14 Problems That Can't Be Fixed By Drinking Water

We all know that consistently drinking water is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. Water has been known to help cure headaches, chapped lips, and even kidney stones! While simply drinking water is one of the most commonly prescribed “medications” for many health and beauty issues, it’s important to note that some issues that are most commonly misconceived to be solvable by drinking water alone.

1. Acne

While drinking water definitely helps to moisturize the skin, there is no direct correlation of water curing acne on its own.

2. Wrinkles

This is a related and commonly believed myth. Again, while water is good for your skin, it cannot reverse already-present wrinkles.

3. Hair length

It’s a common misconception that water will make your hair grow faster. I’m here to tell you that’s a myth.

4. Paper cuts

You read that right! Water will not speed up the healing of a paper cut. You’ll just have to wait his one out and let it heal itself.

5. Eye color

Blue eyes are one of the most sought-after beauty staples, but drinking water will not turn your brown eyes blue.

6. Height

That’s just up to your DNA.

7. Broken bones

Please see a doctor!

8. Bra size

Sorry, that’s just 100% not where the water goes.

9. An STD

Sorry, bud. This is going to warrant a trip to the doctor as well.

10. GPA

While it’s true that drinking water can help you focus when studying, it’s not going to raise your GPA overnight.

11. Existential crises

Maybe try meditation? Or therapy?

12. Daddy issues

Therapy for sure.

13. Your relationship status

Unless you plan on running into your soulmate at the water fountain, I would suggest a different method.

14. Frequent urination

I hate to tell you that it’s only going to get worse.

Go forth and hydrate responsibly.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
