Top 10 College Pet Peeves

College is overall an amazing experience for anyone to have, but there are just a few things that really get under students' skin.

College is often portrayed as an adolescent's paradise in modern television and film, but is that so true to reality? Here are the top 10 things that will annoy any college student.

1. The dreaded "Slow-Walkers"

We all encountered these people in the crowded hallways of our high schools, but now, just as soon as we thought that we were free from those who block the entire walkway with their sloth-like movement, they strike again. Only, this time, we're late to class and getting points docked. This time, it's personal.

2. Roommate or Suitemate Drama

Ah, yes. The people you will be living with for the next 9 months of your life who you don't know and may or may not have anything in common with. Yeah...no chance of drama there...

3. Sharing a Laundry Room

The task of doing laundry itself isn't the problem here. The problem is that there are people who will take your clothes out of the washer or dryer when they are clearly not done and replace them with their own clothes. Those people suck.

4. Sharing a Bathroom

Do you want to take a nice, long shower without interruption? Do you want to be able to use the restroom whenever you want without someone trying to open the door? Do you want to be able to bathe without someone coming in and using the toilet literally three feet from you? If you answered yes to any of these, you will not like college bathrooms.

5. Sharing in General

Eh. I'm spoiled.

6. Professors that try to keep you in class longer than your allotted time

Please stop. We've suffered enough.

7. High School Drama continuing into College

Seriously, guys? We've graduated. Get over your grudge for that girl who, "looked at you the wrong way that one time in the student section."

8. When literally anything breaks

Expensive or cheap, anything that breaks becomes a catastrophic moment as it will likely be replaced with the swipe of your credit card, and we all know how important every penny is to a college student.

9. People who are always looking for the party

College kids have been stereotyped to party hard all day every day, but that is an entirely inaccurate assumption...for most people. So to those of you who drink like it's your job, relax, grab your sweatpants, and come watch a movie with the rest of us in the common room. We have snacks.

10. Human Megaphones

Yes, being rowdy can be a lot of fun, but please...not at 4 am. I have a class in the morning. Have mercy on my sleep schedule.

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.
