13 Things I Absolutely Hate

Seriously, all of these suck.

13 Things I Absolutely Hate

I'm pretty sure that at least once a day I see/hear/witness/experience something that leaves me in awe. This awe is not of wonder, but of disbelief and disappointment. Then again, maybe it is wonder, just not a good form of it. After a rather "wonder-filled" first week of classes, I decided to write and review all of my "wonder-inducing" sights and experiences. These things grind my gears, drive me mad, piss me off and make me lose all faith in society.

13. Girl cliques

Yes, let's only talk to girls who fit our list of requirements and glare and snicker at everyone else, but then gossip within our clique. Ah, high school really never ends for some. Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized/judged/annoyed by a stupid girl clique. Anyone?

12. The know-it-all

Seriously, ask me anything—politics, sports, economics, foreign policy, molecular biology, fashion, philosophy. I can honestly give you an unbiased, educated and humble answer. But don’t try to challenge me, because I know I’m right and it doesn’t matter if I can or can’t support my answer. So this must be why Trump leads the polls.

11. Inaccurate book-based movies

Let’s make this timeless literary masterpiece into a movie. If we change the ending and add a little extra steamy romance it will break box office records. It’s just not good enough “as is.” Let's face it. In a hundred years, people will talk more about "The Force Awakens" than "Pride and Prejudice."

10. “Frozen”

Girl power is so totally awesome. Olaf is so cute. "Let It Go" might be the best Disney song ever! Ignore the inconsistent plot, poor decision-making characters and highlighting behaviors such as deception, isolation and selfishness. Anyone up for some "Frozen" fruit snacks?

9. Ghosting

I really don’t want to talk to her; that’s just so awkward. I’ll just ignore her texts, calls and avoid her at all costs. That way, I don’t have to deal with her anymore. Ah yes, because disappearing into thin air doesn’t cause any anxiety or stress or pain to other people. Maturity at its finest.

8. Poor sports announcer

He’s a “PTP (prime time player),” a real “diaper dandy!” Let me just remind you of this one play from a long time ago that wasn’t really that spectacular and completely ignore and disregard the game. My story is more interesting anyway. The game is greater than Dick Vitale's PTP stories.

7. Movies with ensemble casts

We each have our own storyline, but they all interconnect somehow, particularly through romance and holiday reunions. Don't forget the absolutely terrible soundtrack of top 40 love songs. Just like an NBA basketball team, only one, maybe two, stars are necessary in movies, guys.

6. The bandwagon fan

I live in Chicago, but the Yankees have 27 rings; therefore, they’re obviously the best. I only root for good teams. Let me guess. You also think A-Rod and Jeter resemble Jesus? What happens when the Yanks have a losing season? Are you a KC Royals fan? You probably also love "King James," too, huh?

5. Bad customers

I don’t understand why you don’t have this shirt in my size. The service here is terrible, I’ve been waiting in line for over eight minutes! God forbid sales associates are busy and stores are out of stock of apparel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the customer is always right. Well, sometimes, the customer is a rude idiot. Smile and keep your sanity, retail workers.

4. Attention-seeking social media posts

Selfie with an inspirational quote. Taylor Swift lyrics tweets. Tweets of photos with the caption, "This is so important." The signs you should roll your eyes, click unfollow and keep on scrolling through your newsfeed.

3. Listicles

I want to write an article but I don’t really feel like it. Maybe if I just write down a list and add some GIFs, pizza references and relate it all to "Grey’s Anatomy," the Internet will all go crazy? The irony.

2. Unrealistic yet ideal body goals

Itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face! Oh and rock hard abs, porcelain skin, thigh gaps, long flowing hair and eyebrows on fleek. So long to natural beauty, hello contour. For assistance, please seek out MAC for a free makeup tutorial although it also requires donating $100 from your bank account.

1. The bad texter

Ah yes, the infamous AIM conversation texter, the no-text-back texter, the never-answers-your-question texter, the confronts-only-over-text texter, the single-thought-in-multiple-text texter, the ignorant-of-grammar-rules texter. You all are the reason texting sucks. Answer your text! It really isn’t that hard.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
