8 Pet Peeves That Get On Everyone's Nerves
Tech.co

With so many annoying things in the world, it's hard to make a list of the worst pet peeves that exist. I'm sure a large majority of you will get annoyed just reading this article because one of the things that annoys you may be the sheer amount of articles from the Odyssey that appear on your Facebook newsfeed. (I promise, they're good and you should read more of them).

1. People who don't use their turning signal.

Seriously, it is one of the easiest things to do while driving, and it's helpful too. It makes it so people actually get why you're suddenly braking hard in the middle of the road, it's a warning to others. It prevents accidents and makes it so people are less angry when they drive. So, please just use your turning signal, because when you don't it makes me want to ram my car into your back end. (See the road rage!?)

2. People who say "I have to tell you something," and then they refuse to tell you.

Honestly, what even is this? It's 100 percent okay if you do not want to share a secret or news with someone, but when you blatantly put it in their face and then refuse to share it's just annoying. I'm not sure if it's a cry for attention or just some game that people like to play, but just do us all a favor and just keep quiet if you really have no intention to actually share.

3. When people blame you for something you didn't do.

This one relates more to childhood, your brother/sister probably blamed you for breaking something when it was really them. However, it still applies to today. People get their stories wrong all the time and you wind up getting blamed for some crime you didn't commit. It makes people question their opinion of you and it wavers their trust. It's not fun for anyone.

4. Bad roommates.

There are so many pet peeves involved with this one, so it's easier just to stick it all under one category. Messy roommates stink, they leave their dishes in the sink and don't clean them, they leave their things everywhere and make messes, and typically they don't vacuum or take out the trash. It creates more work for you, and you probably already have enough to do.

Disrespectful roommates go through your mail, invade your space consistently, and keep you awake late at night or ruin your studying time. They often have their TV up loud and their door wide open when you're trying to sleep at night, causing you to lose sleep.

5. People who litter.

Trashcans/recycling bins are everywhere, there is no need for you to throw your trash on the ground. Animals can get caught in litter or eat things that they shouldn't have causing illness or death. Overall, it's just downright bad for the environment and it makes you look like a d*ck.

6. People who consistently put others down.

There's no need to talk trash about others or to judge them. You don't know what they're going through or have been through, so don't sit there and take hits at their self-esteem. People who are rude and judgmental are not any fun to be around, they're just mood-killers. Just keep your negative attitude to yourself, and don't spread it.

7. People with short tempers.

It's okay to get angry, but it is not okay to get mad over nothing. People with short tempers are often hard to be around because they get mad over the slightest thing and stress others out. Try to maintain your cool and take some breaths, it probably isn't as big of a deal as you think it is.

8. People who don't pay you back.

You let your friend borrow 20 bucks form you and they never gave it back. You covered your friend on some bills because they were short and they didn't pay you back. You go grab a bite to eat and they forget their wallet and promise to pay you back, but again they don't. It's disrespectful to not pay people back and it stresses relationships. People aren't made of money, so remember to always pay your dues.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
