10 College Pet Peeves

You are probably the person on campus that everyone hates if you do these things.

Old Dominion University

After your first couple semesters on campus, you will start to hate people that do certain things and wish they would drop out because of the way they act. I CAN'T EVEN!

1. Walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk.

I see you and I hate you. all of you. I almost walk into you full force because you haven't learned proper walking etiquette. We drive on the right side, we walk on the right side when walking towards people ALWAYS!

2. Taking someone else's seat in class.

Yes, I am talking to you, guy in my Public Relations Class.

3. Standing on the middle of the sidewalk with others while people are trying to get around you.

4. People who are a distraction during class.

SHUT UP and Turn off your loud music I am trying to get a degree here.

5. Pen clickers and gum chompers.

Just stahp! Find another annoying tick that doesn't disturb someone trying to focus. Chomping gum does not make you look attractive at all.



6. Parents who bring their sick kids to class.

Why are you trying to get the entire class sick?!?! You let your kid play, cry, and scream while I am trying to get an A on this quiz. What are you thinking?! I just need to know!!


7. Classmates who don't participate at all in group projects and make one person do all of the work.

It is not fair. All you do is sit there when we meet up. I wonder what you listen to in your headphones or think about since you don't say anything or do anything to help.

8. People who smell awful or don't shower.

There is such thing as deodorant you know.

9. When people don't show up to class until test day.

Like really? I worked my butt off to be here every day I can while you sleep and drink or do whatever until test day. Don't even try to act like you care on test day and take someone else's seat and ask questions before the test. Your fault. I hope the professor has an attendance policy.

10. Boring lectures without pictures or activities.

Dear professor, please be a little less boring and monotone and help your students out. It helps us learn and pay attention. Thank you.

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.
