I Know It's Not Christmas But I'm Still The Grinch

If you're a really nice person and you're reading this, no offense to you, but you scare me.

Humanity cannot seem to impress me, and I think it’s just abnormal. I’m not talking about events going on in the world today, like our dreaded president or his annoying family (Because those are incredibly disappointing on their own).

The world is filled with people who are so nice, overly content, diabetes. It sucks because I’m not diabetes, I’m like the Grinch. Being the Grinch can suck because it’s the littlest things these people do that annoy you. Some people are so uplifting, it's weird.

I swear people aren't really like that.

The overly positive are just annoying, here I am in my muddy hole, I don't need your positivity while I'm sinking. Try again later when I need air.

There's a girl at school who's so nice to everyone and is always smiling, everyone knows her as "the nicest girl ever" and I can't help but think it's fake.

But it's not her fault that she's nice, it's me. I can't bypass it and I find it annoying. I'm pretty sure I get it from my mother, she's not the nicest- but at least she's pretty. The both of us feel like people who are too nice always have something to hide.

I guess that's just our way of being street smart.

Even movies teach you that really nice people are those you should look out for, for example:

"Misery"

"Zootopia"

"Pride and Prejudice"

"The Visit"

"Mean Girls"

"Cyber Bully"

Another scenario, this girl had her cell phone out in class and there was a strict “no cell phone” rule. So, I didn’t have mine out.

I’m not jealous because the lecture was great

An incident happened during the class where the teacher had to ask an unknown dude to leave the classroom (That story is for another time) and the next thing I notice, she’s texting her group chat of friends what happened, and it was a whole paragraph.

It started like this:

“So, there was an intruder…”

Why couldn’t she just wait until after class? Impatient, your friends can wait. I know I can just easily avert my eyes but now, I’m annoyed and distracted.

Great.

Then the professor asks about a specific question that he couldn’t recall the answer to and neither could the other students.

And she looked it up, raised her hand and said the answer. She was given an unfair advantage with that phone, I couldn’t even look it up. She looked so happy too, like diabetes.

She even smiled at me, as if I didn't just see her look up the answer.

So smug. Ew.

Instances like these make me think really nice people are just fake, like they have a hidden agenda of some sort.

If you're a really nice person and you're reading this, no offense to you, but you scare me.

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.
