Sitting in a Yosemite cabin surrounded by newly-made friends of the singing variety (an acapella group I joined this semester), I've temporarily withdrawn my negative Nancy side for a final pre-grad, soul-searching spring break trip. But without the aid of spirituous beverages and great company, the world can be distressingly imperfect for a hopeless idealist. That's not to say Ia vie n'est pas belle, but as an Alyssia Cara sympathizer, I am irked by many things. Here's a short list.

1. Clickbait Titles

To news outlets, YouTubers and writers alike, while I understand that ad revenue is the root of your evils, a intriguing headline should not have to rely on deception (or more egregiously, blatant lies). Sacrificing header integrity for clicks and views makes content nothing more than poops and giggles...but I'll be damned if it isn't effective.

2. Pointless Sharing

To those who continually supply my news feed with "meaningful" videos on Facebook, the least you could do for force-feeding me a 4 minute video is to add your personal commentary. I want to know what you think of it. What your thoughts on the topic are. Or, most importantly, why you are sharing? Because otherwise, I have better things to do than watch this video about a microwave washing innovation. Oh wait, I don't.

3. Sports Fans Who Aren't

To the fair-weather fans who jump ship once things go the slightest bit south. To the bandwagoners who root for a new team every other week. To the courtside celebrities who clearly aren't there to watch the game. I will always regard you as disposable, second class citizens in the world of sports. Wow, that came out pretty harsh.

4. People Who Can't Say Sorry Or Thank You

I'm not sure why, but some people have tremendous difficulty uttering either of these two simple phrases. Perhaps it can be traced to a lack of empathy. A bloated sense of pride. Poor parenting. Whatever the cause, I'm tired of the absence of courtesy that is becoming all too common.
