Will we ever find our answers?

Unanswered Questions

Every day, we ask questions, and we get answers. But what about the ones that are impossible to answer? The ones we don't normally think about every day, but once they're brought about, there is no ending point—no definite or known answer. With these kinds of questions, we somehow just have to deal with the fact that there is no real answer to them.

1. Do fish sleep?

2. Why do people say heads up when you should duck?

3. How did one even come up with numbers, days, months, the alphabet...?

4. Who or what really created the universe?

5. Are there other universes out there?

6. If water spins clockwise when it drains in the northern hemisphere, and water spins counterclockwise when it drains in the southern hemisphere...which way does it spin at the equator?

7. Why is the abbreviation for pound "lb." when neither l or b is in the word pound?

8. Why is it we have the weight of the world on our shoulders, but have to get it off our chests?

9. If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

10. Do we control our own fate, or is it predestined for us?

11. Does everything really happen for a reason?

12. Is God real?

13. What ever happened to an E grade?

We have A, B, C, D, and F, but no E.

14. Why are they called goosebumps? What do geese get?

15. Who was the person that decided to just start drinking from a cow?

16. Which came first—the chicken or the egg?

17. How does one create color? How do the color pigments form?

18. If you try to fail and succeed, what did you just do?

19. If all cars arrive at the same exact time at a four-way stop sign, who goes first?

20. Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?

21. If you're in hell, and are mad at someone, where do you tell them to go?

22. If a chronic liar tells you he is a chronic liar, do you believe him?

23. Why is a #2 pencil the most popular pencil to use?

24. How do we hear our thoughts?

25. If you're doing nothing, aren't you still doing something?

Now, some of these are definitely debatable and based on beliefs, but for the most part, are there really certain answers for any of these questions? Maybe we'll never know...

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.

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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

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!
