You know what really grinds my gears?

Those rascal scooters that people just HAVE to drive all over Disney World. And not to mention the people who bring a one-month-old baby, and still describe it as "their first trip." No – that is not even 1GB of memory.

I could go on and on, and I'm going to. We've all had those days where every little tiny thing annoys the absolute H-E-double hockey sticks out of you. So I have done you, readers, the honor of compiling together a list of things that commonly annoy most people (or people who just get annoyed easily, like me).


1. People who complain too much

Yeah, I get it. Here I am writing an article about all the things that annoy me. But hey, I'm not complaining, per say. I'm simply stating the things that annoy me.

But seriously, people who complain too much get on my nerves. Sometimes you just want to squeeze someone's head extremely hard and scream "SHUT UP," when every sentence out of their mouth is negative. Don't kill my buzz, Nancy.

2. Slow walkers, drivers, breathers... ANYTHING relatively slow

I am a busy woman. Every day I have something new to do, and I'm usually in a time crunch. I don't have time for people who drive 10 miles under the speed limit because they're texting their BFF Jill.

Get out of my way. Just move over. I have places to go and people to see. K thanks bye.

3. Screaming children

I get it, parenting is hard. Sometimes it actually drives parents into depressions and acute anxieties.

But there is absolutely no reason as to why I have to listen to your child cry because they can't get a toy or you won't let them play with your phone. THAT is where discipline comes into play, my friends.


4. People who talk when I'm trying to read

For anyone that does not know, I am a college student that takes many history classes and I have to read all of the time.

What really grinds my gears is when I am studying and people talk to me. Not being a butthead, but seriously, if you see someone studying just let them study and catch them after class. It would be appreciated.

5. People who chew too loudly

Do I really need to explain this one?

6. To add on to #5, people who BREATHE too loudly

I cannot. And I mean cannot stand this. It might be the one thing that grinds my gears the most.


Well, there you have it. I hope others can relate to what annoys me because sometimes we all have one of those days. Maybe this will brighten yours.

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.
