Is it normal to be this confused?

25 Things That Really Confuse Me
thefeedingdoctor.com

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
