The Dumbest Trends of 2015

Forever wondering why.

The Dumbest Trends of 2015

As another year comes to a close, of course we have to look back at all of the worst trends that this year had to offer.

Man Buns

Some will say this is a good trend, 90% of people will say that they wish this would go away, myself included. The real question about the man bun is "why". Why would someone think that this was a good idea? Who looked at their grown out hair and thought, "you know what, I'm going to put it up into a bun" or looked at his girlfriend or sister's hair and thought, "you know what, me too." No more! Please for the sake of the children, stop.

And what about these clip in man buns? I'm not sure what's more cringeworthy, the fact that this exists or that there's at least 4 men out there who have bought this.


Hotline Bling

The phrase call me on my cell phone will never truly be the same. What started out as just another Drake song blew up over night and became an internet sensation. Now there's memes falling out of places you didn't even know existed.

Nothing was safe from this meme. Not Star Wars,

The Legend Of Zelda,

Pokemon,


not even Mario was safe.

Nothing is sacred anymore.

Vaping

Just smoke a real cigarette and get out of my face. This is one of the dumbest trends of 2015 right next to the man bun.

Getting offended over everything

Half the time I wonder if people just want a band wagon to jump on. Most things people have gotten offended over this past year are really minor every day things that we've been living with for most of our lives. Most of the time what people are getting offended about has nothing to do with their own lives at all and will never have anything to do with their lives. Anymore people go out of their way to look for things to get offended about.

Hover Boards

Not sure if this is just stupid or lazy. Honestly, probably both now that I think about it. This is a fairly new trend, but dumb all the same.

Glitter Beards

This is also a newly emerging trend that should probably sink back into the pits of Hell from in which it came. If you currently are sporting glitter in your facial hair right now, stop. For the love of everything that is good in the world, just stop. Leave the glitter to 5 year olds and sorority girls, please and thank you.

Jon Cena

At first this was funny, even if you don't get into wrestling. But, as the weeks drag on, Jon Cena can only make special appearances so many times before his theme song makes your ears bleed. Even now I can hear it haunting my thoughts.

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.
