9 Things That Drive Me Bonkers

These are my pet peeves.

9 Things That Drive Me Bonkers
Megan Thackston

There are a few things in this world that drive me absolutely bonkers. I am not the most organized person by all means, but these few things really irk my nerves and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just extra.

1. When the cheese packet isn't torn evenly.

I know there is a tear here sign and if you can't tear it evenly yourself get some scissors. I have unevenly torn a few myself and felt like I failed at life.

2. The volume in my car or on my TV must be on an even number.

If I get into my car and the radio is on an uneven number I know someone else must have driven it, or someone is trying to mess with my feelings.

3. Loud chewing, or gulping on drinks.

I can not deal with noises. I eat with the TV or radio loud enough that I don't even hear the forks scratch the plate or I give everyone plastic silverware. If you have to breathe real loud after taking a drink you need to slow your roll.

4. Clapping at the end of a movie in a movie theater.

No one in the movie, nor the producers can hear you cheering. You look foolish. Can you please move your legs or get up so I can leave before the parking lot floods?

5. When people pull the race card for everything.

No one is pulling the race card every time they speak. Chill out, people can dislike a president or an idea without being a racist. The "race card" is a cheat-shot way to get your way because nobody wants to be labeled a racist.

6. People who seek attention all the time.

You're only a "big deal" to your loved ones. I'm sure you are a lovely person, but constantly bragging about yourself and throwing your success in everyone's face gets old. We get you're successful.

7. When I'm talking about someone and the person I am talking to drags out the first name until I say the last.

Me: "Oh, Sue came in the library today."

Person of annoyance: "Sueeeeeeeee..."

Me: "Sue Jones!" (while rolling eyes)

Would it kill you to simply say " Sue who?" You just wasted five minutes of my life that I will never get back.

8. Really thick eyebrows. Is that an upside down canoe or an eyebrow?

Eyebrows have become an art. Thick or thin, dark or light, get a second opinion before experimenting. It's your face for crying out loud not a floor that you can add a fuzzy rug to for decoration.

9. People who breath loud.

I'm not sure if you have asthma or just happen to be a mouth breather. Either way take a breathing treatment or contact a physician because I'm about to scream!

Yes, I have Misophonia, literally ‘hatred of sound,’ is a form of decreased sound tolerance. People who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or even enraged, by the sound of other people eating, breathing, coughing, or other ordinary sounds.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
