We are all guilty of doing these. But when someone else does them it drives us insane. Or maybe it's just me. Whether we are stressed, exhausted, or having a great day, here are some of the biggest pet peeves every college student has:

1. Sitting On The Outside Of The Row


Most of my classes are lecture halls. So there's always someone that loves to get to class early and sit on the end of the row. This means that everyone has to crawl over them to get to a seat. Why doesn't everyone sit in the middle and fill in? Excellent question. Personally, I just walk them with my book bag apologize like I had no idea.

2. A Group Of People Taking Up The Entire Sidewalk


Usually, this is a huge problem when the group is walking towards you. You know you need to get through them but they look at you like you're the crazy one. Personally, I look directly through them and I will bump into anyone and push people off of the sidewalk if I have to.

3. Walking Too Slow


If it's not a group of people making you late to class it's the one person in front of you taking their sweet time. Whether they are on their phone or just looking around taking in the scenery, they have got to go. We have places to be.

4. One Person Taking Up A Four-Person Table


So you have your tray of food and you and your friends are looking around the cafeteria and you see that all of the large booths and tables are taken and they all have only one person at them.

5. People Who Want Everyone To Hear Their Conversation


There are always people who have their phones on speaker while they call their friends or they are just talking super loudly in a quiet area. The worst is the people who have their headphones in and are screaming because they can't hear themselves. No one wants to hear about how Claire hooked up with Justin last night so there's no need to yell.

6. Obnoxious Laughter

UGH! Nothing is that funny! Why do people laugh 10x louder in public to get attention? It's usually girls fake laughing and looking around to see who's looking at them.

7. Not Holding The Door


Guys are the worst at this. I have had my hands full and had someone close the door behind them leaving me to struggle. Or I will open a door and an entire sausage fest has to walk through before I can. No worries. I got it. Assholes.

8. Playing Loud Music



I mean I am all for a dance party but when I am trying to study and I heard a group of guys three floors above me listening to "Ride" by Somo I want to put a pencil through my skull. There's this amazing thing called headphones. Give em a try.

9. The People Who Walk Into Traffic


Why do people think the world revolves around them? Your tuition is not going to be paid for because you walked in front of a bus. Now calm down and wait on the curb with the rest of us.

10. That One Person Who Answers Every. Single. Question.


We all have that one person in our class who always has their hand up first. Even if the professor asks a rhetorical question. We get it. You actually read the entire textbook. Gold star.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
