21 Silly But Terrifying Fears That Everyone Must Have Because I Can't Be The Only One

1. Spiders

I mean, I just don’t understand how anyone can like spiders in the first place. If I find one in my room, and I lose it before I can kill it, I’m not sleeping in my room for at least three weeks.

2. Ventriloquist dolls

I don’t really know where this fear began. But it’s become so bad, that I cry every time I see one in person.

3. Being alone

Many people fear death, or how they’re going to die. I fear being alone towards the end of my life.

4. Deep bodies of water

Pools, Oceans, Rivers, I don’t care. They’re could be a shark just waiting to grab you.

5. Failure

Success always seems right in my reach. Sometimes, I get scared that I’m just going to miss it.

6. Being unhappy

My happiness is the most important.

7. Rejection

You know when you get turned down so badly, to the point where you just want to crawl in bed, and not be seen ever again? Yeah. I hate that:

8. Heights

Swinging on a swing set, or standing on a roof. Just never a good feeling.

9. Drowning

For some people, this may seem like the dumbest fear. But I can’t swim, so I think it’s pretty fitting.

10. Embarrassment

Something that happens to me daily.

11. Not being able to have kids

If someone tells you that you can’t do, or have something, you want it so much more.

12. The dark

I can deal with it. I just don’t like it.

13. Loving someone who doesn’t love me back

I don’t want to waste my time, like I have in the past.

14. True love

Is it even out there?

15. The future

You know when someone asks you if you could see into your future, would you? I wouldn’t.

16. Pollution

The world is slowly dying. And it’s the scariest thing.

17. Racist people

How can I, and why would I, change who I am?

18. Being buried alive

Even if you somehow managed to claw your way out, you’d run out of air before you could save yourself.

19. Extinction of plants and animals

The world is beautiful. We really don’t deserve it.

20. A bug going in my ear while I’m sleeping at night

Please. Just no.

21. Being kidnapped by a creepy Uber driver

You know right away whether it will be a good uber driver, or a creepy one.

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Huffington Post

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."
