5 Things That Annoy Every College Student

But really, why are you in my seat?

5 Things That Annoy Every College Student

Being in college has its perks and drawbacks. A perk being more freedom and a drawback can be a loss of sleep. With us running on a few hours of sleep, we can get annoyed pretty easily by almost anyone or anything. Here are five things that definitely grind all of our gears:

1. Being chronically late to class

Being late once or twice is fine because it happens to everyone. Being chronically late is a whole other story. It is extremely annoying to hear that door open and close. You are also disrupting the class in the swing of things. It throws off some people's concentration and it leaves them feeling annoyed that they can't focus anymore. At least try to be quiet instead of slamming the door.

2. Standing in the middle of the walkway

Other people have to get to class and you standing in the middle of the walkway is not helping. Move out the way and stand to the side. Some people are trying to finish their day up fast.

3. Complaining about something, yet doing nothing about it

If you want something to change, either give a suggestion or leave me alone. I hate it when people are complaining about something, yet will not do anything about it. Yes, I understand your pain, but unless you give an idea of how to make it better, shut up about it.

4. Not taking care of equipment or rooms

The school pays for certain items for students to use. If there is a misfit bunch that decides to destroy stuff or not take care of it properly, then obviously the school is not going to give it back to us.

5. Constantly switching seats

You sit in one seat at the beginning of the semester. If you want to change it, then that is fine. However, DO NOT STEAL SOMEONE'S SEAT! I am sure there are other empty chairs in the classroom, I picked that seat for a reason so don't take it. If you are moving to sit with a friend, then you guys find TWO empty spots. It annoys me to no great end to find out I need another seat. I am in the middle because I do not like being close to the board, but I still need to be somewhat close because I have horrible vision. Have some courtesy.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
