12 Things I Will Never Understand

1: Not flushing the toilet


Okay this one always stumps me. Like how do you forget to just flush the toilet? Or how do you consciously just walk out of a public restroom stall without flushing, leaving it behind for someone else.

2: The "hanger straps" they put on shirts that don't need them

I hope the people that put these pointless straps on TANK TOPS are realizing that they are just wasting material. If a top already has straps why would you go add two more?

3: The fact that instagram still won't let you see if someone follows you back

With as often as instagram has updates you would think this would be a simple feature to add. And I know they aren't worried about "copying" twitter, I mean look what they did to snapchat

4: The obsession with the snapchat dog filter

I'm not saying I don't use it. But if 14/15 times you take a selfie you have a dog nose, ears and tongue sticking out, you might as well invest in a costume to wear all the time

5: walking down the wrong direction in a crowded place

This is the most unnecessary action. This does nothing but irritate the people who have to move out of your way. Foot traffic or street traffic should always keep right.

6: The 140 character limit on tweets


Where did the 140 number come from anyway? Why didn't they pick like 200 or something. Maybe some of us want to type out the full "and" in some tweets instead of having to sub the symbol or spell out "you" like we are somewhat educated.

7: Why Apple took the AUX port out of the IPhone 7

I guess apple just expects that we're in a world now where everything is bluetooth but I must say my head phones and 2008 car do not agree.

8: Why Walmart has 40 lanes but only 6 are open at a time


It can't be that hard for half the employees that are just roaming the store to "help customers" (let's be real for a sec... who actually goes to Walmart without any idea of what they want or where to find it) to run a cash register and help with all the traffic jam of carts piling up behind check out lines.

9: Why Pinterest DIYs never turn out as good as the original

I just don't understand how a DIY can turn out so perfectly for one person and then when any other normal person tries to recreate it, they fail miserably. I think instead of "Do it yourself" we should entitle it "Don't it yourself".

10: Applying for a job but you must already have experience with it

How can an employer expect you to have experience with something when you can't even get the job in order to have the experience?

11: "Morning" people

I must say I have much respect for the people who can hop out of bed bright and early with a smile on their face and a positive attitude. I on the other hand need to go atleast an hour with no one talking to me and take that hour to get some coffee in my system in order to function like a half decent human being.

12: Boys

And they say we're hard to understand...

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
