8 Places That Truly Feel Like Altered Reality

In This Article:

Everyone has seen that post on Twitter with a list of places that make you feel like you're in an altered reality. There have been hundreds of Twitter posts citing places like post offices, Cracker Barrels, and airports in which millions of people agree that those places make you feel like reality is altered. Here is my take on places that I believe reality feels altered, and many can agree.

1. The Rotunda at night

If you've ever been to UVA, you know that streaking the lawn is a normal and nightly occurrence. It is odd, to say the least to see naked people running around a UNESCO World Heritage site.

2. Your house in the morning when it snows

The world is calm to a point where reality feels altered.

3. Buses at night

This is a classic. The fluorescent blue lighting and the empty seats make buses at night feel so odd.

4. Movie theaters during the day

You walk into a dark movie for two hours, then walk out into broad daylight. Weird.

5. Your old elementary school

Giphy

The eerie swing set and the prepubescent memories all add to the weird effect your old elementary school brings when you drive by.

6. Community pools in the winter

Giphy

This one is weird if you haven't been to a pool during the winter, but seriously, it is accurate.

7. Laser tag

Maybe it's the dark room and the neon lights that freak me out, but laser tag always has me so out of it when I'm done playing.

8. Empty airplanes

Airplanes that only have a few people on them make me feel so weird. Airplanes are supposed to be annoyingly crowded.

Maybe reality is altered and we're living in it now. Weird, right?

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.
