The Top 3 Things I Don't Get About People

Everyday Things that Make no Sense

The Top 3 Things I Don't Get About People
The Odyssey Online

There are many things about people my age that confuse me to no end. I often find myself wondering just why people do certain specific things pretty much every day. Here is a list of a few of those things:

1. Talking to Someone on their Cell Phone in a Public Bathroom

If people don't know it's being done, that's fine, but when you're talking to someone either normally or using speakerphone, that's when it gets weird. It's really weird when you're talking to someone on speakerphone because public bathrooms tend to make voices echo. If you're not alone, the other people in the bathroom are going to think that you're really strange and quite possibly gross. And I do believe that the person on the other end of the call can hear you in the bathroom, so that makes the situation weird and uncomfortable for them as well. It really makes no sense to me why people do this.

2. Insulting/Swearing at your Friends On Purpose

I couldn't have friends like this, I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. Apparently this is a norm among many friend groups, and I just don't understand why. Who is totally comfortable with calling a friend a 'b--ch' and laughing about it? It just makes no sense. If an outside observer heard that, they might think that you were having a fight with your friend or something. As comfortable as you are around your friends, I don't believe that swearing at and insulting each other is ever necessary.

3. Making Loud & Unnecessary Noise

I can understand screaming with joy after you see a friend you haven't seen in a while (though that's irksome as well), but screeching loud enough to echo down a hallway after you've only been apart for a few hours is simply ridiculous. On top of that, you can have conversations about something exciting at a normal noise level instead of shouting back and forth about it. I really don't understand people that feel the need to do this. You will get a lot of dirty looks from others if you're out in public doing 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.

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.
