Gibbs' Rules
Chandan Das

For 14 years Gibbs and his team at "NCIS" have taught us about life, family and Naval criminology. For those who watch NCIS you know about Gibbs' rules, and their importance to the show. So here, are Gibbs' rules compromised into one list.

1) Never screw (over) your partner.

2) Always wear gloves at a crime scene.

3) Don't believe what you're told: double check.

4) Never be unreachable.

5) You don't waste good.

6) Never say you're sorry. It's a sign of weakness.

7) Always be specific when you lie.

8) Never take anything for granted.

9) Never go anywhere without a knife.

10) Never get personally involved in a case.

11) When a job is done, walk away.

12) Never date a coworker.

13) Never, ever involve lawyers.

14) Bend the line, don't break it.

15) Always work as a team.

16) If someone thinks they have the upper hand, break it.

18) It's better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

20) Always look under.

22) Never, ever, interrupt Gibbs during interrogation.

23) Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live.

27) There are two ways to follow someone:

1st way - they never notice you.

2nd way - they only notice you.

28) If you need help, ask.

35) Always watch the watchers.

36) If it feels like you're being played, you probably are.

38) Your case, your lead.

39) There is no such thing as coincidence.

40) If it seems like someone's out to get you, they are.

42) Don't ever accept an apology from someone that just sucker-punched you.

44) First things first: hide the women and children.

45) Clean up your messes.

51) Sometimes - you're wrong.

62) Leave room for someone exiting the elevator.

69) Never trust a woman who doesn't trust her man.

70) Keep digging 'til you hit bottom.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
