Let's be honest, fidgeting can be extremely distracting and flat out annoying.


There is no denying it. The person next to you who has been clicking their pen for an hour straight or literally shaking the couch with their self-diagnosed restless leg syndrome is hard to ignore. If watching or listening to someone fidget is too much for you to handle, just think about how annoying and distracting the need to fidget is for them.

Those of you who struggle with ADHD or simply the inability to sit still know better than anyone that the inability to focus comes with the need to fidget...and it SUCKS. So, I can imagine, having people constantly telling you to stop the one behavior that allows you to focus and/or chill out only makes the whole thing even more frustrating.

Fidget spinners prove that fidgeting doesn't have to be a bad thing.

According to many recent studies, including a study published by psychopathology and behavioral science pro Dr. Mark Rapport, people with ADHD need to fidget a bit in order to perform to their full potential. It helps them to have something to put all of their restless energy into.

Not only do fidget spinners allow for this, but they allow for it in a subtle, non-distracting way. The toys are fun and helpful enough to keep fidgeters entertained and on task, yet subtle enough to keep those surrounding the fidgeter unbothered.

FidgetAway.com is soon to supply these toys and become any fidgeters new best friend.

The website FidgetAway.com is launching soon to supply these spinners to frustrated fidgeters everywhere. The helpful and popular gadgets are small enough to take practically anywhere, including classes, exams, and work. As a plus, they're not only for those who struggle with attention problems.

Fidget Away's founder makes a point to share that the invention seems to be helping people with all sorts of struggles. For example, similar to how they allow those with ADHD to focus their energy, the spinners also allow counselees to focus on the spinner rather than the difficult subjects at hand during their counseling sessions. It seems like new uses and benefits keep being discovered!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
