, trying to fully understand and answer the questions my brain is spewing at me. However, even after climbing out of the rabbit's hole, I still never have answers. I know for a fact that a bunch of you have once thought the same things.

Here are 15 shower thoughts that will make you demand answers:

1. "Do animals speak human language?"

When you talk to your dog, what if he really does understand you? I always wonder if my cats hear what I'm saying and talk amongst themselves about me. Seriously. Do they think our language in their heads?

2. "What should my next meal be?"

Contrary to what people say, this is a question that digs to the roots of your brain searching for answers. What will you eat? It starts off with you thinking you'll get a burrito from Chipotle and ends with you auditioning to be on "Chopped" on Food Network.

3. "What does my actual face look like?"

Yes, this is a serious question. You really don't ever see your face in real life. Pictures and mirrors are only reflections of what you actually look like. It is a known fact that you never get to see what you look like. Mind blown.

4. "Do crabs think fish can fly?"

No, seriously! Obviously, crabs stay on the bottom of the ocean, they can't crawl on water. Does it look like how birds look to us?

5. "Can fish see water?"

Speaking of fish, can they see what they swim in? We can't see the air we breathe, but what if they can see water around them?

6. "Do babies understand each other?"

When you see two twin babies giggling at each other, you usually smile and mind your business. But what if they understood what they were saying to one another, and they just made the coolest joke?

7. "If cheese could talk and it had its picture taken, what would it say?"

Would cheese go around saying "Me!" when posing for pictures? Or would it talk about itself in the third person?

8. "Is a dream an alternate universe?"

Why can we feel things and smell things while we are still lying in our bed? I always get confused when I buy a pair of shoes in my dream and I wake up without them.

9. "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Of course, I had to put this one in here. This is an age old debate that still confuses me today. What better time to think about it than the shower.

10. "What would happen if there were nothing under me?"

Think about it, you're laying on your stomach on your bed. All of your weight is on it, as you look to the bed to hold you up. What would it look like if the bed disappeared in midair? What about the floor you're sitting on?

11. "How did someone find out you could milk animals?"

I don't know about you, but I don't walk around pulling random parts to animals to see what happens. I've always wondered how someone figured it out that if you pulled the right part of an animal, you can retrieve milk. I also wondered what in their right mind possessed them to then drink it.

12. "Why do you laugh when you hit your funny bone, but say it wasn't funny?"

How many times do you smack your elbow against the table, then burst out laughing but proceed to inform everyone that it wasn't comical in any way? I do it all the time, and I can never stop thinking about why.

13. "Is it possible for the earth to fall out of space?"

How long does space go for? What would happen if our planet started falling? Sometimes I think about this so deeply that I could imagine what it would feel like.

14. "How did someone decide what sound each letter would make?"

And also who decided how they would be ordered? What if there are aliens on another planet that have the same alphabet but pronounce things completely different?

15. "Why does everyone taste things differently?"

Maybe cauliflower tastes bitter to your next door neighbor and bland to your aunt. Or lemons taste like candy to your sister, but sour to your mom. It's weird that we all have the same looking tongues with everyone having taste buds, but not every food tastes the same or good to all of us.


I hope this list got you thinking, but not for too long...we don't want pruned fingers and toes from being in the shower for so long!

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.
