10 Worst Things In Life

The absolute worst things that I could think of

10 Worst Things In Life

1. Pedestrians

Think about it. When you live in a busy college town everyone is always in a rush to get somewhere as quickly as possible. The pedestrians (including myself) are absolutely the worst because we will walk as soon as all of the cars are out of sight. We do not care if you are trying to make a left turn when you have been waiting 2 full lights, we will still walk.

2. The paint that won't leave the brush

The moment after you finish painting a beautiful craft is such a satisfying moment filled with pride and excitement. However, as soon as you walk over to the sink to attempt to remove the paint from the brush, say goodbye to your happiness. Though a lot of the color does leave the bristles, there is always that paint that decides to burrow deep into the brush.

3. Books that can't keep themselves open

Books with new bindings are the best and worst things to ever exist. New books have such a wonderful smell (in my opinion) that can excite just about anyone. However, when it comes to laying new books out on a table for the first time, they refuse to stay open themselves. They just keep flopping closed while you are desperately trying to hold the two sides of the book open.

4. When dishes come out of the dishwasher still dirty

I think that sometimes people have a hard time understanding the concept of rinsing off dishes before they put them in the dishwasher. I know that in our apartment, every time we unload the dishwasher there will always be several dishes with large chucks of some type of food on it.

5. Glitter

This should be a given. Glitter is wonderful and beautiful and pretty when it stays on the craft. Glitter spreads like wildfire, there is no keeping things clean when you are working on a project that contains glitter. It will end up in your carpets, vacuum cleaner, and probably on someones car if you live in an apartment complex with a balcony like I do.

6. Traffic

This tends to go along with pedestrians, however when your car is surrounded by dozens of other cars that is when the rage really sets in. For some reason everyone decides to throw average driving courtesy out the window when they are stuck in traffic.

7. Men in flip flops

Sorry guys. I know that women are allowed to wear flip flops and it is completely acceptable however when your manly toes are shoved into these shoes, it freaks many women out. If this shoe happens to fit in with your style then that is fine but for the most part the answer should just be no.

8. School emails

Send me another email please. I understand that some emails (like testing the security system) are rather helpful but for the most part emails from my university end up clogging up my inbox.

9. Stubbing your toe

No greater pain comes from jamming your toes into the side of some type of furniture. Tears will form. Curse words will fly. And the pain will be real. Usually it takes a few days to heal which is just added pain that will continue to mock you for your lack of spacial awareness.

10. When your phone dies

You are on 20% and the little picture of the battery turns red and you can see the end in sight. The second my phone gives me the warning, I start to panic because usually I am no where near a phone charger. If I am near a charger my phone will stay on 1% for 2 hours, but the second I am far away, my phone will die sometime around 15%.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
