11 Frustrating Occurrences That are Out of Our Control

Ever feel as if nothing is going your way? Good, because we all do and nearly everything that sends you over the edge of throwing a temper tantrum is similar to many others! Here are 11 times where frustration gets the better of us and causes a flipping out of some sort!

1. Traffic

UGH! Even just thinking about the early morning or rush hour traffic is just annoying.

2. Cell Phone Service

Dropped calls! No Internet! In today's day and age losing cell phone service is probably one of the orst things that can happen.

3. Telemarketers/Advertisements

Whether it be a 30 second ad before a Youtube video, or a telemarketer call you on your personal phone, advertisements can be the most inconveinent and time consuming things ever.

4. Batteries Dying

Right in the middle of the big game, a video game, or anything that involves batteries is the worst time! However you knew these batteries started to die when you started switching them around and trying to get the last juice.

5. Car Problems

Enough Said. It always seems to be the worst timing when the car starts to malfunction.

6. Plans Falling Through

When someone cancels plans it is as if an entire space of time is just gone. If you were excited about the plans, then this could be a seriously let down.

7. Mornings

Rolling out of bed in the morning is probably one of the most horrific things to witness. Although we all do it, we can all admit it can be frustrating from time to time.

8. Clickbaiting

A video draws you in with the thumbnail and while watching you notice that the thumbnail has nothing to do with the actual video! WHY WASTE MY TIME!

9. Pay Days

It is always on the worst day! Why did I not get paid yesterday when I needed money!

10. Computer Crashes, Word Document Does not Save

In college this may be the bane of my existence. Losing all of the saved writing and then venturing into the depths of the computer and still coming to the conclusion that the document is unobtainable is simply, the worst.

11. Waiting for the Next Episode

It is the season finale and you know it. After this episode it will be an entire year before the newest season! Once it is over, it is over.... The showhole exists!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
