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.

Top 10 College Pet Peeves

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 don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
