Everyone has a pet peeve or two right? For example, is it really that hard to say please and thank you? Or how about being on time for once? Oh it is… well shoot. Through gritted teeth, I have constructed the ultimate list of weird and true pet peeves.

Students who ask too many freaking questions.

Alright friends, let’s be real this one is out of control. Especially because chances are the professor’s answer will be “check the syllabus.” I not once but twice had class with this girl who asked a question on average probably like every 8 minutes or so (yes that’s a made up statistic, roll with it). For real though, homegirl was asking questions for the sake of hearing her own voice. Even the professor gave her dirty looks when she raised her hand it was so bad. UGH.

LOUD EATERS

Yes the title had to be in all caps just like your eating apparently is. SERIOUSLY YOU SOUND LIKE YOU’RE EATING NAILS WITH A SIDE OF BROKEN GLASS.

Using your/you’re and there/their/they’re incorrectly

I would like to start a petition to make this the determining factor on if kids can leave grade school-- put this on the exit exam people. Nothing irks me more than when someone tells me “your going to…” No no no stop yourself right there buddy boy. I am about to start twitching even writing this.

The worst thing ever happened to me with one of my ex-boyfriends. I was asking him how his sports practice went, and I kid you not, he told me “are coach” instead of "our coach." WHAT. No wonder college wasn’t for him.

Mouth breathers and close talkers

I. like. My. bubble. This includes a sound bubble. Unless you’re sick or working out please do not let me hear you breathing from 5 feet away. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy you’re alive, just be alive more quietly please and thank you.

Toilet paper that is facing the wrong way.

If this is one of your pet peeves you will know EXACTLY what I am talking about. I’m not sure why there is not a universal standard on which direction toilet paper should be facing, but let’s get our act together, okay?

Besides those main annoying as all get-out pet peeves, here is a list of funny and oh-so-true pet peeves from GetAnnyoed.com…

Sick people who cough near you.

People that pop and smack their chewing gum.

People who invite you out somewhere then cancel.

Anyone – male or female- who says “We’re pregnant”. Are they sharing a uterus?

People who refer to themselves in the third person.

Overuse of the words like and um.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
