Generally, I consider myself a friendly, accepting and uneasily-angered person. Having said that, there are some things that I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT STAND. I can't help it. They get under my skin, make me uncomfortable or come off unreasonably stupid to me. I really just wish they weren't allowed...like, in general...in the world. Does that make me difficult? Does that make me irritable? Maybe. Personally, I think it just makes me human. I mean, come on, think of how many stupid pet peeves you have; some are rational, some are ridiculous, some are random, but all are somehow completely valid in your opinion.

Here's a list of 32 tiny things that make me (and I'm sure many of you) roll my eyes or freak the freak out:

1. When someone texts me "hey" and I respond right away...and then they don't ever answer.

2. When a driver gets mad that I tried to let them go at an intersection and insists that I go instead.

3. People who don't know the difference between "apart" and "a part."

4. When the person in the car behind me thinks honking at a red light will somehow make the miles of traffic disappear.


5. When retail (*cough, cough* Zumiez) employees literally follow me around the store.

6. When someone wears regular clothes to the gym.

7. When women who are barely older than me who call me "hun".

8. When someone accents the wrong syllable of a word/makes up a pronunciation.

9. When someone randomly texts "Whats up" in the middle of a conversation as if we hadn't already been talking for a while.

10. When you tell someone they can have a sip of your drink/bite of your food and they think that means the whole thing.

11. When a parent recites their 1+-year-old child's age in terms of months (trying to test my math skills or something).

12. When someone puts ketchup directly onto their fries instead of dipping their fries into the ketchup.

13. When someone points out that I have holes in my obviously purposefully-distressed jeans.

14. When someone refers to taking things "for granite" instead of "for granted".

15. The fact that some crazy person decided to create car eyelashes.

16. When a friend suggests you watch a movie together and then texts the whole time.

17. When someone eats all of the good parts (the brown circle-y things) out of the Chex Mix.

18. When someone denies the scientifically proven fact that Will Ferrel is hysterical (sorry, but not really sorry, to my roommate).

19. When girls post obviously-attractive pictures of themselves on social media with captions about being unattractive.

20. When someone I thought I might be into texts, "Let's play 20 questions".


21. Cheesy bumper stickers.

22. When someone says "belly" instead of "stomach."

23. People that pronounce "huge" as "you-ge".

24. When someone chews loudly or with their mouth open.

25. When girls wear heels with sweatpants.

26. Smart cars.

27. Sneaker heels.

28. When the average Joe Shmo puts "Public Figure" in their Instagram bio.

29. When someone consistently posts every detail about their personal/family life on social media.

30. When someone suddenly labels them self a photographer because they bought a nice camera.

31. When food sample people at the mall refuse to let me continue my day until I try a sample.

32. When mall kiosk workers won't rest until I let them straighten my hair, try a hoverboard or take 100 business cards.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
