Use. Your. Blinker.

Please use your blinker when you are turning or changing lanes!

Use. Your. Blinker.

During school months you can find me either at Chick Fil A or driving down the interstate, Monday through Friday and sometimes on Saturday. All I do during school months is drive. I am so tired of driving, I am sure that I drive enough for three people! And, I am sure that all of you know, anyone driving, that is not you, is crazy and doesn't know how to drive.

The thing that irritates me the most is when people do not use their blinkers. They're there for a reason people, not just for decoration. I remember one of the questions on my driving permit test was "How far/when do you turn on your blinker," I guess I was the only one that got that question because nine times out of ten no one uses their blinkers. I had someone this morning on the interstate swerve into my lane without warning, (translation: they DID NOT use their blinker!) If you're going to cut me off, at least use your blinker, common courtesy folks.

Another issue that could arise from not using your blinker, not being able to get over for road work. I am more apt to let someone over that is using a blinker because 1) they are letting me know that they want to change lanes and 2) they are USING their blinker! And I can understand not having it on if you are a "turn only" lane, but you best have used it to get over into that lane.

I hope that whoever is reading this has learned how important using their blinker is. It lets people know that you are changing lanes or that you are turning, and using it could stop a wreck from happening (because we know people like to swerve into other people's lanes!) So read this, internalize it, and USE. YOUR. BLINKER!

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.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

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.
