10 Things To Stop Getting Irrationally Mad About In 2017

You are way too sensitive.

10 Things To Stop Getting Irrationally Mad About In 2017
The Huffington Post

I think we can all agree here that 2016 was a big shit show.

Whether it be with your personal life, the lives of others, or with idiots on social media, we have all gotten really upset over some stupid things this year.



While everyone is making resolutions, let's reflect a little bit on the year we have experienced. Here are a few things to stop getting irrationally mad over in 2017.


1. Religion

Just why? I never understood this to begin with. I'm not super religious but I don't really care what other people practice, so why should you? Doesn't make sense to me.

2. Bad drivers

Let's be honest, we all have a bit of a road rage problem (me 100%). This year, let's try to not get mad about that guy cutting us off. Let's not try to get back at them and almost die in the process. Anger management. Breatheeeee.

3. Social media

There are idiots everywhere. Literally everywhere. Some of you are probably reading this thinking I'm an idiot. Whatever. But stop getting so mad at what people post on Facebook! Who cares that Jenny voted for Trump? Who cares that someone doesn't want to vaccinate their kids? Just stop. It's not you. Whatever.


4. Memes

Some people still don't understand that memes are supposed to be funny. Does it offend you? Okay, don't post it. Do what most people do and *gasp* scroll past it!


5. News

The news is here to help us stay up to date on the world around us. I'm sorry it's not all peachy and sunny and beautiful. It's the news. It's not there to make you happy all the time.


6. Politics

The election is over. Take it or leave it. Stop getting all worked up over it. Sorry. Also, stop posting about it on social media (I should take my own advice with number 3).


7. Relationships

So, you're single? You're in a relationship? Woo! Do whatever you want! Don't focus so much on other people. Work on yourself and do what you feel is best! Pro tip: don't compare relationships.


8. Celebrity drama

Honestly, I've always found this extremely stupid. Shoutout to TMZ because it's at least entertaining. But, why do people get so mad over what Kylie Jenner did? Why do people care who wore it better? Don't get me wrong, we are indeed a society obsessed with Hollywood. However, we need to stop comparing our lives to theirs and thinking they're better. Of course they're better! They're famous. Duh.


9. Odyssey articles


^ Very original, though. Never heard anyone say that before.

Oh, Odyssey. I love it. Why else would I write for it? This entire article is 110 percent my opinion! No one can take that away from me. But if you don't agree, great. That's your right and your opinion. Millions of people write for this, not just a few people at your school. So stop thinking that just because you don't agree with a few articles means you hate the entire website. Educate yo'self. Thx.

10. Everything

You guys are way too sensitive. Get over it. You're fine. Live your life.

Like the song says: don't worry, be happy!

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
