10 Stages Of Anger
Psychology Today

Having a short temper has its positives and negatives. Actually more negatives than positives. The one positive is that people will never take advantage of you because they are scared of you half the time. They do not know when you will reach your boiling point and burst into a fiery stream of anger. The ten stages of anger escalate very quickly. It is only natural to reach the next stage. Anything can tick these people off, a weird look or even the smallest comment can set them to the level of rage.

1. Bothered.

When something in a situation bothers you, you can't help it. This is the stage when you roll your eyes in the back of your head. You just can't deal!

2. Mild irritation.

This is the stage when you know you are right because you always are anyway. But other people may be questioning you. You may show this face.

3. Annoyed

This is the stage where you do not care what other people think. You are you, and that is the way it will stay. This stage may include some sassy hair flips and uncontrollable eye rolling.

4. Indignation

This stage is the first step to confrontation. You may not be able to use your words, but do not fret the other person will get the message.

5. Frustrated

This stage is about trying to take your anger out on inanimate objects because you can't do it on the real thing. This is a socially accepted stage.

6. Infuriated


Next, is the stage where there is uncontrollable screaming. It may not be to anyone, but it helps contain your anger. Warning, you may lose your voice.

7. Hostile

This stage is also about using inanimate objects... to hurt someone. It helps because you personally do not have to get your hands dirty.

8. Wrath

This stage is all about threatening someone. But don't be fooled, these may or may not be empty threats. Who knows?

9. Fury

This stage is when you go a little too far. This is when your threats come to life. Warning, you may or may not feel guilty.

10. Rage.

This is the final stage of anger. This is where you go full hulk mode. There is no going back after this stage. The damage is done.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
