I will stop being so annoyed when people stop being so annoying.

15 Things That Annoy People

I consider myself a generally happy person. However, I also am generally a very easily annoyed person. I try to keep it to myself most of the time but there are certain things that make me want to scream at the top of my lungs. Here are some examples:

1. People constantly thinking you're angry or upset about something


No. I'm fine. I promise. That is just what my face looks like when I'm not laughing. I know I seem angry. It's a condition.

2. People who walk slowly in front of you

If it was so important for you to step out before me, you should be walking a bit faster than you are walking now. What are you doing? Don't stop. Keep it moving. Knees to chest, people.

3. People who fish for compliments

I appreciate that you like my shirt. I said thank you. Why are you still looking at me? Oh, I get it. You want me to compliment you back? I'm sorry. I don't do that.

4. Being told to do pretty much anything you don't want to do

This is why school is such a struggle for me - especially reading assignments. If I'm being completely honest, I probably would have read these books on my own if you gave me time but now that I'm being told I have to read them, I want to set them on fire.

5. People who get into the left lane and drive at the same speed as the people in the right lane

There is a reason we divided the road like this. Why would you do this to me? You're why we can't have nice things.

6. People who are always really nice

I don't trust them. Yes, I know it's sad. I just know that no one can be that nice all the time. They've got to hide a secret.

7. Receiving any type of physical contact you didn't specifically ask for

You see that hug you're going to give me? See how you're getting closer and my arms aren't out-stretched? Yeah, that means hug yourself.

8. People who don't use their turn signals

I'm always pretty cautious but signals are important. They alert the people behind you where you are planning on going. It is for the benefit of everyone! They even put them next to the steering wheel to make it easier for you.

9. "Calm down."

Don't say that to me. I won't. Actually, because you told me to, I'm moving towards the other end of the calm spectrum.

10. People who eat string cheese or Pull-apart Twizzlers like a Kit Kat bar

That's not how you're supposed to eat them! They give you instructions! It's in the name of it!

11. People who snap their fingers to get your attention

I am not a dog. I don't answer to finger snaps. Every time you snap your fingers at me, I dream of smacking you.

12. People who take up more than one parking spot

Other people need those spots. There is no need for your mini-van to take up three spots, sir. They actually paint the lines so that your vehicle will fit between them. Please park accordingly.

13. Small Talk

Yes, it is raining. I love school. It's fantastic. I'm doing well. Now that that's over and done with, let me know something interesting. What's your deepest, darkest secret?

14. People in the desk in front of you who stretch back way too far

I used to do this thing in high school where I would stand my pen up at the top of my desk - point down, of course. If you bumped my pen with your head... you're back too far.

15. People who don't use their manners


If I hold the door open for you, hold the door open for the person behind you. Also, say "Thank You." It is the simplest thing and if you do it, I will continue to be polite. If not, I'm done.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
