The Top 3 Things I Don't Get About People

Everyday Things that Make no Sense

The Top 3 Things I Don't Get About People
The Odyssey Online

There are many things about people my age that confuse me to no end. I often find myself wondering just why people do certain specific things pretty much every day. Here is a list of a few of those things:

1. Talking to Someone on their Cell Phone in a Public Bathroom

If people don't know it's being done, that's fine, but when you're talking to someone either normally or using speakerphone, that's when it gets weird. It's really weird when you're talking to someone on speakerphone because public bathrooms tend to make voices echo. If you're not alone, the other people in the bathroom are going to think that you're really strange and quite possibly gross. And I do believe that the person on the other end of the call can hear you in the bathroom, so that makes the situation weird and uncomfortable for them as well. It really makes no sense to me why people do this.

2. Insulting/Swearing at your Friends On Purpose

I couldn't have friends like this, I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. Apparently this is a norm among many friend groups, and I just don't understand why. Who is totally comfortable with calling a friend a 'b--ch' and laughing about it? It just makes no sense. If an outside observer heard that, they might think that you were having a fight with your friend or something. As comfortable as you are around your friends, I don't believe that swearing at and insulting each other is ever necessary.

3. Making Loud & Unnecessary Noise

I can understand screaming with joy after you see a friend you haven't seen in a while (though that's irksome as well), but screeching loud enough to echo down a hallway after you've only been apart for a few hours is simply ridiculous. On top of that, you can have conversations about something exciting at a normal noise level instead of shouting back and forth about it. I really don't understand people that feel the need to do this. You will get a lot of dirty looks from others if you're out in public doing this.

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?

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.

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!)
