Now that school has started, we all have encountered at least one annoying moment in our daily school lives. It's inevitable. People are bound to be annoying. You can't even walk away from them because sometimes you're just stuck in one place with no way around these people. I have faced at least 10 of these obnoxious things that people do on a daily basis. Some of these things I'm also guilty of, but hey, no one's perfect. Everyone has a little bit of annoying in themselves. Which one speaks to you?


1. People who literally get all up in your personal space just to see what you're doing on your phone

I get it. You're curious. But it's honestly none of your business. I don't see your name on my phone. So what gives you the right to look at my phone?

2. People who walk obnoxiously slow in the school hallways while you're trying to rush to class to take a test or quiz

I've seen sloths move faster than you all. At the rate you're going, you'll arrive to your class in the year 3000.

3. People who repeatedly tap their pens, pencils or fingernails on the table or desk — even after being told to stop

We get it. You can't stay still. But tap it on your legs or something because you're seriously bothering me while I'm taking my quiz.

4. People who love to argue with other people

It's honestly so annoying. Don't you ever want to take a break, and just say, "I agree with you?"

5. People who have a big ego to the point it's obnoxious

When you start to act like you're superior and better than anyone in the world, you start to become annoying. And in my opinion, it's very rude to think you're better than everyone. Confidence is great, but arrogance is just plain rude.

6. People who come to school sick.

(I'm guilty of this). But honestly, it's best if you just stay home so that way no one else will get sick. It's really disgusting if you're sneezing or coughing all over people. It's natural to do so, but it's best if you stay at home so you won't make others sick.

7. People who chew with their mouths open.

Please don't. I really don't want to see that you're having a great time munching on your hamburger.

8. People who answer your SOS text too late

It's called SOS for a reason. By the time you reply, my emergency is already solved.

9. People who pick their nose right in front of you

I love that you have confidence, and don't care about what others think, but it's just not really hygienic to be picking your nose right in front of me. It's kind of nasty.


10. People who push or shove you in the halls to get past you.

You don't have to be so aggressive. If you said "excuse me," I totally would've let you go in front of me.

11. People who butt into your personal conversation with someone else.

Who told you that you can butt in and listen in on my personal conversation?

12. People who don't cover their mouth when sneezing or coughing

Please, oh my gosh, please keep your germs away from me. I have to be healthy in order to do well in school and go to school.

13. People who repetitively ask the same question

Shut up.

14. People who never listen to the instructions and later ends up asking a question

Do you not have ears?

15. People who scream in the cafeteria.

Please shut up. Lunch is my "me time."

16. People who stop in the middle of the crowded hallway just to wait for their friend

Please move. There's such a huge gap and I'm suffocating back here. Your friend can catch up. It's not hard.

17. People who are always late to any event

Oh no, you weren't that late. *Checks watch.* Only 3 hours late!


18. People who put their gum under the desks and you're the one who discovers it when putting your hand underneath the desk

Ew. One thousand times ew.

19. People who purposely ditch class to avoid taking a test just to find out the answers from other people

Oka, one: this goes against honor code. Two: you've reached such a low point. Are you really that desperate?

20. People who repetitively cough, sneeze or sniffle during an exam

"Okay so I just have to add 4 to this equation..." *achoo*

"What was I going to do again? Oh, I remember!" *cough cough* "I don't remember..."

Please stop. I can't think straight when there are so many distractions.

21. People who waste class time just to crack some stupid jokes

I mean like the longer you waste class time, the less time I'll be able to get a head start on my homework tonight.

22. People who always ask you how was the test or quiz then proceed to ask you what some of the questions were.

That's honor code violation, and please stop bothering me. I don't want to get in trouble, and um, why would I help you? I studied my butt off.

23. People who seek attention in class in the most obnoxious ways

For example, girls who wear high heels and stomps around in class in the most obnoxiously loud way. Or when people loudly close the door in the middle of class.


24. People who stretch by bending their back practically 90 degrees

Your arms can probably reach the desk behind mine so imagine how much your arms and hair are taking up my personal space during class.

25. People who go to the bathroom before a quiz, causing the teacher to wait for them to return to pass out the quiz

Now everyone has less than 10 minutes to work on his or her quiz, because you needed to go to the bathroom when you could've gone before class started. Instead, you were talking with your friends.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
