This article is for comedic purposes, but sometimes when my wallet starts looking empty, I feel like I really need to do half of these things...

1. Grab as many condiment and sugar packets as you can when you go out to eat.

Don't leave ANY at your table. At all.

2. When you go around the food court for free samples, switch clothing with your friends and go around again.


They probably won't notice anyway.

3. Before a date, go to Sephora, have them do their free makeover on you.

That $5 in gas is far less expensive than that $12 eyeliner...plus the $10 mascara...plus the $20 eyeshadow...etc.

4. Put your baby siblings in Gerber commercials.

All they have to do is eat, and who doesn't like to do that?

5. Remember to occasionally shout, "It's my money, and I need it now!"

JG Wentworth will hear you eventually.

6. When you go out to eat, ask for water with extra lemons and make lemonade.

You can even add sugar to it, since the sugar packets are free!

7. Use Canadian coins at soda machines.

The machine can't tell the currency difference, only the size.

8. Put a timer for 10 minutes to spend at the grocery store.

You have to only get what you need and leave. No getting side tracked and buying things you don't need!

9. Stand around Best Buy for a couple of hours to watch one of their sample movies.

They always have relatively new movies on too!

10. Go to any and every school event.

It really makes you look like a leader in your college's community, and you get free food.

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.

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.
