Everyone has something that annoys them to no end.

20 Pet Peeves That Will Drive You Bonkers
The Odyssey Online

We all have our pet peeves. From people chewing gum loudly to someone walking slow in front of you, I have a compiled a list of things that I find annoying and others may find annoying too. If these things get on your nerves as much as they get on mine, you are not alone.

1. People who say "like" in almost every sentence.

"I was like...and then she was like..." Alright already. We get it!

2. People who smoke in front of non-smokers.

As an asthmatic, I find it very inconsiderate for a person to smoke right near me because cigarette smoke bothers my asthma.

3. That one loudmouth in class who thinks he/she knows everything.

Alright Mr./Miss Perfect, let someone else answer a question for once, will ya?

4. People who play with their phone when it's time to eat as a family.

Family is way more important than whoever is texting you at the moment.

5. People who go speeding through the crosswalk when they clearly see you trying to cross the street.

Whatever happened to giving pedestrians the right of way?

6. People who whine and complain about getting a B on a test.

Hey Whiney Pants, a B is a good grade. At least you didn't fail.

7. Parents who do nothing to control their screaming kid in public.

And they wonder why their kid misbehaves in the first place.

8. When your cat gets right in the way of where you need to go.

This happens to me quite often. When I need to get by, my cat just flops down right in the way of where I'm walking.

9. People who assume Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people are all the same.

Three different cultures, three different languages, three different countries. Stop making up silly stereotypes!

10. People who talk too loud in the library.

Seriously, go be obnoxious somewhere else instead of disturbing others who are trying to study.

11. Loud talkers in general.

Apparently, some people think they need to talk at 100 decibels to make sure everyone hears them. News flash: others can hear if you talk at a normal volume.

12. When someone walks super slow in front of you.

*internally screaming*

13. Loud gum chewers.

*Facepalm*

14. Line cutters.

Um hello, DID YOU NOT SEE ME STANDING RIGHT THERE? How rude!

15. When people say "suck it up" or "get over it" when someone is crying or feeling upset.

So, so disrespectful. Whatever happened to comforting or hugging an upset person? At least give them a shoulder to cry on, for goodness sake.

16. Today's music.

Modern songs are a disgrace to the music industry. Seriously, who wants to listen to songs about sex all the time?

17. Drivers who don't use their blinkers when turning or changing lanes.

Nice blinker you got there!

18. Vulgar conversations at the dinner table.

Seriously, save the toilet humor for another time!

19. Flies that swarm around food at a cookout.

Hands down the most annoying insects on this planet.

20. The ridiculous cost of college.

Don't even get me started on this one....

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.
