​Country Music Hurts My Ears​, And 14 Other Hot Takes That Are 100 Percent Valid

Crooning and melodramatic songs just aren't my style, SORRY.

 Society has become way too sensitive.

Sorry not sorry, but some people really need to hear this: it's beyond great that we live in a world now where we can share our opinions and be who we want to be in a mostly judge-free zone. But shoving those views down other people's throats and getting easily offended just because of a misuse of word choice is getting a little out of control.

"Parks and Recreation" > "The Office"

Giphy

Unpopular opinion, but the wholesome-ness of Leslie Knope and the iconic character of Ron Swanson beat out Dunder Mifflin by just a smidge in my book.

Heavy and/or colorful makeup isn't all that pretty-looking.

Neutral colors and more natural-looking makeup is WAY more beautiful from my perspective, but you can never go wrong with an appropriate bold eye!

 My birthday actually makes me feel a certain kind of sad.

Giphy

Ever since I was little I've had a feeling of pure sadness in the pit of my stomach every time my special day rolls around. It's kind of morbid to think about, but it's true nonetheless.

 Soda isn't tasty.

I can honestly live without it... I didn't grow up with soda, so maybe that's why I feel this way. I literally have only tasted Sprite and ginger ale, for the record.

 You shouldn't move out right after college.

Giphy

Save. Your. Money. and spend some quality time with mom and dad. Your nice apartment, the travel vlogs and all the pillows you can buy will come soon enough.

 Decaf coffee is just as important as regular coffee.

For a 20-year-old girl who physically can't handle regular coffee or cold brew, decaf is an awesome substitute for the good stuff.

Hard-boiled eggs look super gross.

Giphy

I will NEVER try them. Period.

 Sony shouldn't give Disney/Marvel their 50/50 Spider-Man deal.

I can go on and on about the tug-of-war that my favorite fictional character is going through right now, but all I can say is that Sony shouldn't be the one to blame. You have pretty much the whole media market under your domain, Disney. Share some of the wealth for once (literally).

 Country music is not enjoyable.

Giphy

I believe all films, TV and music are subjective, but I do think my stance on the country genre is that it's not my cup of tea. I do, however, like some songs like "Girl Crush" by Little Big Town and "Speechless" by Dan+Shay.

 You CAN have breakfast for dinner.

There is nothing wrong with having some of the best foods in the world at a different time of day - it's still a meal, after all!

 Majors shouldn't be decided before going to college.

Giphy

Even certain high schools have students declare a major of choice before going to college. While focusing on a specific interest is very exciting and interesting, I think a major should be declared after a bit of exploring. After all, it can save time and some money in the long run.

 You don't have to add salt to every meal you eat.

I didn't really grow up with a salt and pepper shaker being added to the dinner table every night; rather, it was in the cabinet. This may sound crazy, and I love salt as much as the next person, but you shouldn't add extra to a dish - it's just more calories and it makes it less wholesome.

 Paper straws are useless.

Giphy

I'm all for making the world a cleaner and safer place, but paper straws do nothing for us. They're pretty annoying, actually - am I wrong?

 Little kids shouldn't have phones or iPads.

Maybe it's a generational thing, but children should not be exposed to blue light and the world of social media early on. Honestly, this one should be a law.

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.
