We can complain and many people will point out that we are being ridiculous. But other times we just wish people would understand that we live in our own little world and when things piss us off they really piss us off. All we want is someone to sit and listen to us go on and on about our small problems. Yes, we are aware the world isn't ending but it might be to us. With this emotional and heartfelt feeling, I took this opportunity to write the 17 Times It's Okay For Students To Be Pissed Off in college. We can be mad about whatever we want and that's final.
1) Forget Your Student Card
This is great cause for upset. You may need it while shopping for your student discount, need it to get in the library or pay for a sandwich. We can be extremely annoyed and it's okay.
2) Not Getting Guestlist
You wanted it. You commented for it. You arrive and you aren't on it. You have full right to be very angry. Just maybe keep it to yourself, your friends and scream about it tomorrow.
3) No Chicken Fillet Left
You get to Spar, Centra or whatever local sandwich making shop you currently reside in. You get there all pumped and there is only one thing on your mind. CHICKEN FILLET ROLL. You get to the counter and there is only one thing that can wipe that big smiley grin off your face. "There is no chicken fillet left". You storm out and cry. Yes, cry. And, this is okay. Let those tears flow.
4) Being Over Or Under The Word Count
It took you long enough to sit down and do the bloody assignment so the last thing you need is to realize it's not right. Since there is nothing more frustrating than having too little or too many words this is a time of panic. And, yes, you have full right to scream and shout the house down. Your laptop has failed you.
5) Getting Out Of Bed
Everyone has to do it, they said. It's not hard, they said. Well, it is and we hate it. Yes, it is okay to be annoyed that you have to wake up. Whether it is 7am or 2pm, it doesn't matter. We're upset and we are going to let you all know that.
6) Having To Miss A Night Out
We know you have an exam the next moring and/or are broke. But, we want to go out and we will sit here and huff and puff until the cows come home. It's making us angry and our fear of missing out has taken over our whole being right now.
7) Running Out Of Battery
This may seem stupid to you but I was just whatsapping a friend about some serious situations and now it is ruined. Yes, it is not necessary that I know exactly how Michael and Michelle (let's call them) broke up but I want to know. And, now I can't.
8) Forgetting Your Runners
You have gone all the way to the gym with your bag full of gym clothes. Whether it is on college campus or in the city centre, when you forget your runners an extreme and intensified feeling will overcome you. A feeling of pure victimisation. Why has this happened to me? And, on today of all days?
9) When The Vending Machine Eats Your Money
You are on college grounds so when you really want to kick the sh*t out of the vending machine you have to stand there, smile and say "oh well." When in fact you want to break the stupid thing.
10) Registration
Why do they make it so hard to register? Why is it at 7am? Can't they just make it easy on everyone? Quite clearly their goal is to piss people off and they succeed beyond expectations. When your parents or friends who clearly don't understand tell you "It's not the end of the world. Don't cry it'll be grand." You now have my permission to hit them in the throat. Okay, maybe not, but you can certainly give them a filthy, threaten them and never speak to them again. You have this right.
11) No Parking
When there is no parking, may it be during the week or on the weekends, don't listen to the others. You can be as upset as you wish. Cry your heart out because this is a shit situation.
12) Lunch Deprivation
You have been dreaming of what you want for lunch all morning long. This is it. The clock has struck one. You get your wallet and run down. Oh but what's that? The sweet chilli chicken wrap you have been waiting for is gone today. You can be mad. You can be very mad and oh boy if anyone tells you to relax that is their problem.
13) Forget To Record Something
You get home from a long day in the library. It's 11.30pm, it has been a long and tough day of studying. You sit back, relax and put on Made In Chelsea. "Oh Sh*tttttttttt! I bloody forgot to record it". You can be upset. This is a true moment of sadness.
14) Pen Theft
When someone steals your pen, you have full right to flip out. Maybe don't cause a scene in front of the whole library but let it be known that you know what has just happened. Do not take this lying down. Pens are important.
15) Cold Showers
This is not a nice time and, again, you have full right to be pissed off. This is the only time free for you to bathe and you have to have the coldest of cold showers. Shed a tear if necessary. Life has defeated you.
16) Forget Your I.D.
You have gone to get drink or you are waiting in line for the club. Well, there is nothing worse and it has just happened to you. Be angry and be dramatic. Just let it all out.
17) Forget Your Credit Card
Whether you be out for a hangover feed or queueing in Penneys, there comes a time when your Visa Debit card is your best friend. And, these are times where you couldn't need your best friend any more. If you find out your friend isn't with you bad things will happen. And, you will feel the wrath of my rage. Queue the awkward talk with the cashier.
