10 Stages Of Anger
Psychology Today

Having a short temper has its positives and negatives. Actually more negatives than positives. The one positive is that people will never take advantage of you because they are scared of you half the time. They do not know when you will reach your boiling point and burst into a fiery stream of anger. The ten stages of anger escalate very quickly. It is only natural to reach the next stage. Anything can tick these people off, a weird look or even the smallest comment can set them to the level of rage.

1. Bothered.

When something in a situation bothers you, you can't help it. This is the stage when you roll your eyes in the back of your head. You just can't deal!

2. Mild irritation.

This is the stage when you know you are right because you always are anyway. But other people may be questioning you. You may show this face.

3. Annoyed

This is the stage where you do not care what other people think. You are you, and that is the way it will stay. This stage may include some sassy hair flips and uncontrollable eye rolling.

4. Indignation

This stage is the first step to confrontation. You may not be able to use your words, but do not fret the other person will get the message.

5. Frustrated

This stage is about trying to take your anger out on inanimate objects because you can't do it on the real thing. This is a socially accepted stage.

6. Infuriated


Next, is the stage where there is uncontrollable screaming. It may not be to anyone, but it helps contain your anger. Warning, you may lose your voice.

7. Hostile

This stage is also about using inanimate objects... to hurt someone. It helps because you personally do not have to get your hands dirty.

8. Wrath

This stage is all about threatening someone. But don't be fooled, these may or may not be empty threats. Who knows?

9. Fury

This stage is when you go a little too far. This is when your threats come to life. Warning, you may or may not feel guilty.

10. Rage.

This is the final stage of anger. This is where you go full hulk mode. There is no going back after this stage. The damage is done.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

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.
