15 Of The Worst Pet Peeves

I just don't understand...

Everyone has their quirks, and they’re entitled to them. Maybe I have too many pet peeves, but I can’t help the things that bother me. There are just some things that make my skin crawl and my patience fly out the window.

1. Slow walkers

If you have somewhere to go, walk with a purpose for the love of my sanity. If you're out for a stroll, don't stroll in the middle of the sidewalk in everyone's way.

2. Chewing with your mouth open

You sound and look disgusting. I don't know why no one ever taught you to close your mouth.

3. People who are late

If you have plans to be somewhere at 5:30 P.M., don't take a nap right beforehand. I will call you and most likely wake you up. Just stick to the plan and be there on time; it's really not hard.

4. Uggs and Crocs

I don't know people still wore these until I got to college. But seriously? They're gross, and Uggs are cruel. Just put on a pair of sneakers, or anything that's not Uggs or Crocs.

5. People who type loud or hard on their keyboards

Who hurt you so much that you have to take it out on your keyboard? Seriously?

6. “Ain’t”


This doesn't exist. You can't break this contraction down because it doesn't exist. You sound idiotic when you use it.

7. People who don’t hold eye contact

It's not hard. When someone is talking to you, just look at them. Hold eye contact. That's just plain respectful.

8. Nail-biters

This is one of the most disgusting habits a person could have. I will threaten to put vinegar on fingers.

9. Snapping at someone to get their attention

This is just downright rude, and there's a good chance I'm not doing whatever you're about to ask of me.

10. People who need to wear their glasses but choose not to

If you need glasses to see, wear them. If you have a slight prescription or reading glasses, that's a different story. I'm talking people who can't see without their glasses, will choose not to wear them, and then complain that they can't see.

11. Their/There/They’re and Your/You’re

People make mistakes, so you're bound to mess these up every now and then. There are just some people who genuinely don't know the difference.

12. People who drag their feet

Are your shoes that heavy that you have to slide your feet everywhere? It makes you sound like a lazy person; just pick your damn feet up.

13. Unassigned assigned seat stealers

There's no reason for you to steal my seat, especially when it's the last month of the semester, and you KNOW that's my seat.

14. People who breathe/laugh

I mean when you sigh/laugh. Like there isn't a "hahaha" in the laugh, just air. When this is the only way a person laughs, I want to rip my ears off.

15. Mumblers

Enunciate. Speak up. It's really not that hard, and I'm sure you don't want to repeat yourself that many times anyway.

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.
