10 Things More Disturbing Than The 'World's Ugliest Color'

Because with all the violence in the world, there's obviously nothing else newsworthy.

10 Things More Disturbing Than The 'World's Ugliest Color'
http://designbycoffee.com/

So I was scrolling through my numerous social media feeds, like I always do, when I was hit with multiple (and I do mean multiple) articles about "The Ugliest Color on Earth." Apparently, despite the rampant violence sweeping the country, and the rest of the world for that matter, the most important thing that's happening right now is Pantone's 448 C has been named the "world's ugliest color."

Let me just save you the curiosity and show you this "monstrosity." (You should be warned that multiple people found this color highly offensive and I will not be held responsible for any physical or mental harm that may come with viewing this color.)

Here it is. Pantone's 448 C, or what most people would call "olive green." Not only is this color just another color and not an actual threat to anyone, but contrary to popular belief, I think this color is nice (not that that actually matters either).

Now, as I previously mentioned, multiple publications have decided this color is newsworthy. Among many other things, they have referred to this color as "repulsive," "offensive," and even "disturbing," so I've taken it upon myself to come up with a list of current events and general truths that actually deserve the use of those very adjectives.

1. Reputable publications, with huge followings, are using their reach to talk about something as meaningless as this color, as opposed to the other topics on this list.

2. Christina Grimmie was murdered at her own concert on June 11, 2016

Even though you can't bring a water bottle into a venue, it is somehow okay to bring in a gun.

3. A child was attacked and ultimately drowned by an alligator at Disney

His parents clearly had something better to do than watch their child.

4. The largest mass shooting in America took place this week at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando

Forty-nine people lost their lives due to hate, prejudice, and (again) the ability to get a gun into a very public place. Additionally, because of this shooting, Islamophobia is becoming more of an epidemic in America.

5. Racism is still a thing.

6. Homelessness is a very, very real thing

About 564,708 people experience homelessness on any given night, according to The National Alliance to End Homelessness.

7. Human trafficking still happens.

Even in America.

8. Humans are not only killing off each other, we're also killing off animals

There are 17 critically-endangered species in the world followed by pages upon pages of endangered species.

9. The LGBTQ Community still is unable to donate blood.

That ban may be lifted soon, however.

10. Donald Trump may actually become the next President of the United States.

But who am I kidding, the fact that people are "offended" by olive green is clearly more important than the fact that the world we live in is so full of hate and ignorance.

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.
