5 Pet Peeves That Will Send You Over The Edge

Everyone has different things that annoy them, yet there are certain, small actions which annoy me the most. Here are my top five pet peeves:

People who constantly have a negative attitude

I cannot stand when I encounter a person who has a negative attitude towards everything. I understand that everyone has a bad day and even a bad week, but I really dislike it when I am talking to someone and all they do is bring the mood down with negativity. There is always some good in each day, so just take the time to see the blessings in your life instead of always focusing on things which make you sad and upset.

People who ask you a question but don’t listen to your answer

There is nothing worse than feeling like your opinion does not matter. This happens to me the most when in a group and someone will ask a question, then continues to answer their own question instead of listening to the other people’s answers.

People being on their phones while we are talking

This is a big pet peeve for me. If we are having a conversation, please look up from your phone. I promise, whatever is on your phone will be there after the two minutes it takes to finish speaking to me. It is very rude to be scrolling through Instagram while someone else is trying to tell you a story. When you are with friends and family, set your phone down for a while and just live in the moment. I swear, your unopened snapchats and unread texts can wait, they are not as important as the people standing in front of you.

People asking how you are as they pass by

Although this seems like a nice and polite thing to do when you see a friend or acquaintance, it personally annoys me. I am not a fan of small talk in general, but this especially upsets me. I know that you do not care how I am doing as I walk to class because if you really wanted to know we would grab lunch together or at least have a conversation over text!

People who chew their food and gum loudly

This is a popular pet peeve for many people. Just be mindful of how loud you are chewing, especially if you are in class. Please do not chew and pop your gum so loud, seriously people are trying to concentrate.

Although I have a couple more, these are my personal top five pet peeves!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
