Every now in then in life, I just get genuinely confused. There's so many things that just don't make any sense. From things that make me angry to things that just don't add up right, there's a plethora of things that I will just never understand. Here's 50 of them.


1. People who have so much crap in their garage that they can't park in it (which is the whole point of a garage).

2. How Trump has made it this far in the election.

3. College is pretty much required to make a decent living, meaning I am required to spend $60,000 right after high school when my biggest purchase had been a bicycle.

4. People getting pregnant on accident while the people that actually want kids struggle to have them.

5. Men that suppress their emotions in fear of seeming like less of a man.

6. Men that don't want a relationship but don't want you seeing anyone else.

7. Men that ghost you and randomly come back into your life (can you tell I'm having man troubles?).

8. Parents that don't know how to say no to their children.

9. Prices of feminine products.

10. Why women have the menstrual cycles, heavy breasts and have to give birth.

11. The way that dress codes in schools target girls.

12. Girls that don't confide in their mothers.

13. Bugs feeling the need to buzz by your ear and scare the living daylights out of you.

14. Why bugs are so tiny and sometimes harmless, yet so terrifying.

15. Why presents are only reserved for holidays (I like gifts 365 days of the year).

16. Twerking videos.

17. How I'm supposed to have my life together by graduation.

18. Vegans.

19. How all of these election data collectors got my phone number.

20. Professors that expect me to function properly at 8 a.m.

21. Negative views of taking several naps a day.

22. Cats.

23. Why Shonda Rhimes feels the need to play with my emotions every Thursday.

24. Blake Lively's post-baby body.

25. Ryan Reynolds is 40 years old and looks 25.

26. Men are praised for sleeping with countless women but women are deemed sluts for doing the same thing.

27. My ankles always get ashy.

28. I always come home from The Local with bruises.

29. Reusable water bottles always taste like whatever flavored drink you put in it no matter how many times you wash it.

30. Math.

31. Screamer Preachers.

32. The idea that having a significant other takes away from the college experience.

33. Abstract paintings.

34. Lip piercings.

35. The entire Kardashian family.

36. People coming into my work (Michael Kors) and complaining about how expensive everything is.... it's Michael Kors. What did you expect?

37. How Ivanka Trump isn't disgusted by her father.

38. Nudes.

39. People that expect nudes just because they have a significant other.

40. Crocs.

41. Aggressive drivers.

42. Chemistry.

43. People that are always on their phones when you see them but don't answer your calls.

44. People that say they don't care what's for dinner but then reject the options you give them.

45. People that don't wear shoes in the dining hall.

46. How people forget how to drive when there's an ounce of rain on the road.

47. Why Forever 21's clothes fall apart after wearing them twice.

48. BYOB frat parties.

49. How the horrible people I know are engaged and married and I'm a good girl with family values still stuck on Tinder.

50. Why carbs are so freaking good.


The world just doesn't make sense to me, and 20 years from now I think I'll still be confused. Oh well. I'm going to go eat a burger and contemplate why people don't eat them with a bun.

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.
