10 Worst Things In Life

The absolute worst things that I could think of

10 Worst Things In Life

1. Pedestrians

Think about it. When you live in a busy college town everyone is always in a rush to get somewhere as quickly as possible. The pedestrians (including myself) are absolutely the worst because we will walk as soon as all of the cars are out of sight. We do not care if you are trying to make a left turn when you have been waiting 2 full lights, we will still walk.

2. The paint that won't leave the brush

The moment after you finish painting a beautiful craft is such a satisfying moment filled with pride and excitement. However, as soon as you walk over to the sink to attempt to remove the paint from the brush, say goodbye to your happiness. Though a lot of the color does leave the bristles, there is always that paint that decides to burrow deep into the brush.

3. Books that can't keep themselves open

Books with new bindings are the best and worst things to ever exist. New books have such a wonderful smell (in my opinion) that can excite just about anyone. However, when it comes to laying new books out on a table for the first time, they refuse to stay open themselves. They just keep flopping closed while you are desperately trying to hold the two sides of the book open.

4. When dishes come out of the dishwasher still dirty

I think that sometimes people have a hard time understanding the concept of rinsing off dishes before they put them in the dishwasher. I know that in our apartment, every time we unload the dishwasher there will always be several dishes with large chucks of some type of food on it.

5. Glitter

This should be a given. Glitter is wonderful and beautiful and pretty when it stays on the craft. Glitter spreads like wildfire, there is no keeping things clean when you are working on a project that contains glitter. It will end up in your carpets, vacuum cleaner, and probably on someones car if you live in an apartment complex with a balcony like I do.

6. Traffic

This tends to go along with pedestrians, however when your car is surrounded by dozens of other cars that is when the rage really sets in. For some reason everyone decides to throw average driving courtesy out the window when they are stuck in traffic.

7. Men in flip flops

Sorry guys. I know that women are allowed to wear flip flops and it is completely acceptable however when your manly toes are shoved into these shoes, it freaks many women out. If this shoe happens to fit in with your style then that is fine but for the most part the answer should just be no.

8. School emails

Send me another email please. I understand that some emails (like testing the security system) are rather helpful but for the most part emails from my university end up clogging up my inbox.

9. Stubbing your toe

No greater pain comes from jamming your toes into the side of some type of furniture. Tears will form. Curse words will fly. And the pain will be real. Usually it takes a few days to heal which is just added pain that will continue to mock you for your lack of spacial awareness.

10. When your phone dies

You are on 20% and the little picture of the battery turns red and you can see the end in sight. The second my phone gives me the warning, I start to panic because usually I am no where near a phone charger. If I am near a charger my phone will stay on 1% for 2 hours, but the second I am far away, my phone will die sometime around 15%.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
