It's The Little Things In Life

That annoy me more than anything.

It's The Little Things In Life

People can have their brains short out in any number of ways. Something can go wrong and cause them to nearly have an aneurysm in their fit of anger and annoyance. There are many things that I find extremely annoying in any given day. They range from the small and probably not worth my while, to things I am sure most of us would agree is aggravating. Here are just a few things I find mind-boggling annoying:

1. Leaving the bread open

I just brought a loaf of bread, someone leaves it open, and boom -- entire loaf ruined. I go to make toast, and behold, I unwillingly have toast without a toaster. This should have been brought up for discussion in the Geneva Conventions as a war crime.

2. My cats waking me up to feed them at 6 a.m.

Every morning, at 6 a.m. on the dot, one of my two cats jumps on my bed to meow right in my face to let me know she's hungry. The other one simply sits on or around your face and growls (I think she's purring) like a diesel engine. I don't even need an alarm with these two. Plus, they don't quit and only get increasingly annoying if I don't get up and feed them.

3. Forgetting that one item as soon as you get home with groceries

This one ranks pretty high up on my list. I roll over to the grocery store all amped up to get some good food, peruse through all the aisles, get home and lug all the food up and I forgot milk. Or eggs. I always forget the thing that gave me the energy to go to the store in the first place. I have all this food and yet feel so defeated.

4. Forgetting your wallet/purse/money

This kind of goes along with number three, but instead of getting what you need, you have to turn around and go back. You have just managed to add an extra 30 minutes or more to your "quick trip." Half the time I don't even go back that day unless I really needed something. I made it not worth it for myself.

5. Receiving texts that have an amazing amount of typos

I get that texting is supposed to be a fast, easy and fun way to communicate. I get that there are some shortening of words and I deal with that. After all, I am guilty of shortening a few words here and there that are accepted "text lingo." But, one thing I can absolutely not stand is when every other word is misspelled. Or messed up so bad you can't even read it. To me, it shows that you literally cannot take enough time to look over a short text once to make sure it makes sense. You just popped it off and thought "they will understand regardless." No. I don't.

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!

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.
