I can't be the only one.

14 Semi-Unreasonable Pet Peeves

Pet peeves: we all have them. And whether or not we make them known, they still exist. Maybe I'm just a super irritable person, but I have a lot of pet peeves. Are some of them unreasonable? Probably. But are they limited to just me, or do other people feel the same way? We're about to find out.

1. When someone doesn't appreciate silence. (Read: when people don't know when to stop talking).

Silence is golden, people. Fun fact, I actually made one of my closest friends talking about this during orientation week.

2. When someone moves into the right lane in front of you right as the light turns red.

Excuse you, but I don't appreciate you coming into my lane at the last minute and hijacking my plans to turn right on red. It's fine though, I'll wait.

3. When someone doesn't use their turn signals - either for lane changes or actual turns.

No it's okay, I actually don't need to know about your intention to swerve into my lane. Keep me at the edge of my seat please.

4. When someone shuffles their feet while walking.

For one, you're ruining your shoes. And also, please just pick your feet. You're actually making life harder for yourself by shuffling.

5. When someone is chronically late because of who they are as a person.

As someone who is always, always, always early... I just don't understand how someone can never be on time to anything, much less 20 minutes late.

6. When someone is walking against the flow of traffic, particularly in a public setting like a mall or college campus.

Traffic patterns exist for a reason! You don't see cars driving on whatever side of the road they feel like. The same etiquette should apply to large masses of walking people.

7. When someone is eating something crunchy and they don't even attempt to quiet their chewing.

How are you not self conscious right now?

8. Better yet, when someone physically cannot close their mouth when chewing.

Dedicated specifically to my little brother, who always makes meal time a pleasure.

9. When someone you don't know sits down next to you in class even when their are plenty of other open seats.

I'm not in class to make friends or socialize. Please don't sit next to me and restrict my personal space when half of the seats in the room are open.

10. When someone takes your seat in class.

How dare you take my unassigned/self-assigned seat in which I have been sitting in all semester.

11. When people use excessive or unrelated emojis.

Maybe I'm just not a festive or extravagant person, but it's not necessary to use a string of 5+ emojis in every.single.text you send, especially when they don't pertain to the words you just typed.

12. When there's 1/8 of an inch of milk left in the jug and someone still puts it back into the fridge.

Please just finish it off and throw it away, you're just getting my hopes up.

13. When people walk out of a public restroom without washing their hands.

Whatever you do in your own home is your business, but if you're in public at least pretend to wash your hands.

14. When someone is oblivious to everything.

Self awareness is key, my friends.

Mic drop, end rant.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
