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 thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
