My Top 10 Pet Peeves At College

Don't take my unassigned assigned seat!

My Top 10 Pet Peeves At College

Here are some of my biggest pet peeves that I have encountered while being in college. The worst part is, you can't avoid any of them.

1. When people play their music or watch videos without headphones.

You might as well be carrying a boombox!

2. When students come to class just to fuck around on their laptops or phone.

We all have those days where we do that, but some students do it every class for the entire class. They don't even bother to pretend to take notes or even look at the professor.

3. When people talk on the phone using speakerphone.

4. When people take my unassigned assigned seat in class.

This is literally me when I walk into class and someone is in my seat. That is probably why I get to class 20 minutes early. It's not helped by the fact that I have anxiety and upsetting my routine can trigger it.

5. When people walk slowly across campus and through hallways.

Some of us have places to be.

6. When students are on the phone with their parents getting mad because they won't send them extra money.

You spoiled brats. Some of us are paying our own way and incurring more debt than you’ll ever have. Just be grateful for what you have.

7. When professors wait until the last minute to cancel class.

I could have gone home early instead of staying on campus during my break!

8. Group work.

9. When professors give us an assignment due the next day but it takes them until the end of the semester to grade it!

Just don’t assign it! I get that you have other classes to grade for but I have other classes to do work for!

10. When people come to class and eat the stinkiest food.

I get that you are hungry. I don’t mind that you bring food. But why on earth would you bring a tuna fish sandwich or something just as awful smelling?

Christmas tree

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.
