11 Frustrating Occurrences That are Out of Our Control
Matt Bailey

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!

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.
