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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
