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.

2. Not getting back whatever you let someone borrow

That was my only pencil.

3. People who don't cover their mouths when they sneeze/cough

Don't even get me started on the germs.

4. People who fall through with the plans THEY made

This just doesn't make sense.

5. People who leave their stuff places to save their spot, but don't return for multiple hours

I've lived there all year...

6. The overly animated student in your 8 am

Why are you so happy to learn Organic Chemistry right now?

They don't deserve to hear the answer.

I've got sh*t to do and people to see.

9. Slow walkers

Okay Hannah, now I know too much about your relationship issues.

11. Late people

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.

17. The person who drops their Hydro Flask in the middle of class

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

Chad, we get it, you're in FIJI. Jessica, we know you're a Chi O!!

23. People who hold unnecessary grudges

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

24. The person who asks too many questions in class

Just look at the class page!

25. The person in the group email that hits "reply all" when they respond

I thought they explained this in elementary school?

26. People who don't clean up after themselves

You would think people just know...

27. People who post too much on social media

WE GET IT JUSTIN YOU STUDIED ABROAD. And Taylor how many times can you post about Sig Ep's darty? We weren't counting.

28. When someone asks you about your day/weekend just so they can brag about theirs

I don't care.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
