Do we really need that much ranch?

5 Things We Can Buy That We Really Shouldn't
Digg.com

Christmas time is just around the corner, and hey, gift ideas are hard to come by. I'm here to tell you this list is not Christmas gift worthy and shouldn't be purchased at any time in the following weeks. I'm not ashamed to admit I've gotten some crazy things off of Amazon before.

For example, I've purchased a perm in a box, a deep neck one-piece swimsuit I've never worn in public because everything would fall out, and wigs because I got too deep into YouTube and thought I could pull it off like those wondrous women in those videos. Safe to say I wasted a lot of money on things I thought would be useful but weren't, and here is a list of things no one in their right mind should ever buy.

1. You Can Now Buy a Keg of Ranch

 

 

First off, we all know ranch is great, but do we really need a keg size amount? Even for a party this is a bit excessive. This is enough ranch to bathe in or even recreate a wrestling match with instead of using jello.

 

2. A Handheld Egg Cracker/Separator


 

Seriously!? Who doesn’t know how to crack an egg? This is the silliest thing I’ve ever seen. There is no point in owning this contraption unless you only have one hand and physically can’t open an egg by yourself.

3. A light to put in your toilet to make it glow


 

Okay…I get that walking to the bathroom in the dark is a task, but I’m more terrified of illuminating the bacteria and grime that builds up in there. I don’t really want to scare off any visitors with lighting up the stains in my toilet. Especially if I haven’t gotten around to cleaning it yet.

 

4. Hitch-Mounted Stripper Pole

 

 

What person comes up with this stuff? I mean, it’s not safe to use, and would someone really wear heels up on that thing? The only time I could think of someone using this is when they’re really drunk. If that’s the case, it’s probably a really dangerous thing to own which can incite some extremely stupid ideas.

 

5. Flavored Lickable Wallpaper


We all love Willy Wonka and his amazing tasty wallpaper idea, but in reality, this is just unsanitary. How many people do you think licked this wall? It’s the equivalent of catching a disease from public toilets, it's just gross.

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.
