Top 3 Most Embarrassing Places To Get Stuck In Quicksand

Everyone knows that quicksand is the biggest threat to a college student. Every day I worry that I'll fall into a pit of quicksand and get stuck. Fortunately, new safety laws make it so colleges have to place warning signs next to all known quicksand, but sometimes the groundskeepers forget. It's so embarrassing to be stuck in the quicksand, and no one will ever help me get out, so I struggle and just get stuck even further. Here are my 3 least favorite places to get lost in the abyss of the quicksand.

3. On a Dinner Date

How am I supposed to enjoy my fettuccine alfredo when my feet are slowly sinking deeper into a cavern of non-newtonian fluid? Honestly, dating is hard enough as it is, I don't need the added pressure of mud slowly forcing me deeper into the ground. The last time this happened, I got walked out on once when I was neck deep in the quicksand, and it was SO embarrassing! Definitely one of the worst dates I've ever been on. Ugh!

2. At The Bowling Alley

I consider myself a great bowler. One of the best. But I can't show off my sweet follow-through if my legs are in quicksand. This happens every third or fourth time I go bowling, and it really puts a damper on my game. I've never bowled over an 86 in the quicksand, and everyone points and laughs at me everywhere I go.

1. At The Quicksand Store

Honestly, this is the worst. Whenever I'm at the quicksand store and I get stuck, everyone immediately knows that I'm an inexperienced quicksand user, and this makes me the laughing stock of the whole village. I wouldn't wish this embarrassment upon my worst enemy because you can't save your reputation in the quicksand community with a flub like this.

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.
