13 Times Infomercials Blew Our Minds

Now, I don't know about you, but I find infomercials to be very entertaining. If you have at least a semi-sarcastic sense of humor like me, you can find the life lessons hidden within these informercials.

Here are some things that I learned that simply blew my mind:

1) A messy house is a dangerous house.

Hey, you never know when you'll trip over a toy truck and smash right into a glass table. Things happen.

2) Camping with family is the best kind of camping.

Can I get a "what, what?"

3) Wearing the color white during a meal is oftentimes not a good idea:

Even adults know the struggle.

4) Things that come out of boiling water are usually hot:

Sometimes, you just have to learn things the hard way.

5) Carrying approximately 1,000 things at once is not a good idea:

Taking multiple trips from point A to point B sounds like too much work. I know, I know.

6) Beauty isn't pain... it's weirdness:

I have no words.

7) There is no such thing as invading someone's personal space in the name of cleanliness:

Just take out that pocket-sized vacuum and do your thing, you clean freak, you.

8) Cats are obviously the worst:

But we already knew that.

9) Pocket-less pants DO exist:

Darn it. If only there was a thing you could put your phone in that loops over your shoulder in a fashionable manner. Hmm...

10) Storing tupperware isn't as hassle-free as one may think:

11) You can put on deodorant with a blindfold on:

Oh, joy!

12) Curly hair is just comical.

Hair, you silly goose!

13) Cutting a loaf of bread with a door stop will not yield positive results:

Wait . . . I was sure that this is what they're made for.


People say that you learn something new every day, but I say, learn 13 new things TODAY and save yourself some time.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
