There are many things that make people mad in this world. Something like a rude comment, an act of disrespect, or someone messing up your morning coffee order is enough to ruin your day.

For college students, all it takes is one very minor inconvenience for them to complain for the next 7 years. These things can be anything from waking up to the wind coming off the lakefront.

After going through this list you'll come to find that it doesn't take much to ruin a college student's day... or week.

1. Waking Up

Waking up and ending the beautiful experience of a good night's rest is just asking for bad things to happen.

2. Long Lines

Any line to any class, food stop, or elevator is not worth it. As a college student, I can attest that we want things to be done in the quickest and most efficient way possible.

3. Skipping Your First Cup of Coffee

Always blame your alarm for not being loud enough. Or the long lines.

4. Slush/Ice/Rain-Filled Sidewalks

Nothing beats walking around in a wet sock all day, amiright?

5. Wind

The walk to class would be bearable and not as cold if the wind would just cool its jets.

6. Elevators Not Working

A single elevator being out of service causes a ridiculous wait time and packed elevator rides. Both in which are not fun in any way, shape, or form.

7. Poor Connection

Whether it be cell service or Wi-Fi, any poor connection is awful.

8. Fire Alarm

Nothing enrages me more than when I have to wake up at 3 a.m. to evacuate the building due to some idiot burning a bag of microwave popcorn.

9. Slow Walker

Do I really need to explain this one?

10. Fees

A college campus will do anything to charge anyone any amount of money for minor things. Lost your I.D.? $15 replacement fee. Want to have your blinds fixed? $6 maintenance fee. Want to pay off some of your tuition? $200 administrative fee.

11. Smelling B.O.

For whatever reason, some random stranger forgetting to put deodorant on that morning ruins the entire lecture period for everyone.

12. Not Getting a Good Parking Spot

When you have to walk an extra block because someone took your unassigned assigned parking spot, someone will pay the consequences.

13. Loud Gum Chewing

The constant sound of gum smacking will haunt me in my nightmares.

14. Not Having Headphones

Because for whatever reason, the 10-minute walk seems 10 times longer without something to bop to.

15. Uncharged Phone or Laptop

The gif speaks for itself.

16. Small Desk Space

How do you expect me to fit my notebook, textbook, water bottle, coffee, chips, blanket, and pillow on such a small piece of wood?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
