Why Do These 7 Things Exist?

The pocket on the inside of your underwear, what the crap is that for?

Why Do These 7 Things Exist?

There are "things" in the world that just shouldn't exist and are very unnecessary. These seven things are pretty much pointless, but also not harmless. But, why do they exist?

1. Raisons.

One word: DEEEEEGUSTING. Honestly, who sits there and says, "I want some raisons today for a snack." Prunes and purple are just two things that should never go together. Raisons ruin everything! Oatmeal RAISON cookies. Cinnamon RAISON bagels. Chocolate covered RAISONS. Take out the raison in all of these foods and they get 20 times yummier. The only other type of grape food you should snack on is candy or wine. Period.

2. The pocket on the inside of your underwear.

I know we have all thought of this before. It is not useful, but it's also not uncomfortable. But, just...why?

3. At least 17 years of school.

Kindergarten, five years of elementary school, three years of middle school, four years of high school, four years of college, and if you decide to do more school, that could be 20 years or more of school. Shake my head, 17 years of school and I am only this smart? I should be a genius right now.

4. Two dollar bills.

Good collectables, but we don't really need them. We already have enough worthless coins lying around everywhere. Why do we need more to keep track of?

5. Crayons.

Crayons are one of the most frustrating things to exist. They break if you barely push on them and half the time the color barely shows up. Colored pencils and markers exist for a reason people!

6. Chopsticks.

Seriously, think about this. Two sticks or a fork. I say, the faster I can get the food into my mouth, the better.

7. Fitness tests.

Enough said.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
