10 Things Everyone Hates

Slow drivers are the worst.

Brown paper packages tied up with string... can you relate to my least favorite thiinnnggss?

1. Semis and speed-limit sticklers when I'm running late

I'm convinced all the slow-movers pull out right when they see me coming. It's some sort of conspiracy. But I'm on to them.

2. When the dog conveniently forgets her bathroom location is *outside* the house

No further details necessary.

3. When the DVD release date can't come soon enough

April 25th is too long to wait for La La Land. 3 days? Too long.

4. When I'm misunderstood

No matter how careful I try to be with the tone of voice and words I use, I guess I have to come to realize that there will always be interpretation errors. I can't be in everyone's brain to make sure they judge me correctly. It's sure annoying, though!

5. Coupons with a million exclusions

My mom and I were shopping in a particular store one time and there was literally nothing our coupon applied to except one teeny-tiny section of items we had no use for. The exclusions list font size was readable only with a magnifying glass and took up 3/4 of the coupon itself. Not cool.

6. That weird, inedible gelled chocolate on the flap of a pudding cup

The picture helped, didn't it? Or maybe if this problem is an impassioned hate for you like it is for me, you knew exactly what I was talking about! Such a waste of perfectly good chocolate.

7. Talkers unwilling to listen

What really bugs me is when I'm in a very one-sided conversation. There's no asking how I'm doing, or what Ithink of something. I love to listen to people. And there's definitely situations where I am more than happy to make my time all about them. But there's gotta be some genuine interest on their end in other times, too.

8. How quickly fast food bills add up

I mean, I spend $4 one day, and before I know it, I've spent $50. Addition just should not be incorporated into food matters. If you're hungry, you should be able to eat and not worry about all your Taco Bell purchases adding up. Just eat. No math. Sigh.

9. How quickly homework piles up

Kinda like the fast food. I put off one assignment, and pretty soon, I'm finally working the night before 5 deadlines. Next week, next week I tell yourself, I will get on top of things. If you'd peer through my window, though, you'd see that that gloriously organized "next week" never comes.

10. Selfish tendencies

Everyone struggles with selfishness from time to time, but there are definitely some who give in to it way too much. Just the presence of another human being with needs seems to be enough to make them want to move to some uninhabited planet.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
