I had to let off some steam before it was too much...

As we get through these long, dog days of summer, we all come to the point where every little thing is annoying us in our boredom. This week, I've decided to vent a little and share the 17 things that have been annoying me lately.


17. Fidgeting with the Battery Cover on the Remote


PUT. IT. DOWN! Turn on whatever you want to watch, adjust the volume, and put the remote down. It is distracting and super annoying to have you clicking the remote's battery cover throughout the show.

16. Other Drivers

Do I even need to elaborate? Turn signals, right-of-way, completely stopping to make a turn; you name it, it bothers me and it probably bothers you too.

15. Sick People in Public


If you're sick, stay home and get better. You need to rest, and I need you to not be annoying me with your sniffling.

14. Selfishness

Think of other people every now and again; I promise it won't kill you!

13. New Slang


I'm in my early twenties and I honestly don't understand half of what people are posting on social media. Urban Dictionary may have saved me a few times.

12. Loose Panels in Cars


My old clunker has a bunch of these, but that's what the radio is for, right?

11. Having to Repeat Myself


Sometimes it is my own fault for not making sure I have your full attention, but don't be mad at me for the attitude that comes with me having to repeat myself four and five times.

10. Someone Else Eating the Last of My Favorite Snack

All I can say is you better buy me more Honeycomb.

9. When People Park Stupid


DO. NOT. PARK. ON. MY. DOOR. I'm not even talking parallel parking, just the basic parking between the lines. It's common courtesy!

8. When Meetings Are Unnecessarily Long

This could've been an email. Please let me go home now.

7. That Most Restaurants Offer Only One Diet Soda

Option...

Seriously, I don't think it's too much to ask. I don't always want to drink Cola and there are too many carbs in regular sodas for my Diabetic pancreas to rationalize drinking it.

6. When Someone Leaves the Door Open


We all know that if the door was closed when you came in, you better close it on your way out.

5. Fingernail Biting


It leaves you open for infection and so many other things, but mainly it's just gross.

4. People Who "Chaw" on Gum


Close your mouth. Ain't no one want to see (or hear!) your chewing gum!

3. People Who Constantly Touch their Mouth/Face


I'm not entirely sure why this bothers me so much, but it probably has to do with germs and the transmission of disease.

2. Group Projects


No one ever knows what is going on in a group project. I'm pretty sure it's just the professor's way of getting back at both the slackers and the smart alecks in one fell swoop.

1. Professors Who Constantly Mispronounce a Word They Use Often

Professors are supposed to educated, or at least appear to know what they're talking about. I don't think that's too much to ask when I'm paying thousands of dollars to attend your classes.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
