1. People who ask ridiculous questions. When the professor says, "After I get through this material you may go," and that idiot in the front row asks questions about NOTHING, thus prolonging class, it angers me. Hate.
2. Public bathrooms. I don't care if they are referred to as "bathroom closets," everyone can hear your business. People don't put the seat down. Ugh. Double Hate.
3. Textbooks. I hate getting to class and one of two things happens.
Option A. "Hey I know you spent $120 on this book but we won't use it. Oh, and the bookstore won't buy it back from you because we switched series."
Option B. "Hey I know you spent $120 on this book but I want you guys to go out on and buy this other book for $50."
4. The people upstairs. I'm sorry, do you have dance parties in stilettos while screaming at the top of your lungs at 4 am?
5. My bed. It doesn't matter how many mattress pads and blankets I put on this concrete slab of a mattress, it's still feels like I'm laying on a rock.
6. Being broke. I guess that's just apart of the quaint charm of being a college student in a big city, but why must I buy everything in nickels and dimes? This is embarrassing! What is it that I buy that makes me this broke?
7. The cold. I swear, I've endured 20 winters in my life and this is just ridiculous. I leave this building and have to dress as if I am exploring the Arctic. I really don't understand how I went through that "I'm too cool to wear a winter coat" phase circa 2004-2006. I'm tired of going outside and feeling like my bones are going to crack.
8. The rain. It actually has yet to rain, but I'm just waiting for that awful moment when the sky decides to open up and cry. I can handle rain, I can handle cold, but rain plus cold is a terrible mix. Having wet shoes in buildings that don't believe in cranking up the heat is unbelievably uncomfortable. It doesn't help that my mom believes in cheap umbrellas that come through the mail with weird things on their, i.e. dreamcatchers or American flags missing stars (note: cheap umbrellas DO NOT hold up against the wind, so don't embarrass yourself, just don't bother.)
9. The dining hall. It's one thing to serve dirt and call it food, it's one thing to play MTVu which only plays the same five rap videos (which all interestingly seem to feature Usher), and it's another thing that there is usually a huge line or if you go on a downtime they only offer turkey burgers, a browning salad bar, and cereal. What annoys me the most about the dining hall is that it closes so early. I have classes that cut through the latter end of the afternoon straight until 9 pm, and wait...I can't utilize my meal plan that cost me an arm and leg because they're closed! Hate, hate hate.
10. Homework. I guess every normal student dislikes homework, but I think having hours of crap to do within the first two days is just ridiculous.
