5 Animals That Scare Us The Most
Michael Coghlan

Imagine being stuck in an alley pinned against the animal that scares you the most. What would that animals be?

Everyone has a fear of some sort of animal. Some of which can be extremely unusual, while others may be common. What brings about this fear to us? How can something so small or so large make our heart race so fast? Here our my five animals that I believe people wouldn't want to be stuck in an alley with.

1. Spider

The itsy bitsy spider. So small, yet so powerful to some individuals. What exactly brings about this fear? I know numerous people who freak out at the site of a spider. Is that you? The creepy unpredictability of a spider is why people fear them.

2. Snake

I'm part of this group that has a hatred for snakes. If you think about it, it's kind of weird to hate on snakes. It's not like everyday you're going to run into a snake. I think it's just part of our evolution that we've gained a hatred towards snakes.


3. Sharks

When it comes to being scared of sharks, I feel that most of these people are too much consumed into the media. Yes, shark attacks do happen but not at the rate it may seem. Sharks are usually harmless to humans. I get that sharks give off the impression of being scary animals with all the teeth and being such great predators in the ocean. People fear sharks because that would truly be a terrible way to die! Imagine getting eaten alive by a shark.


4. Bees

With their yellow and black intimidating stripes, bees are feared by lots of people. This phenomenon has to be because almost everybody knows someone who has been stung by a bee. They always talk about how painful it was to be stung. In all reality, it's not that painful to be stung by a bee. It's just like going to the doctor and getting a shot.


5. Crocodile/Alligator

All the forceful power an alligator can have makes it scary to most people. Plus it's actually a stealthy animal for its size. They like to sneak up on their prey and then attack with the power jaws they have. Alligators and Crocodiles have survived all these years on earth for a reason. This is truly an animal that everyone should fear a little. Being protective animals, if you're in the wrong area at the wrong time you could be in great trouble.

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.
