7 Things Only Left-Handed People Understand

I may be left-handed, but I’m always right.

Gentlemen's Gazette

We make up 10 percent of the population, but we're still forgotten. From the devilish can opener to the uncomfortable ice cream scooper, it seems like the world is against us sometimes. There's no denying that we're the odd people out, but that doesn't mean that we can't gather together and unite. Here are a few of the soul-crushing issues we face on a daily basis.

1. Spiral notebooks don’t care about you.

“Honey, why are there so many marks on your arms?” your mom always asks. Don't be fooled by how "cute" this notebook looks. It's deadly.

2. Binders don't care about you.

All you want to do is write a sentence on a piece of people, and all of a sudden, your left hand is stuck in the rings of a binder. Seriously, it’s like the whole world is against you. Oh, the struggle.

3. Crossword puzzles and birthday cards can be a pain in the you-know-where.

You can never revel in your glory after finishing a difficult crossword puzzle -- mainly because you can’t even read your answers. And, as for the birthday cards? You have to go five cards before you can finally write a message without smudging everything.

4. Walking into a room filled with these.


Until you find a one-in-a-million desk that can fulfill your left-handed needs. Hallelujah!

5. Scissors.

You could never get anything done in arts and crafts, but that didn't stop you. Come at me, Hello Kitty.

6. Spending your entire school career bumping elbows with your right-handed desk neighbors.



It got so bad that you had to switch desks for the rest of seventh grade math class.

7. And, last but not least, this.


Also known as the Silver Surfer Hand. Beware.

Sure, we die 10 years earlier, but at least we're special.

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.
