15 Revealed Stereotypes from Little House on the Prairie
Little House Wikia

We all have seen and adored the 1970s show adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House book series. Now we have the opportunity to revisit the series and observe the characters' tendencies, which undoubtedly pertain to individuals in our own daily encounters.

Drum roll, please.

1. The Humorist

It will work out Half-Pint. I promise. And if it doesn't, we can laugh about it.

2. The Blabbermouth

Are you ready to hear the newest scandal from the self-indulgent, middle-aged debutante?

3. The Boyfriend Thief

Cooking one "home-cooked" meal at a time.

4. The Hottie

Making farmers jealous for decades.

5. The Dreamer

Little Red Riding Hood. Braids and all.

6. The Perfect Sibling

Perfect hair. Perfect eyes. Perfect teeth. Perfect hair. Perfect complexion. Perfect grades. Perfect hair. Perfect attitude. Did I mention perfect hair?

7. The Counselor

Shoot for the stars. Follow your heart. Write a series about our family.

8. The Considerate Instructor

Introducing the Mary Poppins of Minnesota.

9. The Outlandish Teacher

I guess she inherited her family's ugly genes.

10. The Bladder

Viewers were not sure whether Carrie had a medical condition or merely a fetish for wooden outhouses.

11. The Rebel

Hey, hey, hey, it's Rad Albert!

12. The Singing Drunk

Remember "Old Dan Tucker"? Sure you do. Go on. Sing it.

13. The Puppet

Poor Nels.

14. The Peacekeeper

Delivering a convenient sermon during every major crisis in Walnut Grove.

15. The Bribed

Candy kept Willie quiet from revealing his sister's dirty secrets... Yet he always ended up in the corner at school.

So now that we have examined the characters' impulses, I have a question for you: which feature best describes you?

Once you have answered this question, it is paramount to recognize that without the other personalities in the show (or in your own daily occurrences), life would be monotonous.

With this in mind, we are called to pray for the blabbermouths and boyfriend thieves; to eat lunch with the dreamers, humorists, and rebels; and to be mindful of the hotties, "perfect" siblings, teachers, bladders, singing drunks, puppets, and bribed individuals (they most likely do not "have it all together"). By doing this, we are able to make this "little earth within the galaxy" an improved dwelling place, by becoming counselors and peacekeepers.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
