8 Small Things That You Notice When You're In A Bad Mood

Everyone has those days

On a day where you're feeling particularly irritable, you start to notice the little things that people say or do that really get to you.

1. People who force their beliefs down other people's throats

Now, there's a difference between shoving your beliefs down other people's throats and living your best life and being proud of what makes you happy. For example, being openly gay and having a partner of the same sex is being open about what makes you happy. An example of being obnoxious and shoving your beliefs in the faces of people is a person, whose religion doesn't agree with same-sex relationships, going up to that openly gay person and talking about how what they're doing is wrong, even though that person being openly gay has no effect on the person yelling.

2. People who under-validate the arts

While math and science are super important when it comes to technological advancement, arts such as music, theater, and writing are just as crucial when it comes to societal growth. A lot of people find who they are through the arts and explore their options-- what's so bad about that?

3. Drivers who aggressively don't use turn signals

Please end this madness. IT ISN'T THAT MUCH EXTRA WORK TO USE A TURN SIGNAL.

4. One-upping people

Junior year is full of people trying to outdo each other, especially since my class is full of competitive people. Every morning consists of people competing over who got the least amount of sleep, who studied the most and who has the highest A in a class (even though a low A is just as much of an A as a high A, but I'm not trying to crush their dreams). Seriously, can we all just live our owns lives without trying to impress people with things that ultimately won't matter?

5. People who complain about things completely within their control

"Mrs. ______ gives SO much homework!!!!"

Of course, she does-- it's an AP class.

"I only got three hours of sleep!"

There's a thing called time management; put the social media away and try it! Also, if that doesn't work, coffee and sleeping all weekend works WONDERS.

"OH MY GOSH!!!! I'm failing this class because I don't know what's going on!"

Ask the teacher for help! If that doesn't work, ask a friend! If that doesn't work, ask the internet! There are countless resources.

6. Shaming people about things that they can't control

It serves absolutely no purpose, other than just getting the satisfaction of being rude to someone.

7. OR shaming people about things that clearly make them happy

People that trash other people's music taste, a favorite show or movie, hobbies or friends are some of the worst people. I will never understand why you would criticize something that not only has no impact on other people but brings that particular person joy. Everyone is different, and different doesn't always mean bad.

8. People who argue about things that they aren't educated about

Or just people that spew false information on the daily. It's just wasted energy, especially when you try to educate someone when they are passionately ignorant about the subject.

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
