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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
