When you say it doesn't matter where we eat, you better be okay with the next thing I say.

Couples fight. It happens. We agree to disagree and we move on; it's part of a healthy relationship. But no matter how healthy a relationship is, there will be those pointless arguments and disagreements that are serious in the moment, but looking back make you feel like an idiot. Here are 11 pointless fights couples have at some point.

1. What movie to go see

I want to see the new rom-com, he wants to see the new "Star Wars." He hates musicals, I think explosions in movies look way too fake. Sometimes there’s a movie that we both want to see, but a lot of the time there’s a lot of compromising.

2. Outfit/Appearance

It’s not one of those, “Are you going to wear that?” type of things. It’s more of a “You’ve worn sweatpants every day this week can you not today?”

3. What show to watch on Netflix

You’ve watched Stranger Things. He won’t watch "Gossip Girl" and you won’t watch Dexter. More compromising, but I feel like this is way easier to figure out than a movie. There are so many more options, there is bound to be something. But, that doesn’t stop the ugly side from coming out when he passes up "13 Reasons Why."

4. Sports on TV

Maybe you’re not a football person, or maybe you just don’t like that team. Or, perhaps ESPN has been on ALL day and you would like to see something else before you go insane. It’s the little things people. Share the TV. Or buy two.

5. Where to eat

“Where do you want to eat?” “Anywhere.” “Taco Bell?” “No, not today.” We’ve literally all had this argument. Multiple times. Maybe in the same day.

6. Where to go for holidays

We all want to go to our own homes (usually). We want to keep our traditions alive. We aren’t ready to grow up yet and not be home at Thanksgiving or Christmas. It’s weird. Hence, we start fighting about why we should go to our own home for Easter or whatnot. It turns into a game of Family Feud. “Reasons Why My Home Is Better For This Holiday” and survey says that someone has to win.

7. What celebrity is pretty/handsome

I’m not sure if everyone does this or not, but when my boyfriend and I talk about a celebrity, I’m usually like "Wow I love her she’s so pretty!” And usually, he says no. How can he not like Selena Gomez? Is he human? I’m constantly trying to find celebrities that we agree on. If he wasn’t dating me, I’d say he had bad taste.

8. Cleaning

Number one pet peeve. I hate cleaning up YOUR trash around my room. I mean c’mon. The trash can is at the end of my bed! I don’t want your empty water bottle. If it was your room, sure be my guest I can’t tell you how to live your life.

9. Family hating you/them

Meeting the parents is always nerve-racking. What if they don’t like you? What if my dad brings out the gun to scare my boyfriend? Even if they were super nice to you and baked you cookies, we still come out saying, “Well they hated me, you should probably date your ex again since they loved them.” Note: they probably don’t hate you. Unless they do. Then I’m sorry…

10. Defending your state/hometown/school

Being from West Virginia, I feel like I’m always defending my state or some part of my life. No, we aren’t incest. Yes, I get it I’m from a small town. No, our football team was not State Champs. Oh, you hate my mascot? Well, yours was a dolphin and that’s stupid so take that.

11. AC vs. Heat

I’m pretty much always cold. Unless it’s 100 degrees, I’m probably sitting with a blanket on. My boyfriend is always hot. He can think about walking and he’ll sweat. The only time I like it cooler is when I sleep, and other than that I like it to be a nice temperature. We have very different opinions about what that should be.

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.
