10 Annoying Life Situations

Sometimes we have bad days; sometimes we have good days. Some days are a rollercoaster of emotions that make you wonder why you ever tried doing anything, ever. Yet, all of us are suffering or gaining from different situations. I recognize that the following list is one of First World problems. There are far too many people who do not have the opportunities or the tools to live the same lifestyle a lot of us can enjoy. We should always be thankful for the privileges we get that some may never receive. Never the less, there are things in this world that currently annoy the s**t out of me; as I'm sure it annoys the s**t out of others too. Undoubtedly, these are some of the most annoying thing out there:

1. Über drivers that ask you for directions to where you're going.

Über drivers literally (I'm using this word correctly) have a GPS system programmed into the App. Please do not ask me where I am going; there are directions... follow them. AND NO STARS FOR GLEN COCO.

2. Automated customer service.

Look robots are cool and all but not when you're trying to find out what's wrong with your Cable.

3. The chip/swipe checkout horror.

I'm okay with having more security, but please get your s**t together. We're tired of looking like idiots at the register.

4. NC-17 P.D.A. (Public Displays Of Affection)

We get it, you guys really love each other. Please, go and love each other in a room and not next to that five year old that's at a very vulnerable stage in her life. I know she's not you're problem but, to be honest, the rest of us are really grossed out watching you shove your tongue down your girlfriend's throat.

5. Public bathrooms with no hand soap.

The experience was already gross and now it's worse. Remember to grab some hand sanitizer when you're leaving the gas station.

6. The mysteriously missing socks from the laundry room.

"I know I put five pairs in there. Why do I have three pairs and only two other socks with different patterns?"

7. People that wait until they get to the front of the line to decide what they want.

Could you please wait by the side so the colossal line of patrons you've created with you're indecision can go on with their lives?

8. Company commercials that have famous artists cover their slogans with a song.

I really don't care how Rachel Platten tunes it; you're an Insurance Company, you can't fool me with her smooth voice.

9. Hovering.

Why are you still standing over me? The conversation is over. Let's part our separate ways now and enjoy our personal space.

10. The teacher's pet.

Now that classes are starting this one especially vexes me. I'm glad you know a lot and you want to have a special relationship with the professor. Please, save it for after class; the rest of us don't care and we're just trying to get through the day. Oh, and to to the one's that remind the teacher about our homework even though they hadn't asked for it - you suck the most.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
