Even if they have an explanation, they still confuse the general population.

Here's a list of completely random things that honestly make no sense. Even if they have an explanation, they still confuse the general population.

1. Why women's pockets are the way they are.

Seriously, you can't fit anything in them.

2. Why we park on the driveway.

Huh?

3. And why we drive on the parkway.

I repeat, huh????

4. Why "Carrie Diaries" was canceled.

Yes, it was cheesy, but it was a good kind of cheesy.


5. Why racism is still a thing.

Guys, it's 2017.

6. How finstas are fake, rinstas are real, but fiestas are the most real Instagrams I've seen.

Think about it. No filters. No staged photos. No cute captions. It's just people being real about their lives and posting poor quality photos that were taken amongst a billion "rinsta-worthy" ones.

7. Why New Jersey's been labeled the armpit of the United States.

If you've ever had our pork roll, bagels, and pizza, you'd be thinking differently.

8. Kansas and Arkansas.

Watch this, and you'll understand.

9. People's reactions after finding out James Cordon can sing.

He was in "Into the Woods," so I don't know where everyone has been.

10. How you could ignore a friend in pain.

It's simple, don't do it. Don't add to whatever pain they already have.

11. How mermaids go to the bathroom.

Someone answer this, please.

12. On the topic on mermaids, how did Aquamarine's hair properly cover her?

I could just imagine the film being like "There perfect, now don't move too much."

13. The ending of "Lost."

Y'all who watched this know exactly what I'm talking about.

14. How bumblebees can fly with such tiny wings.

15. Why there's a standard with girls and their sex lives.

If a girl wants sex, she's a whore. If she doesn't, she's a prude.

16. Why we celebrate getting closer to death.

Every birthday every year.

17. Why blondes are always the first to die in horror movies.

I'm not one for horror movies, but my friend is, and this seemed to bother them a lot.

18. Rubix Cubes.

I still don't understand them.

19. Why your dentist makes conversation with their hands shoved into your mouth.

"So, how was your vacation?" "Mrmgmhm Shuhsysemy Fhsmemoe" "Florida? Wow, that sounds amazing!"


It's 2017, so I feel like a lot of these should have answers or just shouldn't exist. Comment with anything that also confuses you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
