11 Things Your S.O. Does That Will Drive You Up A Wall

Contrary to the cliché that girlfriends sleep in crazier positions than their boyfriends, I find that it is quite the opposite.

On a daily basis, there are a multitude of things that your significant other does that can get under your skin. Now I'm sure all of you have at some point been in the middle of these moments and thought "I can't be the only one that thinks this is annoying." Well, good news: You aren't alone! Speaking as an extremely invested and loving girlfriend, here are all of the things that my SO does that gets on my nerves... while also remaining extremely cute.

1. Eats Nutella out of the jar with their fingers.

So when I am watching TV on the couch at 11 p.m. and walk into the kitchen and turn the lights on, my 6'3" goofball of a boyfriend is scooping Nutella with his bare hands. But seriously, there is a spoon not 12 inches from your hand and you want to scoop it with three fingers?

2. Takes up more of the bed than you do.

Contrary to the cliché that girlfriends sleep in crazier positions than their boyfriends, I find that it is quite the opposite. Due to the simple fact that he is a foot taller than me, he naturally takes up more room than myself and also sleeps as if he is jumping out of a plane to skydive.

3. You do almost all of the cooking.

There are a few select recipes that are made for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and beyond that, the world of cooking is a mystery to the love of my life. The chicken and rice could use some spicing up. So mostly, I do the majority of the cooking and earn lots of bonus points in chef department.

4. They play video games all the time.

If you ask them for help from somewhere in the kitchen, you know that you are summoning them from their Playstation or Xbox somewhere else in the house.

5. Matching colors is a mystery all in itself, so they wear the same three outfits.

You see an outfit that would look so nice on them, but instead of buying it for them, you go with something more casual. You do this because inside, you know that if you did indeed buy it for them, it would sit in the back of the closet till the next major holiday.

6. Things that seem like common sense to you, are not always common sense to them.

When I moved into my dorm for school, I needed to hang the shower curtain with the little hooks that go on the pole. I asked my boyfriend if he could hang it for me, and 5 minutes later I come back and he hasn't clipped a single one together... he said it was too hard and couldn't be done. So I had to go in there and show him in 3 seconds what he was doing wrong.

7. He decides to do dumb things just cause he can, as shown below.

And then he gets instant karma by tripping into me. But I still love him.

8. Smacking their lips because they think eating like a cow is funny.

That tends to "grind" on one's nerves...

9. Being an uncultured swine.

I'm the movie buff and he is addicted to all of the shows... so we both think that the other is the most sheltered person on the planet.

10. Driving like a maniac.

He pretends like he is racing every car that we pull up next to and makes me feel like he is running stunts for the next James Bond movie.

11. Waiting for a text... forever.

You know when you are at the store and you need to figure out what type of wine goes with dinner, so you text the love of your life wanting to see what they think, and then they don't respond? Yeah. Or you tell them something and then they don't respond for 4 hours and forget what you said? Yeah, that too.

In spite of all these things that annoy (and sometimes scare) me, I still love my significant other to the moon and back. I don't know what I would do without him always making my day inevitably more interesting, and I definitely don't know how he survived on his own before me. And I'm sure he has a few things to say to me about all the stupid stuff I do. But oh well, I'm the one writing the article.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
