And not in the way you think.

Someone's Political Views Can Tell You A Lot About Them

Let me begin with this: I'm not attacking your political views, or anyone's political views. Politics seem to bring out the worst in people, and tons of people will think you're picking on them and their views.

I'm not around for it.

It doesn't matter if someone supports Trump or Hillary, or maybe they're still waiting for Bernie to make a comeback. Regardless, it really doesn't matter who they're supporting. But, their political views could tell you a ton about them. And no, I don't mean whether or not they support the LGBTQ community or abortions.

It's all in the way they present their views.

There's a fine line between someone saying, "I'm a Trump supporter and here are my reasons why," and a person saying, "You're a disgusting human being for following Trump." We should all support each other and respect each other's views.

Think about some of the political posts you've come across on Facebook, and other social media. Some of it is full of people battling each other. Is it really necessary?

To me, the answer is no. It's not necessary to bully someone for their political beliefs. It's not necessary to key a car because it has a sticker on it that supports a specific candidate. These are the types of things that show someone's true colors.

So yes, someone's political views can say a whole lot about them.

Do they really care about our country and our future, or are they just about judging people based on their beliefs? Politics bring out an ugly side in most people, but we have to realize that children and young adults are still looking up to you and your actions.

Would they approve of the way you present your political beliefs?

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. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
