Visiting Austin should be considered a waste of time. No natural beauty or cool music what a shame. Here are 11 reasons not to visit Austin, Texas.

1. The scenery is not pretty

Rolling hills and natural lakes and creeks make for pretty ugly scenery.

2. The sunsets are ugly

Sunsets over the Austin skyline is blahh.

3. Going out is such a bore

It's not like 6th Street is known for it's fun bars and crazy nightlife. It's pretty boring.

4. UT is not a fun place

Located in the middle of Austin makes this University not fun at all. Not to mention that the football games have almost no fans show up :/

5. The food sucks

Franklin's BBQ, Torchy's Tacos, Gordough's, and Matt's El Rancho are definitely not worth the trip.

6. The shopping sucks too

With South Congress, copious amounts of thrift stores and boutiques, and The Domain, Austin shopping is pretty sub-par.

7. There are no good music festivals here

Not like ACL gets some of the best headliners in the world to show up for two weeks.

8. Austin isn't dog friendly at all

No parks for you and your pup to hangout at! Sorry!

9. The lake is no fun

Tubing and sipping on a cold beer sounds like a miserable summer day.

10. There's nothing to do outside

The Greenbelt has pretty much no hiking trails or pretty scenery. Just a bunch of rocks.

11. The people aren't nice anyway

No friendly people here! Try Houston.

Sorry ATX, not visiting anytime soon!

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
