You Shouldn't Be Afraid To Own A Danger Noodle (AKA A Snake)

As someone who has recently become fascinated with owning my own danger noodle (snake) AND someone who has been attacked by a snake in the wild, I can understand why people are afraid of snakes in general.

Snakes are predatory animals, and bothering them in the wild can get you bitten. But snakes in domesticated settings can make GREAT pets that are incredibly docile and even loving! Snakes do not lunge to be spooky, evil devil-noodles: most of the time you have spooked them, or they think something like your hand in their enclosure could be food.

Believe me, I have been converted into a lover of these spook-noodles, and you can be, too!

First of all, many danger noodles love to be petted.

Check out this little ball python having a cuddle. Ball pythons are incredibly docile snakes, and make for great companions as they often enjoy (or at least tolerate) handling.

They have sweet puppy faces, like THIS sweet blinky baby.

He wants to give ya a lil' sniff. Doesn't his face remind you of your dog welcoming you home?

They know how to keep up on the latest fashion trends. Check out this dapper lil' western hognose!

They struggle with identity and existential crisis just like humans do.

They can pancake.

And yes, it is true that snakes can bite their owners, but more often they will "bluff strike," where they will lunge as if trying to bite but are just telling you to back off.

But take heart! If you are bitten by a danger noodle, most snakes that can live in your home are NOT poisonous and just require cleaning with soap and water and putting on a band aid.

Most of the time your snake would rather be given you a snug than a bite.

So to close, snakes are not creatures that just want to bite and be mean to you. They are introverted, shy little fellas who just want a good snug every now and then (which is probably while I love them so much).

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

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.

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.
