There are a few things in this world which I feel are kind of unnecessary. The first thing that comes to mind is a new craze that has hit SMU like a tidal wave. They are called 'Silly Bandz' and in case you haven't gotten a chance to see them or the ridiculous people wearing them, they are colorful rubber bands molded into shapes of various things: guitars, octopus, van, cat etc. Now I am not one to bash things with an actual purpose, such as normal rubber bands when used for their intended purpose. But these 'Silly Bandz' are not used for a functional purpose, instead people have started wearing them on their wrists, and not just one, multiple bands all of different colors and such. More power to the inventors of these absurd.....things, because I am sure they are doing quite well for themselves right now. The other thing that really bugs me because of its impracticality is fire drills. Come on, who the hell doesn't know how to exit a building they have been in for weeks? Personally if there is a fire, there is no way in hell I am casually strolling down the hall to the stairwell. It is pointless because no one reacts the same to a drill as they would in the occurrence of an actual fire. As far as I am concerned, it is every man for himself and I am going to make sure that I am not the last one out of that blazing building.
