43 Pet Peeves We Can All Agree On
Kurt Bubna

Everyone has their own little pet peeves--some weirder than others. There are many things that other humans do that make us cringe or clench our fists because they're so aggravating. Here are some pet peeves of mine that I think most of us can agree are really annoying.

1. When people don't know the difference between "your", "you're", "there", "their", and "they're".

2. When you're wearing flip flops and someone steps on your heel or feet.

3. When people tap on your shoulder instead of saying your name.

4. When people say "defiantly" instead of "definitely".

5. When someone uploads the same picture as you within the hour that you posted it.

6. When people don't use their blinker.

7. When people don't know the rules of the road at all.

8. When people don't close the shower curtain after using the shower.

9. When people don't shut the toilet seat.

10. People who can't eat quietly.

11. Or people who don't chew gum properly.

12. That kid who doesn't go to class and asks to borrow your notes.

13. When people have the volume up on their phone, and the keyboard clicks on.

14. SLOW WALKERS.

15. SLOW DRIVERS.

16. When the person who last used the toilet paper doesn't refill the roll.

17. People who don't clean up their dog's poop.

18. When people use their phone while placing an order at a counter.

19. When a movie has loud music but a quiet dialogue.

20. When someone talks during a movie,

21. When someone ruins the ending to a movie.

22. When you're watching a movie you've never seen before with someone who has and they say, "oh this is a good part!"

23. Hipsters.

24. When someone tries to board the elevator when people are still exiting it.

25. Tangled earbuds.

26. When someone's child is crying in a public place, and THEY AREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

27. People who text in movie theaters.

28. PDA between two preteens.

29. People who click their pens, especially during an exam.

30. When someone has dirty dishes lying out, even when they knew they were expecting company.

31. When people don't shut the lights off after leaving a room, even though it's very bright out and natural light can illuminate the room.

32. When people leave the TV on.

33. When things aren't straight.

34. When someone interrupts you when you're talking.

35. Or when someone tries to finish your sentence, but it's not what you were going to say...and then they keep trying and they're STILL WRONG.

36. When people don't respond to important emails.

37. When people budge you in line, or cut you off when you're walking.

38. When you miss a spot shaving.

39. When you rip off toilet paper or a paper towel and there's still a little piece left dangling.

40. When someone doesn't say excuse me.

41. Uneven numbers (like the radio volume).

42. When you're sharing chips with someone and they lick their fingers before dipping their hand back in the bag.

43. Double dippers.

So even though some of these may not apply to you, you have to admit most of them do. Please stop doing these things. Please.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
