25 Things That Really Confuse Me

To be honest, I am confused a lot. Maybe I abuse the phrase, "I'm confused", but most of the time it's true. I'm usually confused, or just dumb. I don't really know. Anyway, here are some things that confuse me regularly. Some things I just can't seem to wrap my head around. Please tell me that I am not alone. I can't seem to comprehend...

1. Why shopping at Walmart is far less socially acceptable by people my age than shopping at Target is.

2. Why some people don't drink hot coffee and only drink iced coffee.

3. Why some people don't drink coffee at all.

4. Why there are people that don't believe transgendered people deserve the same rights that cisgendered people have.

5. Why bras cost so much money.

6. Why the planet just doesn't fall.

7. Why my professors haven't kicked me out of class yet for asking ridiculous existential questions.

8. Why my friends still take me seriously as an adult while I discuss unicorns.

9. Why cars just can't drive themselves yet.

10. Why Kim Kardashian gets paid more money than I'll ever see in my life to just show up places.

11. Why no one taught me how life works while I was still in high school.

12. Why no one corrected me when I was certain that Oceanspray brand products were only sold at Ocean State Job Lot.

13. Why eating gluten-free has become a trend.

14. Why all jeans don't have elastic waistbands.

15. Why clothing designers think fake pockets are okay.

16. Why acne can't go away overnight.

17. Why wearing gray on gray is so wrong.

18. Why some people will order the most complicated thing on the Starbucks menu while only one barista is working and there are 20 people in line behind them.

19. Why nail polish chips so quickly.

20. Why some people think that being gay is wrong.

21. Why sexism is still going on in 2016.

22.Why bootcut jeans aren't in style anymore.

23. Why it was cool to attend and host sweet sixteen birthday parties at night clubs.

24. Why dogs dying in movies makes me more sad than people dying in movies.

25. Why shaving your legs once doesn't last forever.

I'm confused and I need answers. Maybe some of the things I am confused about don't deserve answers or don't have definite answers. At the least, please just reassure me that everyone is confused by at least five of these things too. Or else I may have to remove myself from society and start an underground world where I am confused in solitude.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
