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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
