5 Things I Hate

I have a long list of things I hate, but these are just a few of the things that make me the angriest.

5 Things I Hate
Science ABC

Now, I hate a lot of things; but for time's sake, these are just a few of the things I hate that I think are the most relatable and the most understandable.

1. The beach

This is probably the thing I hate the most. How people can enjoy the beach is a mystery, how the beach is a setting in every romantic movie ever created baffles me like no other. How can people possibly enjoy the sounds of screaming children, the sun burning their flesh paired with the sand searing their feet. That’s probably the part that I hate the most; the sand. It’s burning hot, it gets everywhere, and it’s hard to walk in at a reasonable pace. I have places to go, people to see, and if I’m walking in sand, I’ll never get anywhere. The beach is a nightmare in my opinion, and I will never like it.

2. When people don’t take home leftovers/buy food and don't finish it

This one gets me because in my family, we never threw food away. Ever. It was probably the most sinful thing you could ever do and still is. So, when I see people leaving a half-eaten meal at a restaurant and they DON’T take it home as leftovers, I just feel so scandalized and peeved because you’re PAYING for the food! If you didn’t want that much food, why did you get it? Especially if you weren’t going to eat it! You could have just saved your money instead of throwing away perfectly good food.

3. Unequally distributed sandwiches

This one is harder to find a solution to, but when I can I try to dissect my sandwich before I eat it to make sure that all of the condiments and toppings are equally distributed. Why? Because why would I want to eat half a sandwich with only pepperoni and cheese on one half and then lettuce and cucumber on the other? When I eat a sandwich, I want each bite to be a mix of every ingredient so that I can bask in the glory that is my sandwich. Alas, when I live on a college campus I don’t really have much of a choice to how the ingredients in my wraps are laid out, so I only die a little inside each time I take a bite out of any sandwich I order there.

4. When people try to use logic that doesn’t make sense

This is what gets me extremely heated. When people are arguing with me or are talking about something someone said to them that they disagreed with and they start to use faulty reasoning/ logic, it just feels like my head is going to explode. I understand that you want to be right, but making yourself look like an idiot while you’re trying to do that and still being wrong is just so tiring for me I’ll concede just so that I don’t need to continue wasting my time listening. Even thinking about dumb things that people have told me gives me a headache.

5. When people try to act sneaky and think you don’t know even though you obviously do

Going along with the previous point, this is another thing that gets me incredibly angry, almost to the point of irrationality. When people try to pull a fast one on you but you can see it coming a mile away is what gets me really mad. And then when you call them on it and they try to deny it, it makes me even angrier. Most of the time, if someone is straightforward with me, I’ll be cool with whatever they tell me. But when people lie and sneak around and try to hide something instead of just being straightforward, that’s when I get upset with them and it makes me 100% more likely to not help you with whatever you needed.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
