1. Don’t sit in someone’s unassigned assigned seat

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Listen, you get about a week, maybe two weeks to choose your seat for class. Once it’s picked, that’s your seat for the whole semester. If you dare to sit in a seat other than your unassigned assigned seat, you disrupt the balance of the whole classroom. For example, if Karen sits in my unassigned assigned seat, I am now forced to sit in someone else’s, and the cycle continues. You also may be taking a seat away from someone who has vision or hearing problems. Pick a seat and stick to it.

2. If you’re walking on "the bridge" during the day, fast is the only pace

“The bridge.” Everyone knows it. The one that crosses through the meadow and leads straight to Ballantine Hall. It is a major hub of travel for the students. Students crossing here are typically trying to get to class or are leaving class. Therefore, when you walk the speed of a turtle, you disturb the flow of traffic. Someone may just push you out of the way. So, rule of thumb, don’t hold up the line of people trying to make it to class on time. Thank you.

3. If you’re walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk, you’re the one that’s supposed to move over

Speaking of walking incorrectly, I would rather get a bump on my head from running into someone before I move over for a person walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk. I'm afraid that some of you might knock me over because you don't realize which side of the sidewalk you're supposed to walk on. Just remember, it’s the "right" way to do it. If I move over, I will also be breaking the laws of society by walking on the left side. I refuse to encourage your rule-breaking behavior.

4. Not everybody wants to “party”

Stop shaming people who don't want to attend crazy parties. Everyone has different interpretations of partying. Surprise, surprise, not everyone finds joy in binge drinking. Not judging, but don’t judge the rest of us non-drinking, non-smoking people. Some people want to keep their lungs and kidneys clean.

5. It’s OK to share

Newsflash, you don’t need a table that seats four to six people all to yourself. The study areas are public, meaning they are designed to be shared. Who knows? You may just meet your next best friend or significant other. If you want a full space for just yourself, I know the perfect place: your dorm or apartment. Yes, I’m speaking to you people who take up a single cubicle for yourself and make people feel bad for kicking you out. Fair warning, the library states we have the right to kick you out, honey.

6. Clean up after yourself

I never knew girls could be so disgusting until I started living in a dorm with a community bathroom. The bathrooms look like they've been teepeed with the amount of tissue decorating the tile floors. I actually cleaned up some of the mess myself out of pure disgust. No janitor should have to deal with that. Side note, it doesn't hurt to flush the toilet every once in a while. Our dorm bathrooms actually make public restrooms seem clean as a whistle.

7. Some people actually cherish sleep

Yeah, while some of you are screaming your heads off down the hall and making loud noises as you stumble back to your dorms from a major party, the rest of us still have an 8 a.m. class the next morning. On top of that, we've been studying all week, so we can have a good time over the weekend. Therefore, we've earned the right to a peaceful night’s sleep. Thank you.

8. It’s rude to just show up for the food... period.

We all love when events on campus have free food, but gosh! Even if you’re just there for the food, the least you could do is stay and hear what some of the people involved with the event have to say. Honestly, you might learn something new. If you had enough time to stop in and grab some food, you have time to stay and hear what someone has to say.
