Because we aren't the only ones that come back at the end of the day and complain about all the annoyances of the day.

17 Things People Do That Annoy Us Every Day

The following are some annoying things that we have encountered during our time in college and just life in general. Enjoy.

1. When you're walking and you come across some slow walkers who seem to have no sense of urgency...

Like seriously, do you have nowhere to be?!


2. When people just stop in the middle of a busy walkway to talk.

Helllllllooo? Please move to the side so other people can get on with their lives.


3. When you're in line for something and the person behind you is basically breathing down your neck...

I need some personal space, please.


4. When you're trying to exit a conversation and the other person just isn't taking a hint

Hey, great talk, but I'm late for a nap.


5. When people just start macking in public....like in the cafeteria, or in class, or in the library, or in places where you just don't mack.

Don't. Stop. Right now, stop.


6. When people ask if they can join a group of your friends but they ask to join while already making themselves a part of the group

JUST KIDDING. We don't actually hate you. 97 percent of the time we want you to join but it's just a pointless question. I mean... sure, what are we gonna say, no?

7. When people who aren't in charge and have no authority, try to act like a know-it-all and run the show...

PSA: you aren't in charge for a reason.

8. On a similar, but slightly different, note... when people think they are incredibly talented at something and they just aren't. Singing. Singing is a good example of this.

And it's okay! Not everyone can be talented at everything!

9. When people use the bathroom stall next to you when literally every other stall is open.

GET THEE GONE!

10. Gym woes pt 1: When there are 20 treadmills or bikes or ellipticals open but they just HAVE to use the piece of equipment right next to you. And you're just trying to hold it together like...

This is comparable to the bathroom dilemma in level of annoyance.

11. Gym woes pt 2: When girls sit/lay on the mats texting or laughing or gramming or scrolling through facebook.

Some of us actually have to work for those abs. Laughing doesn't cut it. Move your butts.

12. When people just aren't funny. No one is laughing. How are they always the only people that don't know they aren't funny?

Look around. Notice that no one is laughing.

13. When everything, no matter what the topic, will always, without fail, circle back to being all about them.

Even this young child knows that this is out of control selfish behavior.

14. When people just don't get social cues.

This could cover a whole host of things but just generally annoying overall.

15. When people around you check themselves out in every single reflective surface near them.

Your reflection is the same in the gym mirror now as it was in the window of the door to the gym that you just looked at yourself in approximately two minutes ago.

16. When people in classes or meetings ask questions that are unnecessary or were already answered.

Please do not speak just to hear your own voice. Do not prolong our time spent here... we have things to do!

17. When no one asked for their advice but they just have to give it anyways.

We just don't care but thanks.

Apologies for the level of sass here but sometimes, at the end of the day, people around us have pushed every button and we find ourselves feeling like Monica.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
