Just reading this list is stressing me out.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
