14 Things That Grind My Gears

Every once in awhile I get asked, what are your biggest pet peeves? And when you put me on the spot, I suddenly have nothing which is mind blowing since the littlest things usually drive me crazy. I like common sense and people who have it. If you don’t, then we probably have a problem. But that’s a completely different story.

Anyways, I’ve started to jot down my pet peeves in my Notes as I realize them. I do it just in case I ever get famous and am asked about them, I’ll have my answer ready to go.

1. When people blow their nose in public

For example, in the middle of class. You can’t go to the bathroom or into the hall to be gross? Where are your manners?

2. Before & After collages in the wrong order

Its supposed to go before on the left then after on the right. Not the other way around. That doesn’t even look right.

3. Being spoken to like I’m dumb

Have you ever asked a legitimate question and you get responded to with attitude? Like don't talk to me like I'm dumb, I am not a baby.

4. When people don’t have proper manners


If I take time out of my day to bless you after you sneeze or hold the door open for you and you don’t thank me, we’ll have a problem forever.

5. When I don’t get blessed

Did you not just hear me sneeze? Bless me.

6. People who don’t have common courtesy.

When you’re getting off the train/bus and the person waiting at the stop doesn’t wait for you to get off first. I come off the train first then you can get on.

7. When people chew with their mouth open or smack their food

8. Being childish.

Remember in third grade when you wore your cool new shoes to school, someone noticed and asked “oh are those new?” Then they purposely stepped on them after you said yes? Yeah , that really grinned my gears as an eight year old.

9. Using the wrong terms for social media.

It is not “follow me on snapchat” or “add me on twitter.” It’s ADD me on snapchat and follow my twitter. It’s not even that hard? Just get it right.

10. When fake eyelashes aren't applied properly

I see that little corner that’s not sticking and it is driving me crazy.

11. When people sneeze and don’t cover.

NOW YOUR NASTY GERMS ARE EVERYWHERE. ARE YOU KIDDING?!

12. When my door gets left open

I know you did not find my door open, close it when you leave.

13. Lying parents

Why are you telling me the food is done but when I come to the table it’s nowhere near done? I can’t even trust my own mother.

14. When you’re arguing with someone & all of a sudden they're literate

Oh, now you know how to use punctuation and the proper you’re? Where was all this enthusiasm when you almost failed tenth grade English? That still doesn’t make your argument valid.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
