10 Things To Stop Getting Irrationally Mad About In 2017

You are way too sensitive.

10 Things To Stop Getting Irrationally Mad About In 2017

I think we can all agree here that 2016 was a big shit show.

Whether it be with your personal life, the lives of others, or with idiots on social media, we have all gotten really upset over some stupid things this year.



While everyone is making resolutions, let's reflect a little bit on the year we have experienced. Here are a few things to stop getting irrationally mad over in 2017.


1. Religion

Just why? I never understood this to begin with. I'm not super religious but I don't really care what other people practice, so why should you? Doesn't make sense to me.

2. Bad drivers

Let's be honest, we all have a bit of a road rage problem (me 100%). This year, let's try to not get mad about that guy cutting us off. Let's not try to get back at them and almost die in the process. Anger management. Breatheeeee.

3. Social media

There are idiots everywhere. Literally everywhere. Some of you are probably reading this thinking I'm an idiot. Whatever. But stop getting so mad at what people post on Facebook! Who cares that Jenny voted for Trump? Who cares that someone doesn't want to vaccinate their kids? Just stop. It's not you. Whatever.


4. Memes

Some people still don't understand that memes are supposed to be funny. Does it offend you? Okay, don't post it. Do what most people do and *gasp* scroll past it!


5. News

The news is here to help us stay up to date on the world around us. I'm sorry it's not all peachy and sunny and beautiful. It's the news. It's not there to make you happy all the time.


6. Politics

The election is over. Take it or leave it. Stop getting all worked up over it. Sorry. Also, stop posting about it on social media (I should take my own advice with number 3).


7. Relationships

So, you're single? You're in a relationship? Woo! Do whatever you want! Don't focus so much on other people. Work on yourself and do what you feel is best! Pro tip: don't compare relationships.


8. Celebrity drama

Honestly, I've always found this extremely stupid. Shoutout to TMZ because it's at least entertaining. But, why do people get so mad over what Kylie Jenner did? Why do people care who wore it better? Don't get me wrong, we are indeed a society obsessed with Hollywood. However, we need to stop comparing our lives to theirs and thinking they're better. Of course they're better! They're famous. Duh.


9. Odyssey articles


^ Very original, though. Never heard anyone say that before.

Oh, Odyssey. I love it. Why else would I write for it? This entire article is 110 percent my opinion! No one can take that away from me. But if you don't agree, great. That's your right and your opinion. Millions of people write for this, not just a few people at your school. So stop thinking that just because you don't agree with a few articles means you hate the entire website. Educate yo'self. Thx.

10. Everything

You guys are way too sensitive. Get over it. You're fine. Live your life.

Like the song says: don't worry, be happy!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
