Everyone has pet peeves, they may be extreme or subtle. But we can all agree on one thing, whatever the pet peeve(s) may be, it'll drive us f*cking insane. In college, we deal with enough stress concerning, you know, what we're going to do with the rest of our lives, so it'd be great if we didn't have to deal with these pet peeves. But if college has taught me anything, it's that we certainly can't win them all, so pet peeves you win this one.

1. People who ask to borrow something you can't borrow

If you're going to borrow my paper, I better get it back.

2. Not getting back whatever you let someone borrow

That was my only pencil.

3. People who don't cover their mouths when they sneeze/cough

Don't even get me started on the germs.

4. People who fall through with the plans THEY made

This just doesn't make sense.

I've lived there all year...

Why are you so happy to learn Organic Chemistry right now?

They don't deserve to hear the answer.

I've got sh*t to do and people to see.

Okay Hannah, now I know too much about your relationship issues.

The early bird catches the worm! These people don't.

Listen, if I say we can share, we can share. But I'm broke as heck so I don't have to if I don't want to... get your own.

13. People who talk way too loud on the phone

Can you not hear yourself?

14. Obnoxious laughers

It's not actually that funny, is it?

15. The person who can't stop talking about their ~crazy~ weekend and it's Thursday

Wow, Brad, you shotgunned 4 PBRs, iced yourself, and made it on @imshmacked? Only one of those things is cool, guess which one.

16. The person at Starbucks that orders 500 things and there's a line behind them

Why.

17. The person who drops their Hydro Flask in the middle of class

RIP to that newly dented Hydro Flask.

18. Groups that take up the entire sidewalk

The sidewalk is only so wide!

19. People that stand on the magic carpets at the airports

Finals are hard, the last thing I want to deal with is these people when I fly home for break.

20. People who use your/you're incorrectly (or don't use correct grammar in general)

Sssuuuccchhh a turn off.

21. People who spend more time on their phones more than communicating with the people they're with

There is a time and place for everything...

22. The guy/girl that can't stop talking about what frat/sorority they're in

Chad, we get it, you're in FIJI. Jessica, we know you're a Chi O!!

23. People who hold unnecessary grudges

You don't have to be friends with everyone, get over it.

24. The person who asks too many questions in class

Just look at the class page!

25. The person in the group email that hits "reply all" when they respond

I thought they explained this in elementary school?

26. People who don't clean up after themselves

You would think people just know...

27. People who post too much on social media

WE GET IT JUSTIN YOU STUDIED ABROAD. And Taylor how many times can you post about Sig Ep's darty? We weren't counting.

28. When someone asks you about your day/weekend just so they can brag about theirs

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.
