15 Questions That Hurt My Brain
Uni Lad

There are things in life that everyone says they "just don't understand." For example, men "just don't understand" women and the way they act. Or perhaps we all "just don't understand" how the politicians that were elected by us don't do what they promised and end up sucking in the long run. But these are the types of things we logically can think about and can come up with reasons to help us further understand them. However, there is a batch of things I just cannot, under any circumstances, understand, and, if trying too hard, it may make your brain hurt. So here is a list of questions that continue to stay mind blowing to me, even though there may be a very good explanation for them.

1. How can a camera trap the light around you and put a picture of you inside a little box?

2. How is the United States so huge and there are roads to literally everywhere?

3. How are all those roads connected, and who the heck took the time to plan all that out?

4. How can eyeballs see things?

5. Where is the hair that grows out of your head stored? And is there just a ton of hair sitting on top of my brain?

6. Where does fat go when you lose it?

7. FaceTiming. I don't even know.

8. When the world decided money would be a thing, how did they decide how much everybody gets to start out with?

9. How weird is it that I can see your face, but you can't see your face, and I'll never see my face?

10. How are planes so heavy and full of people but can stay in the sky like a bird.

11. Going along with the bird thing, if birds have muscles, do their wings get sore from flapping around all the time?

12. Who did put the ram in the rama lama ding dong?

13. Are humans the only ones who can talk, or do dogs just think we're barking too?

14. Who got to name everything? And why did they get to do it?

15. Most importantly, does anyone know the answers to these questions?

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.
