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.

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!

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.
