We shouldn't expect our parents to be as tech-savvy as us. They have other things on their plate. Besides, it's a little bit funny and enjoyable watching them use their iPhones.

Here are five things parents just don't seem to understand about iPhones.

1. She blinds people with the flashlight.

When I go to a restaurant with my family I find that my mom is always blinding half the restaurant with her iPhone flashlight because she can't see the menu. There needs to be some kind of "menu flashlight" that's a bit more dim than usual.

2. She zooms in for everything.

I wish it was possible, but no dad, you can't zoom in on Jeff's Facebook status.

3. She accidentally likes Instagram photos I show her.

Showing your parents a photo of someone from a while ago can probably trigger their "accidental liking syndrome." You've probably experienced accidental liking syndrome firsthand if one of your parents liked a picture of your crush from six years ago.

4. She never calls back.

Mom: "I'll call you back"

*five hours later*

No call back. I have to chase her.

5. I have to call my mom to have her check my texts.

I'll text my mom something urgent like "Oh I just got bit by a seizing rabid raccoon" and she won't answer me unless I call her. I have to call her to say mom check your texts.

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.

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.
