Things That Annoy Me

I was wanting to type a nice and positive article to start the new year, but this was what I came up with.

Things That Annoy Me

1.) Slow People: I hate people who walk slowly in front of me. I'm sorry, but this is unforgivable. I'm not asking for anyone to walk fast, I'm just saying walk with a purpose you know?

2.) Some Parents: Now I could talk about this one for a while, but I can sum it down into two scenarios where some parents annoy me the most. The first one being when parents refuse to control their kids in a public place. When kids are loud and obnoxious, I can almost deal with that in most situations. However, when parents are completely oblivious to the situation, and just allow it to continue without a care in the world, that's when I get annoyed. The second situation is kind of like the other side of the coin. This is when some parents blow up on their kids whenever the kids do something minimal. I saw this all the time at my lifeguard job. Parents would yell at their young kids when they did almost nothing wrong, and I would get quite frustrated at that.

3.) Bad Drivers: I don't often think that I am the type of person with road rage, but the more I think about it, I am that person. Bad drivers or oblivious drivers honestly make me so mad.

4.) Phone Notifications: I feel like I get notifications almost every waking second of the day. 90% of them I don't even acknowledge at this point.

5.) Moms On Social Media: Now this one I definitely will catch heat for, but moms on social media annoy me.

6.) People Who Have Conversations Over The Phone On Speaker: This I will never understand. Why does anyone feel the need to let everyone know what they are talking about? On top of that, the speakerphone is meant for hands-free use. Therefore, why would you put the phone on the speaker just to hold it next to your ear?

I apologize for the semi-negative post but, I feel like a lot of people can relate to some of these things. :)

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
