As human beings, there are just some things that seem to bring us all together with the same sense of irritation. Here are a few of those annoying things that make my list. I'm sure at least some, if not most, of them make yours as well. If you can think of any more relatable annoyances that I've missed, feel free to comment on this article and let me know!

1. Realizing there's no more toilet paper when it's already too late.

...Happens to the best of us.

2. Making a cup of coffee in the morning and forgetting it in the car.

..This can turn the best of days into the worst.

3. Pushing doors that say pull.

...Come on, we've all done it

4. When you hear people chew.

...I imagine beating you over the head every time I hear you chomp down on that chip!

5. When it's really quiet in a room and you hear that one person breathing like they just ran a marathon.

...Or maybe you just ran up two flights of stairs to get to class, we'll never know.

6. Grabbing a chocolate chip cookie, only to realize it's actually oatmeal raisin.

...Unless you actually like oatmeal raisin, then it's a win-win.

7. Getting comfortable in bed and then realizing you forgot to pee/turn off the light.

...To deal or not to deal, that is the question.

8. That one aunt/uncle that just always gives you that creepy vibe.

...This can make family parties a dread.

9. When your teacher makes you buy a textbook that you never even crack open.

...Sure, next time I'll just hand you my money and you can toss it directly into the garbage!

10. Continuing to open and reopen the fridge until the food that you want magically makes its way in there.

...Maybe if I walk away and come back it will work.

11. Walking into a room and then automatically forgetting why you went in there.

...And having to leave the room in order to remember.

12. People that drive without using their blinker.

..Left, right, straight?! Where ya goin' pal??

13. When you have really slow wi-fi.

...Loading...Loading...Loading....ugh.

14. People who feel the need to scream into their phones as if the other person can't hear them.

...If you'd just speak into the phone like a regular human this would be a better experience for us all.

15. The world's obsession with the Kardashian/Jenner families.

...Still don't see what the hype is all about.

26. How you need a scissor to get the scissor out of its package.

...Paradox.

...Yes, I've been laying in bed for 3 hours but I swear I was just about to get in there!

30. Saying "What?" for some reason, even though you heard what the person said.

...No, I can't explain this part to you because I can't hear it as you're blabbing in my ear!

41. People that decide to engage in conversation right in the middle of the hallway/sidewalk.

...Well, screw my feelings, right?

43. People that pop their significant others pimples.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
