11 Frustrating Occurrences That are Out of Our Control
Matt Bailey

Ever feel as if nothing is going your way? Good, because we all do and nearly everything that sends you over the edge of throwing a temper tantrum is similar to many others! Here are 11 times where frustration gets the better of us and causes a flipping out of some sort!

1. Traffic

UGH! Even just thinking about the early morning or rush hour traffic is just annoying.

2. Cell Phone Service

Dropped calls! No Internet! In today's day and age losing cell phone service is probably one of the orst things that can happen.

3. Telemarketers/Advertisements

Whether it be a 30 second ad before a Youtube video, or a telemarketer call you on your personal phone, advertisements can be the most inconveinent and time consuming things ever.

4. Batteries Dying

Right in the middle of the big game, a video game, or anything that involves batteries is the worst time! However you knew these batteries started to die when you started switching them around and trying to get the last juice.

5. Car Problems

Enough Said. It always seems to be the worst timing when the car starts to malfunction.

6. Plans Falling Through

When someone cancels plans it is as if an entire space of time is just gone. If you were excited about the plans, then this could be a seriously let down.

7. Mornings

Rolling out of bed in the morning is probably one of the most horrific things to witness. Although we all do it, we can all admit it can be frustrating from time to time.

8. Clickbaiting

A video draws you in with the thumbnail and while watching you notice that the thumbnail has nothing to do with the actual video! WHY WASTE MY TIME!

9. Pay Days

It is always on the worst day! Why did I not get paid yesterday when I needed money!

10. Computer Crashes, Word Document Does not Save

In college this may be the bane of my existence. Losing all of the saved writing and then venturing into the depths of the computer and still coming to the conclusion that the document is unobtainable is simply, the worst.

11. Waiting for the Next Episode

It is the season finale and you know it. After this episode it will be an entire year before the newest season! Once it is over, it is over.... The showhole exists!

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.
