It’s always great to have nice people around. We enjoy them, maybe live off their kindness and don’t mind if they tag along to hang out.

But there are times when being “nice” backfires and comes across as annoying, fake or pushy. Here are some “nice” things people do, that are actually pretty annoying.

1. Holding the door/elevator open for you when you’re not close by…

And so you have to do that fast walk/jog thing so you won’t feel bad for making them stand there. Why would you keep the door open when someone is about 10 feet away?

Close the door and keep going, we can figure out how to open it by ourselves!

2. Giving directions to someone really loudly.

Okay, I get it. You want to help the poor lost fellow out. But, why talk so loud though? Are you trying to make your voice clearer or something? Just talk normally, please.

3. Saying “Hi” and starting a conversation…

When all you want to do is walk around in quiet contemplation. I know it’s nice to say hi to friends, but honestly, keep it at a "hi" and allow me to get on with life!

4. Sending out Happy New Year/month messages.

These get on my nerves so much. Why are you wishing me a happy New Year? It’s going to happy whether you wish it or not! Also, I am aware that the message has been crafted and sent to maybe everyone on their contacts so it’s just meaningless!

5. Trying to let you go in a doorway before them…

When it would be easier if they just went first! Just walk in and stop trying to be chivalrous/nice, it’s disgusting.

6. That fake “hello” smile they give…

So, you’re now forced to smile back or seem mean. I don’t know you, why are you smiling at me? That smile is fake, and I want no part in dealing out equally fake smiles.

7. Posting snaps/pics of you on your birthday…

When you’re not really friends. Stop. Just stop. I would prefer a nice private happy birthday. No need to blow up your IG or snapchat with my spics when we barely even speak!

And those are some nice but annoying things people. If you have any others, feel free to comment them!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
