Whether it is people chomping on their food too loud, the dragging noise that people make in flip flops, or even chasing after a ping-pong ball that will not stop bouncing, we all have our peeves.
Don't get me wrong, the University of Arizona is the best school, hands-down. We've got our nice weather, our amazing basketball team, our fun bars and our Greek life all in the place we call "school." (If you can even refer the U of A in that way.)
But once again, we all have our pet peeves. Attending this school for four years, I have realized that there are some things that just tick me off more than ever. Even at an amazing school such as this one, nothing is perfect.
1. When the "Red Dot" on D2L gives you a heart attack.
No matter if I think I aced the test, it still is terrifying when I see that red dot. The absolute worst thing is when you have a red dot and it's just a "UITS Unscheduled Service Interruption"....like, c'mon. That is cruel.
2. When there is the Nile River from monsoon season because #NoDrains.
You think we live in the desert. Yeah — I thought so too! You would think Tucson would get some drains at this point, but no, let's just make the students float to class. Seems like a good idea to me. Don't forget your rain boots and rain jacket, Wildcats!
3. When you see people walking barefoot because of the puddles.
No one wants to see your nasty feet walking to class on the nasty sidewalk. Please put your shoes on.
4. When you are driving in circles looking for a parking spot for Monday night chapter.
I get it, we have a lot of Greek students all starting chapter at the same time. Unfortunately, there are only so many spots in Harvill or the Sigma Chi lot for us to park in.
5. When there is no point in looking cute because you know you will be sweating walking to class.
It is October, and it is still 96 degrees. When will this end? Sorry to all my friends, but my hair will be either up or curly for the next few months because there is no point to straightening my hair. #SorryNotSorry
6. When you turn the corner in the bookstore and the Starbucks line is out the door.
I just want my pumpkin spice latte!
7. When you wake up at 6 am to register for classes and you only get the rainbow wheel of death.
8. When you are stuck driving behind the Street Car.
This was a great invention, and I am all for it....except when you are stuck behind the giant, 5 mph thing that stops every block. It is the worst feeling knowing you can't pass a car in front of you.
9. When you almost get killed by a biker on the mall...
This is a daily thing for the Wildcats. Bikers fly by so fast on the mall and you never see their hand signals! Just look both ways, and we should be fine! (Hopefully.)
10. When your Bursur bill is billions of dollars.
"I only bought textbooks, I swear!" ...And a hoodie, a car sticker, pencils, bagel talk, and tailgating socks...but I really needed everything!
Every school is going to have its perks, and every school is going to have its peeves. And these are the top 10 (in my opinion) biggest pet peeves at the U of A.
I still love being a Wildcat and don't forget to #BearDown through the pet peeves.
