Everyday Things That Suck

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that are the most annoying.

Everyday Things That Suck
Keep Calm O-Matic

With a week filled with countless exams, meticulous readings, and hours devoted to extracurricular activities, my brain was dormant in thoughts of negativity, only allowing me to think about the negative nuances of everyday life that just really suck. Here is a brief list of trivial things average humans go through that should just go away and never come back.

1. Sharing a Table With Strangers at a Restaurant

There is nothing more annoying than rubbing shoulders with a stranger while you are going to town on shrimp fried rice at your favorite hibachi restaurant. Please, do not try to make small talk with me. I would rather pretend I'm choking, have someone call an EMT, and drive 45 minutes in an ambulance to my community hospital than to talk to you about where I go to college and what I want to do with my life. Also, to the chefs at hibachi restaurants, please stop flinging grilled zucchini at my face and have me try to catch it in my mouth like a trained seal. Just flip your knives around and do some cool tricks while I drink kamakazes and try to get through the grueling conversation with the stranger to my right.

2. Facing the Mirror in a Gym Class

For the love of God, what is more torturing than glaring at your sweaty, out of shape body trying to keep up with Kelly the Zumba constructor. I'm only here because of my excessive eating and drinking and I don't want to die at the age of 50. Why is there a huge mirror reminding me just how much I've let myself go?


3. Taking Off Makeup Before Bed

I have a true love-hate relationship with removing what feels like 3-inch thick foundation from my imperfect skin every night. Wearing makeup is already a vicious cycle of covering a blemish, forgetting to remove said makeup, and waking up with an even bigger blemish as a real "F you!" to your self esteem. Can't I just have flawless skin and go makeup free for the rest of my life?

4. Waiting 15 Minutes for a Drink at the Bar

All I want is a vodka soda and, instead, I get 15 minutes of leaning on a sticky bar while at least 6 people have bumped into me as if I'm wearing the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter.


5. People that eat horribly and have a nice body

Why are you a human garbage disposal but have the abs of an Olympic gymnast? Oh, you don't work out either? Great. Perfect. Moving on.

6.When You Can't Find the TV Remote

Yes, Netflix, I am still watching 30 Rock, how rude of you to pause the show after my 8 hour binge-watching fest. And even better, THE REMOTE IS GONE. Now I have to remove every couch cushion and dive into the depths of my 15 year-old couch. Ooo look, the earring I lost in 6th grade. Memories.

That's all I can think of for now. What are some of the things about everyday life that annoy you?

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.
