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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
