The 6 Actual Circles Of Hell

Dante was wrong.

If you've ever read Dante Alighieri's "Inferno" you have a pretty good understanding of what Hell is like... or so you thought. As it turns out, the nine circles Dante wrote about are completely fabricated from folklore. Perpetrators fear not as your obsessions with lust, greed, gluttony, etc., will not affect your afterlife experience. I recently took a spiritual journey to Hell in order to find out what REALLY lands you in there. Dante was right about one thing, there are different "circles" or layers of Hell, each tailored to a specific act of immorality. However, there are six circles, not nine.

1. The first circle is where country music fans are forced to an eternity of suffering.

I'm not talking about old-school country like Johnny Cash. I'm talking about the generic "I have two first names, a pick-up truck, and love to drink cheap beer" country music. Souls who are found guilty of genuinely enjoying this music must live in a Hell made by their own design. They have to sit through endless cycles of EDM concerts without alcohol or drugs of any sort. For all of eternity.

2. The second circle is for people who don't say "thank you" whenever someone holds the door for them.

These sinners are sentenced to a never-ending escalator ride in which there are signs saying "Salvation: 5 Minutes" placed to make them believe that their journey is almost done but in actuality, it's just a trick.

3. The third circle is for the stuck-up people of the world.

Those who think they are better than everyone else serve an eternity of getting ready for a fancy event or a night on the town. They put their best outfits together and KNOW how good they look. When they arrive at their destination, they are booed by everybody around them. Things like "You left the house looking like that? What, are you blind?" and "Hey buddy, you know you SUCK right?" are hollered at them while other members of the crowd throw rotten food and garbage at them.

4. The fourth circle is for people who sleep with their socks on (on purpose).

Once you are in this circle there is no return. These folks just walk around a room riddled with dirty, stinky socks.

5. The fifth circle is dedicated to the people who like "Hawaiian" style pizza.

You know, the real sickos out there who destroy God's most sacred creation by putting ham and pineapple on it. You can consider this to be a form of gluttony. They are actually sent back to earth, EXCEPT they come back severely lactose intolerant.

6. The worst of the worst are sent to the sixth circle of Hell.

This is where the people who do CrossFit end up. Don't let their seemingly excellent physique fool you, these people have chosen a life of vanity and self-importance. They are banished to a never ending series of "totally sick" workouts and afterward when they inevitably go to tell everyone about it, nobody listens.

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.

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.
