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

Everyone has those days

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

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
