11 Things That Don't Make Any Sense Whatsoever

Sometimes you just have to go with it.

11 Things That Don't Make Any Sense Whatsoever
Zimbio

1. Rudeness

What is the point of being rude to someone? Someone please explain it to me because I honestly don’t get it. I also honestly don’t understand when someone goes out of their way to be rude to one. Like do you not have something better to do? If not, then please find something because one’s rudeness is unwanted.

2. Standardized Tests

Like, come on. Why do I have to sit in a room for hours on end praying I do well? Like, sorry not all of us are amazing testers or unreal guessers.

3. Electoral College

Why do we need this? Why doesn’t the popular vote automatically win? For everyone’s vote to actually count, then the popular vote needs to win. It makes no sense how one can win an election but lose in popularity…

4. Grammar

Semicolon versus a colon. Like the only difference I see is that a semicolon has a comma in it. Why can we sometimes use a fragment for artistic style but other times it's shunned?

5. Tears

Why do tears come out of your eyes when you’re happy and sad? Does your body just go, “Oh, this is a good time for water to come out of you…” Like why? What do tears have to do with my mental mood?

6. Stress

This society could live without stress. Stress causes unneeded emotional drama. It causes our hair to turn gray way earlier than predicted.

7. Bobby Pins

They do not work. They can’t tame any of your hair. If you’re lucky you could get a single hair to be held back by a bobby pin. But most of the time you can not even get the single hair to fit in the bobby pin.

8. Black Friday

I have been one of those crazy shoppers who went to Black Friday. However, these Black Friday “deals” do not exist. They are no better than holiday deals or random seasonal deals.

9. Crocs

What are their purpose? People wear them in the water, okay. But in the winter…how are they going to help? The snow is going to go through the holes and into the crocs… like what is the point?

10. Pizza without toppings

What is the point of eating pizza? It is just cheese and tomato. How is that a good combination?

11. Folding Clothes

Why do you have to fold them? You are just going to be digging through your drawers anyways…The clothes are going to get messed up in the drawer anyway.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
