23 Things I Just Don't Understand

People are confusing.

There are so many things that people do and that I do not and will not ever understand.

1. People that do not like Christmas

Christmas is seriously the greatest holiday. I. Do. Not. Understand.

2. People that do not like music

I just do not understand how hating music is possible.

3. People that do not tip

I am a broke college kid and I still make it a point to tip 20% every single time I eat out. Waiters/waitresses do not make enough and make most of their money from tips. But when you tip, make sure you leave at least 15%.

4. People that litter

Why destroy the environment and the animals that live in it?

5. People that hate animals

How? Animals are the best and provide so much comfort.

6. People that like English class

I just do not understand how people like English. If I know how to speak English, then isn't that enough?

7. People that stay out late partying during the school week

I have early morning classes and like do you just skip the next day? Because I show up and I still do not understand what is happening. Or do you come hungover because that does not sound too fun, either?

8. People that can function on less than 5 hours of sleep

If I get 5 hours of sleep, I am falling asleep in my 8 AM and am out of it for the rest of the day.

9. People that drive slower than the speed limit

Why? If the speed limit is 45, why in the world are you going 35?

10. Slow walkers

If I am shopping, and you are walking super slow in front of me, chances are I am just going to cut you off and you will get pissed at me.

11. Loud talkers

There is no need to scream when we are 5 feet apart. Talk with your inside voice, please and thank you.

12. People that disrespect their elders

They are older than you first of all.

13. People that blame everything on millennials

I'm sorry Sheila that I am a broke college kid. I'm sorry that I'm not out there buying diamonds because my college is three times the price yours was when you went 100 years ago.

14. People that play their music so loud I can hear it when I'm a good 10 feet from them

How are you not deaf? Also, I do not want to listen to your music with you. I want to listen to my own music.

15. People that drive without their headlights on in the fog or rain

Am I going to get hit by you because I can't see you? Probably. Just turn them on. It's not that hard. I promise.

16. People that do not use their turn signal

Again, it isn't that hard. You push it down for left and up for right. Chances are, I will actually slow down and let you over if you signal instead of just cutting me off.

17. People that try to pass you in the lane that ends in less than 100 feet

Just merge behind me. There are already other cars in front of me so you can't even go fast. There is no point in riding the lane out.

18. People that wear heels to school

You do you, honey. But I know, I like to be as comfortable as possible and heels are not comfortable at all. But again, you do you.

19. People that make fun of others at the gym for their weight

They are at the gym working on themselves just like you are. They could be sitting at home not working out.

20. People that do not like Panera

How? It is healthy and they have a lot of options.

21. Uptight people

I am more of a go with the flow type of person and I just do not understand how you could be anything but.

22. People that do not like Mexican food

Tacos are so good. So are chips and queso.

23. People that drink milk

Ew. It just doesn't taste good unless it is in coffee.

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.
