We dont want to hear it

The few things people say that really tend to grind my gears.

Many of us growing up have been making a mental note of things we just do not like to hear. weather it be about us, our friends, our family, or even something we enjoy doing. We all know deep down what these things are, but I think the biggest thing is, we don't vocalize it when others say it. A few of the main things people say, that really grind my gears are as followed:

1. "Wow (insert food you are about to consume) is so gross."
Thanks, ya know I was going to eat it but now, now I'm going to throw it in the trash.

2. " That's not very ladylike"
That's nice, but I don't care. Maybe I don't want to be lady like.

3. "You should go to church more"
Yeah and you should too because you have too much time on your hands to tell me to go.

4. *while yelling across store* "What size are you again?"
I'm no size, I will just get it myself thank you. I didn't need the whole store to know what size I am.

5. "Are you wearing that again?"
Yes I am wearing it again, I have a washer and dryer and I enjoy it so YES MOM I AM GOING TO WEAR IT AGIAN.

6. " Is that a good choice?"
No probably not, but sometimes its the not so good choices that make life interesting

7. "You should really drink decaf"
Yeah should I? Well unless you want me to be antisocial I think Ill get regular

8."I've had it worse"
Well I'm sorry you perceive it that way but everyone reacts/responds differently to things, so unfortunately, I don't now about that.

9."Wow, *(insert Ex's name here)* has really upgraded."
Thank you, thank you so much for bringing up that irrelevant individual up and telling how great their life is going compared to mine.

10." Before I met you I thought you were really mean"
This has to be one of my favorites. Like wow thank you, I am so glad you thought I was mean and I was able tp alter your opinion on me.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
