10 Pet Peeves Every College Student Has

College can get frustrating.

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
