Everyday Things that Make no Sense

The Top 3 Things I Don't Get About People
The Odyssey Online

There are many things about people my age that confuse me to no end. I often find myself wondering just why people do certain specific things pretty much every day. Here is a list of a few of those things:

1. Talking to Someone on their Cell Phone in a Public Bathroom

If people don't know it's being done, that's fine, but when you're talking to someone either normally or using speakerphone, that's when it gets weird. It's really weird when you're talking to someone on speakerphone because public bathrooms tend to make voices echo. If you're not alone, the other people in the bathroom are going to think that you're really strange and quite possibly gross. And I do believe that the person on the other end of the call can hear you in the bathroom, so that makes the situation weird and uncomfortable for them as well. It really makes no sense to me why people do this.

2. Insulting/Swearing at your Friends On Purpose

I couldn't have friends like this, I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. Apparently this is a norm among many friend groups, and I just don't understand why. Who is totally comfortable with calling a friend a 'b--ch' and laughing about it? It just makes no sense. If an outside observer heard that, they might think that you were having a fight with your friend or something. As comfortable as you are around your friends, I don't believe that swearing at and insulting each other is ever necessary.

3. Making Loud & Unnecessary Noise

I can understand screaming with joy after you see a friend you haven't seen in a while (though that's irksome as well), but screeching loud enough to echo down a hallway after you've only been apart for a few hours is simply ridiculous. On top of that, you can have conversations about something exciting at a normal noise level instead of shouting back and forth about it. I really don't understand people that feel the need to do this. You will get a lot of dirty looks from others if you're out in public doing this.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
