10 College Pet Peeves

You are probably the person on campus that everyone hates if you do these things.

After your first couple semesters on campus, you will start to hate people that do certain things and wish they would drop out because of the way they act. I CAN'T EVEN!

1. Walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk.

I see you and I hate you. all of you. I almost walk into you full force because you haven't learned proper walking etiquette. We drive on the right side, we walk on the right side when walking towards people ALWAYS!

2. Taking someone else's seat in class.

Yes, I am talking to you, guy in my Public Relations Class.

3. Standing on the middle of the sidewalk with others while people are trying to get around you.

4. People who are a distraction during class.

SHUT UP and Turn off your loud music I am trying to get a degree here.

5. Pen clickers and gum chompers.

Just stahp! Find another annoying tick that doesn't disturb someone trying to focus. Chomping gum does not make you look attractive at all.



6. Parents who bring their sick kids to class.

Why are you trying to get the entire class sick?!?! You let your kid play, cry, and scream while I am trying to get an A on this quiz. What are you thinking?! I just need to know!!


7. Classmates who don't participate at all in group projects and make one person do all of the work.

It is not fair. All you do is sit there when we meet up. I wonder what you listen to in your headphones or think about since you don't say anything or do anything to help.

8. People who smell awful or don't shower.

There is such thing as deodorant you know.

9. When people don't show up to class until test day.

Like really? I worked my butt off to be here every day I can while you sleep and drink or do whatever until test day. Don't even try to act like you care on test day and take someone else's seat and ask questions before the test. Your fault. I hope the professor has an attendance policy.

10. Boring lectures without pictures or activities.

Dear professor, please be a little less boring and monotone and help your students out. It helps us learn and pay attention. Thank you.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
