Top 10 College Pet Peeves

College is overall an amazing experience for anyone to have, but there are just a few things that really get under students' skin.

College is often portrayed as an adolescent's paradise in modern television and film, but is that so true to reality? Here are the top 10 things that will annoy any college student.

1. The dreaded "Slow-Walkers"

We all encountered these people in the crowded hallways of our high schools, but now, just as soon as we thought that we were free from those who block the entire walkway with their sloth-like movement, they strike again. Only, this time, we're late to class and getting points docked. This time, it's personal.

2. Roommate or Suitemate Drama

Ah, yes. The people you will be living with for the next 9 months of your life who you don't know and may or may not have anything in common with. Yeah...no chance of drama there...

3. Sharing a Laundry Room

The task of doing laundry itself isn't the problem here. The problem is that there are people who will take your clothes out of the washer or dryer when they are clearly not done and replace them with their own clothes. Those people suck.

4. Sharing a Bathroom

Do you want to take a nice, long shower without interruption? Do you want to be able to use the restroom whenever you want without someone trying to open the door? Do you want to be able to bathe without someone coming in and using the toilet literally three feet from you? If you answered yes to any of these, you will not like college bathrooms.

5. Sharing in General

Eh. I'm spoiled.

6. Professors that try to keep you in class longer than your allotted time

Please stop. We've suffered enough.

7. High School Drama continuing into College

Seriously, guys? We've graduated. Get over your grudge for that girl who, "looked at you the wrong way that one time in the student section."

8. When literally anything breaks

Expensive or cheap, anything that breaks becomes a catastrophic moment as it will likely be replaced with the swipe of your credit card, and we all know how important every penny is to a college student.

9. People who are always looking for the party

College kids have been stereotyped to party hard all day every day, but that is an entirely inaccurate assumption...for most people. So to those of you who drink like it's your job, relax, grab your sweatpants, and come watch a movie with the rest of us in the common room. We have snacks.

10. Human Megaphones

Yes, being rowdy can be a lot of fun, but please...not at 4 am. I have a class in the morning. Have mercy on my sleep schedule.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
