Is It Just Me Or Do Other People Do It Too?

You're not alone.

Is It Just Me Or Do Other People Do It Too?
Sam Luce

There are things that we all do that we think only we do as individuals. You may think that you're super weird, but in reality it may be more common than you think. Here are some "Is it just me or do other people do it too" situations.

Is it just me or do other people...

1. Automatically think "serial killer" when they hear a noise in the house when they are alone?

It was really just the floor expanding as the air kicked on... or it's a serial killer.

2. Check behind the shower curtain for murderers when they go into the bathroom?

I mean if you don't check they could get you at your most vulnerable state!

3. Kick ice under the fridge?

But what happens when the ice cube is too big to fit under the fridge? Dun Dun DUN!

4. Try and write super proper emails to their professors so they look like they know what they're doing with their lives?

At least they know I have the ability to be polite.

5. Freak out in stores when the workers watch them even though they aren't stealing anything?

Even though you're only looking there's always that one worker who watches you and makes you feel guilty even though you didn't steal anything!

6. Worry that they'll get into the wrong car when a friend comes to pick them up?

I especially hate this when it's night time and you can't really make out who it is through the window.

7. Pretend they're in a music video when they walk down the street with headphones on?

"So you've had a bad day!" *kicks pile of leaves*

8. Run up the stairs really fast because they think there's something trying to get them from behind?

Oh my gosh, my heart is racing! MUST. RUN. UP. STAIRS. QUICKLY.

9. Like an article of clothing, check the price tag, put it back and say, "You're not cute anymore"?

"Uh...$40? I don't think so. You aren't even that cute."

10. Know the entire monologue from the Law and Order: SVU show?

The most important part is the "DUN DUN!" at the end.

11. Put earlier dates on their works cited page so the professor doesn't think I waited till the last minute to write my research paper?

Professor: "Remember, you can't do this in one day so start now."

Me: "Challenge accepted."

12. Say something completely wrong, get a concerned look from a friend, and then say,"I was just kidding"?

But really, I wasn't kidding.

13. Wonder if people in England pretend to have American accents?

They must do it too.

14. Ever want to change their major depending on the class they're in?

I do this all the time. No matter what class it is.

15. Never check the second page of Google?

If it isn't on the first page of Google then it doesn't exist.

With over 7.4 billion people on Earth, it probably isn't just 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.
