People aren't perfect - I know this. I myself do things that annoy other people... A LOT. Like my sister, for instance, hates that I lick my fingers when I eat (granted I'm sure it can be gross), but I have no idea that I'm even doing it half the time. I never noticed before how many things bother me. Things range from people smacking their lips when they eat to not using their blinker when changing lanes. Some things I don't even know why they bother me.

Here is a list of relatable pet peeves that drive me bonkers:

1. Use your turn signal

We all learned in driver's ed that you HAVE TO USE YOUR BLINKER WHEN CHANGING LANES. It's seriously one of the first things you learn when learning to drive a car. Why do people not do it? I don't think I have road rage, but this kinda grinds my gears.


2. Say "Thank you"

It is not that hard to say "thank you" when someone does something nice for you like gives you a compliment or moves your wet laundry into the dryer. Did your parents teach you manners?


3. Don't chew with your mouth open

I'm sure most people have this on their pet peeves list. It's gross - please stop.


4. Don't try to come up on me the other lane when I'm stuck behind another car in my lane

It's seriously so so annoying when people are aggressive drivers around me. It's SO unsafe and makes me uncomfy.


5. Don't text at the dinner table

I guess I learned this growing up, but it is SO rude when someone is texting when you're trying to have dinner. I personally want to write a law saying no phones/electronics while you eat EVER.

6. ALSO DON'T HAVE YOUR NOSE IN YOUR PHONE ALL DAY

That's obvious. Live yo life.

7. Don't use the word "literally" in every other sentence.

It's LITERALLY so annoying.

8. When other people make me late...

It lights a fire in my heart.

9. People who touch my mac-n-cheese (or anything on my plate for that matter)

You can if you ask first (Except for my mac. You can never have any).

10. Cut me in line

Cut me in line I might cut you in half

11. Incorrect grammar

Sorry, that's the writer inside of me talking. *using "your" when you should be using "you're"*

12. People who are constantly tapping their pens or bouncing their legs in class

I may lose my sanity.


13. The phrase "Well, life isn't fair."

14. Girls who take too many selfies

I get it. I'm a fan of the occasional selfie. One selfie - ok. If you're at a baseball game, and you don't' even know who's playing or what the score is.... you're taking too many selfies.

15. The dreaded duck-lip selfie

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
