10 Normal Things That Annoy You

We can all be a bit testy at times. Some big things make everyone angry, but the worst are pet peeves that drive even a saint insane. Here are the little things in life that shouldn't bother you, but they really do.

1. When someone takes a long time to text back.

Listen, it's really upsetting that you aren't sitting by your phone day in and day out waiting with baited breath to respond to my text. Okay, fine, that's obsessive, but really? Three days to respond to my text. Come on now.

2. When your mom doesn't close your bedroom door all the way.

"Can you close my do-" never mind. I'll just leave my bed and close it. It's fine.

3. People who walk slowly in front of you.

No, no, it's fine. I'll just be here, behind this slow moving wall you've created with your bodies.

4. YouTube and Pandora ads.

Listen, I may be able to save 15 minutes or more on car insurance, but you're wasting 30 precious seconds that could be spent watching Justin Bieber music videos.

5. When people chew loudly.

Seriously. Are you eating a bowl of nails?

6. When Netflix asks, "Are you still watching?"

Why yes, I am, so great of you to remind me that I did nothing with my day.

7. When you hold the door for someone and they don't acknowledge it.

MY MOTHER DID NOT CARRY ME FOR NINE MONTHS JUST TO BECOME A HUMAN DOORSTOP. You're welcome.

8. When your phone repeatedly autocorrects something in the way you didn't want.

Are you ducking kidding me, iPhone?

9. When people applaud at the end of a flight.

Stop pretending. You're just as annoyed about not being off of this plane as I am. Quit with your fake happiness. Now I feel obligated to clap.

10. When people randomly join conversations.

I'm sorry, but if I wanted you here I would've sent you an invite. Thank you very much.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
