12 Pet Peeves We All Have

Honestly, some things just annoy the living daylights out of us.

Everyone has pet peeves. Some people's pet peeves are a little more interesting than the norm, but many of us share the same everyday announces, like when people don't use a turn signal, or when someone doesn't use the correct pronunciation of a word. Some pet peeves can be personal, but most, like the ones that follow, every person can probably relate to in everyday life.

1. When people don't use their turn signals.

To those who turn on their signal right when they turn: You're dead to me. Does anyone else honk if someone doesn't signal?

2. People who don't say "please" or "thank you."

You know, it's good to be polite to others. Like, did your mom not teach you any manners when you were living at home?

3. When people use "your" instead of "you're" in a text...

Is it so hard to spell that word correctly?! Ross knows how I feel day-to-day... I so want to point it out, but I don't out of politeness.

4. When someone doesn't replace the toilet paper roll.

You are the devil. It is so easy to just replace this for next person. New rolls are probably under the sink, or you can simple ask for a new roll.

5. When someone reads your text but doesn't respond.

Don't open it if you aren't going to respond. Or at least send me a one-word response, please?

6. When people chew with their mouth open.

Gross... I don't want to see that. Please shut your gob; no one cares to see your chewed dinner.

7. When people try and tell you you're wrong when you are clearly right.

Stop, I'm right. You just want to be right when you know you're wrong. I am never wrong.

8. When someone tries to sing along to a song but they don't know the lyrics.

If you don't know them, at least lip sync them. Don't spoil my song, yo.

9. When you have that friend who didn't like that band such-and-such but then likes them when they win an MTV award.


Don't become one of those bandwagon fans! I was in love with them well before you even liked them.

10. When someone mispronounces your name.

I understand I have quite the exotic last name, but please don't make the "Y" sound like a "J." Or at least ask me how to say my last name. Kudos to those who pronounce it right the first time!

11. When someone mishandles your favorite book.


Please, not my paperback. Don't open them up all the way. They're delicate!!!!

12. When people assume that your hobby/job/major is so easy for anyone to do.

It's not easy, y'all. It takes hard work and dedication!

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.
