Everyone has pet peeves, they may be extreme or subtle. But we can all agree on one thing, whatever the pet peeve(s) may be, it'll drive us f*cking insane. In college, we deal with enough stress concerning, you know, what we're going to do with the rest of our lives, so it'd be great if we didn't have to deal with these pet peeves. But if college has taught me anything, it's that we certainly can't win them all, so pet peeves you win this one.

1. People who ask to borrow something you can't borrow

If you're going to borrow my paper, I better get it back.

That was my only pencil.

Don't even get me started on the germs.

This just doesn't make sense.

The early bird catches the worm! These people don't.

Listen, if I say we can share, we can share. But I'm broke as heck so I don't have to if I don't want to... get your own.

13. People who talk way too loud on the phone

Can you not hear yourself?

14. Obnoxious laughers

It's not actually that funny, is it?

15. The person who can't stop talking about their ~crazy~ weekend and it's Thursday

Wow, Brad, you shotgunned 4 PBRs, iced yourself, and made it on @imshmacked? Only one of those things is cool, guess which one.

16. The person at Starbucks that orders 500 things and there's a line behind them

Why.

RIP to that newly dented Hydro Flask.

18. Groups that take up the entire sidewalk

The sidewalk is only so wide!

19. People that stand on the magic carpets at the airports

Finals are hard, the last thing I want to deal with is these people when I fly home for break.

20. People who use your/you're incorrectly (or don't use correct grammar in general)

Sssuuuccchhh a turn off.

21. People who spend more time on their phones more than communicating with the people they're with

There is a time and place for everything...

22. The guy/girl that can't stop talking about what frat/sorority they're in

23. People who hold unnecessary grudges

You don't have to be friends with everyone, get over it.

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.

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.
