10 Biggest Peeves Of College Students

Ahhh, it's the best time of the year, going back to school. There's the opportunity to make new friends, start off fresh in your classes, and try new things. Although college is fun and exciting place, there are a few things that just get on your nerves.

1. Holding the door for someone who doesn't say thank you

A rule of thumb, don't hold the door for someone and expect any type of gratitude. If you do, you'll be disappointed

2. People who leave their clothes in washers and dryers

The laundry room is a war zone. It's honestly just rude to leave your clothes in a washer and dryer when there are X amount available for your whole building. Don't be a jerk; just set a timer on your phone. No one wants to feel awkward taking your clothes out of a washer or dryer and feel obligated to folding them. If you know you don't have enough time to finish you're laundry, you really just shouldn't start.


3. When your advisor is late for your meeting

I mean, you only set it up a month in advance

4. Writing a long, grammatically correct email to your professor and they respond with one word

Not only did you have a great opening and closing "Hello___ I hope this email finds you well, and "I look forward to hearing back from you", you sent this email to 5 friends and your Mom to proof read before you sent it. My favorite part about this when a professor's signature is "Sent from iPhone"

5. Dining hall workers moving slow as molasses whenever you have somewhere to be

I mean honestly, when aren't you in a rush in college?

6. When the shuttle isn't on time

Woohoo yay for being late to class. Telling your professor that the shuttle is the reason you're late, it's normally a very acceptable excuse. You can thank your school's shuttles for this one.

7. When someone cuts you in line at the dining hall

Apparently I'm invisible today. I wasn't waiting in line or anything...Should I say something and look petty or just let it go?

8. When someone has a case of the sniffles during a test

Oh man, just grab a box of tissues and move on with your day.

9. The one student who asks 5 questions, delaying your class' dismissal

Everyone knows that one person I'm talking about.

10. Doing all of the work in a group project

If you thought group work ended in high school, I hate to be the one to break it to ya, but it doesn't. If you were the student who did all of the parts of a group project, do NOT fall back into this role in college; let it be someone else's responsibility. You will be super stressed out; you can thank me later.

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.
