Here's a list of completely random things that honestly make no sense. Even if they have an explanation, they still confuse the general population.

1. Why women's pockets are the way they are.

Seriously, you can't fit anything in them.

2. Why we park on the driveway.

Huh?

3. And why we drive on the parkway.

I repeat, huh????

4. Why "Carrie Diaries" was canceled.

Yes, it was cheesy, but it was a good kind of cheesy.


5. Why racism is still a thing.

Guys, it's 2017.

6. How finstas are fake, rinstas are real, but fiestas are the most real Instagrams I've seen.

Think about it. No filters. No staged photos. No cute captions. It's just people being real about their lives and posting poor quality photos that were taken amongst a billion "rinsta-worthy" ones.

7. Why New Jersey's been labeled the armpit of the United States.

If you've ever had our pork roll, bagels, and pizza, you'd be thinking differently.

8. Kansas and Arkansas.

Watch this, and you'll understand.

9. People's reactions after finding out James Cordon can sing.

He was in "Into the Woods," so I don't know where everyone has been.

10. How you could ignore a friend in pain.

It's simple, don't do it. Don't add to whatever pain they already have.

11. How mermaids go to the bathroom.

Someone answer this, please.

12. On the topic on mermaids, how did Aquamarine's hair properly cover her?

I could just imagine the film being like "There perfect, now don't move too much."

13. The ending of "Lost."

Y'all who watched this know exactly what I'm talking about.

14. How bumblebees can fly with such tiny wings.

15. Why there's a standard with girls and their sex lives.

If a girl wants sex, she's a whore. If she doesn't, she's a prude.

16. Why we celebrate getting closer to death.

Every birthday every year.

17. Why blondes are always the first to die in horror movies.

I'm not one for horror movies, but my friend is, and this seemed to bother them a lot.

18. Rubix Cubes.

I still don't understand them.

19. Why your dentist makes conversation with their hands shoved into your mouth.

"So, how was your vacation?" "Mrmgmhm Shuhsysemy Fhsmemoe" "Florida? Wow, that sounds amazing!"


It's 2017, so I feel like a lot of these should have answers or just shouldn't exist. Comment with anything that also confuses you.

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.
