1. Loud chewing

When is it not annoying when someone chews extremely loudly? It sucks when you can hear their food smacking and it all makes uncomfortable noises that you can't bear... Worst part? The person usually isn't even aware that they're being so loud.

2. Clicking

It's so distracting when you're in class trying to concentrate, take a test, or complete an assignment, and someone is nonstop clicking a pen in your ear. Any sort of clicking is distracting, but pen-clicking definitely tops the list.

3. Blocking the sidewalk

It's the worst when you're stuck behind a cluster of people because they're taking up the whole sidewalk. There is almost nothing you can do in this situation besides walk into the street and risk your life or deal with it and try not to scream.

4. Holding doors

When you hold the door for someone and they don't say anything, it hurts a small part of you—specially if you went out of your way to hold the door or if they were a distance behind you. The least you could do is nod, or give some sort of acknowledgment, right?

5. Talking over you

There is nothing more awful than someone talking over you mid-sentence. It's as if what you were saying had no importance or value whatsoever.

6. When someone else bumps into you, but they act like it was you

This is especially true on the subway or bus when it's crowded. Do you really want to be that close to a stranger? No. If you bump into me, sorry, but it's not my fault.

7. Those people that don't have time to answer your text, but have time to post on social media

There's definitely a difference between forgetting or not seeing the message once or twice, and completely flat-out ignoring a person. Can't you just text back?

8. Being quiet in theaters

It sucks when people won't keep their mouth shut when you're trying to watch a movie. You paid money to sit in the theater and watch this brand new movie, but those other people don't have the decency to stay quiet for a couple of hours and enjoy their money's worth?

9.Texting loudly

On public transportation, it sucks when people text and their volume is all the way up and they're texting about a thousand people at once. It's hard to deal with constant clicking, beeping, chirping, and other noises.

10. Shoulder sleeping

What do you do when someone on the bus falls asleep on your shoulder? Do you wake them up? Let them sleep? Push them over? What is there to do in this situation? Of course, it depends upon what kind of person you are, but nonetheless, the decision is a difficult one.

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.

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.
