8 Irritating Noises That Drive You Insane

I don't know about you guys, but I have an unusual amount of pet peeves. I don't know if it is a problem or if there is just something wrong with me, but any sort of bodily noise or just annoying noises in general drive me legitimately crazy. Turns out IT'S A REAL THING. I googled it, because my family got really tired of me telling them to shut up or close their mouthes, and turns out its called misophonia, and I definitely have it.

Misophonia is literally the "hatred of sound" and you generally have strong negative feelings, thoughts, and physical reactions to specific sounds. If you are with me, these list of things will definitely remind you of somethings you wanted to jump out the window.

1. Chewing with your mouth open/ crunching loudly/ smacking.

This, right here, is hands down the worst, most aggravating one. This one really boils my blood. Something about the sounds the mouth can make is just... ugh let's stop talking about it.

2. The sound of a phone alarm during the day.


That sound is horrifying and brings back bad memories man.

3. Someone clicking their pen.


Can you please not.

4. Agressive typing.


People are so obnoxious I swear.

5. Rustling of papers/ opening of chip bags.


I'm gonna flip.

6. People tapping their feet/ shaking their legs.

I will not be able to concentrate on anything if I have to watch your leg shaking uncontrollable, please contain that.

7. Hummers/ whistlers


Don't you just kinda wanna hit that guy? La de da shut up.

8. Sniffles


Constantly want to hand the sniffling kid in class a tissue.


Well, if you're anything like me, just thinking about those 8 things drove you insane. It kinda sucks, I know, and you don't want to be rude to people and yell at them to stop. But you can at least think these things right? At least you now know that theres someone with ya...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
