These are some things I'll never ever do again:

1. I’ll never squirt ketchup directly onto my hotdog again without shaking the bottle prior to the squirting.

I could go my whole life without ketchup juice and I’m sure we can all agree.

2. I’ll never grab a hot pan with my bare hands again. I probably will.

3. I’ll never buy off-brand Oreo’s again.

4. I’ll never drink Burnetts Vodka.

You're really getting what you pay for when you pay $7 for an entire fifth.

5. I’ll never “test” the expired milk again.

6. I’ll never stay signed onto my Facebook on a friend's computer/phone.

7. I’ll never buy the Family Dollar “single ply” bath tissue.

8. I’ll never procrastinate on a major assignment.

It's something I've had to learn over time but if you turn in crap work you're going to receive a crap grade.

9. I’ll never fight via texting/social media.

Save the drama and don't waste your time.

10. I’ll never drink (2) Monster energy drinks back to back ever again.

There are too many reasons why you shouldn't drink one of these.

11. I’ll never keep someone in my life who treats me horribly.

I refuse to waste time on those who could care less about me.

12. I’ll never buy off brand q-tips.

Ouch.

13. I’ll never risk it and “try and make it to the gas station” again.

14. I’ll never change for anyone.

I'm awesome.

15. I’ll never try and change someone else.

You can't change those who don't want change.

16. I’ll never give that overly friendly guy my real number again.

17. I’ll never go to the Whiskey Barrell again.

Not only because it's terrible but because it's closed for business.

18. I’ll never box-dye my hair. Again, I probably will.

19. I’ll never leave my purse at Tim Hortons.

20. I’ll never leave my purse at Subway.

21. I’ll never leave my purse unattended again.

I'm starting to notice a trend.

22. I’ll never be quiet.

I'm a journalist. It's my job to speak for those who cannot be heard. I refuse to stay silent.

23. I’ll never judge someone based on their appearance.

24. I’ll never watch Wolf Of Wall Street with my dad again.

25. I’ll never care what people think.

It's true when they say life is so much easier when you stop caring so much about what others think about you.

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.

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.
