Just a few of the things that drive me BONKERS!

I'm a pretty busy girl, I tend to always have something to do, some place I was supposed to be like 15 minutes ago, and it never fails that something annoys me. I know that sounds harsh -- like I'm bitter and constantly looking for something to make me mad, but this is not the case. First, I need to make a statement. "God gave you a brain, USE IT!"

Pet Peeves
  1. Stupid people. I honestly feel bad for people that weren't given the ability to think for themselves, those are not the people I'm referring to. I'm talking about the people that are very intelligent and choose to do ignorant things. For example, it's currently coming a blizzard outside. I had to drive home from Glasgow in the blizzard. I was very impressed when everyone seemed to be driving very cautious, that was until the idiots came out to play. The first act of stupidity I witnessed was a donut in the road. May I add that I'm all about some fun in the snow. I've held on to the 'oh shit' handle plenty of times just for fun. But this idiot cut one in one of the busiest intersections in Glasgow. If that wasn't enough, I got behind a few cars just taking it easy and one decides we aren't going fast enough. It pulls out to pass which would normally be fine, except there is about an inch of slush and it's in a CURVE. It is trying to get around 2 other cars and of course slipping and sliding it's NOT gonna make it. Luckily the first car it passed hit it's breaks and let the idiot get in between the two, right before it is hit head on by an oncomming vehicle. Point proven? I think so.
  2. Interrupting. If you have been following my blogs up to this point you have already gotten an idea about how I feel on this topic. If not let me catch you up...There is an older lady in my PSY 310 class that thinks she knows WAY more than anyone else in that class. She finds it necessary to not only tell us absolutely every detail about her life, but she interrupts the teacher and the entire class to do so.
  3. ICON of COCKY
  4. Cocky People. I've never been one to brag, and I don't think others should either. If you've done something soooo great to get recognition for people will give it to  you without you having to point it out. I get annoyed when guys do things to point out that they have big muscles -- if they're that big we see them already, duh. Or girls that are like loooook I got my hair done, isn't it pretty? If we like it we'll be happy to tell you all about it. Most of the time I think cockiness is worse with guys and normally the cocky ones are nothing to talk about. Just fyi if you're male and reading this. Most girls think it's so much more sexy if your really good at something, but seem to think nothing about it.
  5. 
    I seriously almost threw up!
    
  6. FEET! I don't guess you can really count this as a pet peeve, but I just hate them. I honestly don't even like mine. My feet personally drive me crazy because they look just like my fathers, which isn't exactly what every little girl dreams of, and because they're always cold cold cold. Other people's feet just gross me out. They're either cold, or sweaty and clamy or hairy or they have yellow toe nails or every other nasty thing possible. I feel guilty even getting a pedicure because I don't like to make other people touch my feet. It's just not nice. So that being said, don't put your feet on me, EVER. I'm all about some flip-flop weather but if you're gonna wear them make sure that you're qualified. Meaning, no calluses, no yellow nails, no long long long nails that's terrible, and no hairy toes. I know this is not something you can help but I also don't like to see feet that the second toes it dramatically longer the the big one. I know you're born that way, but it's unforunate haha.
  7. Dirty Fingernails. It's a simple fix. Just get a file, or a tooth pick or ANYTHING and just clean them. I understand like if youre profession requires you to be dirty, but if it's only specifically dirt under your fingernails you should fix it.
  8. Constant facebook updates. I'm a huge fan of facebook, obviously. But we do not need to know every single move your make. I don't care that you just brushed your teeth, then picked out your clothes for school, then walked to catch the bus, then smiled at "him" that you love so much although you've never spoken to him. I don't care that you just almost fell down, I also don't care that you've been hacked by your bestfriend, that also hacks your facebook every other day of the week. Can I repeat...I don't care.
  9. Face Tattoos. Really they make me sad. It has to hurt to get a tear drop tatted directly out of your tear duct. Also, I'm not exactly sure why anyone would ever do that. I'm not sure if the individual doesn't actually realize that the design is going to be on their face forever. I have no idea what could possess someone to do that. I actually saw a man the other day that had a tear below his eye, and things that looked like lightening bolts on both sides of his head? Not only face tats, but naked women tats too. Trashy much? Yes.
  10. Loud cell phone talkers. When you're in public you should remember that you are infact in public. People do not want to hear your personal conversations. So wait til you're in the vehicle or talk a little softer. People don't want to be in the car behind you in the drive thru line and hear you tell the speaker  "hold on just a second"  and continue your phone conversation.
  11. People that don't control their children. You gave birth to them, so take resposibilty. It's your place to do that ya know.
  12. Hypochondriacs. It SUCKS to be sick, so please tell me why would you want to act like you are all the time. I happen to be one of those people that catch every bug that is going around. I'm the girl that all the bad stuff happens to. I get strep throat all the time, I've had mono, rocky mountain spotted fever, and other things and it sucks. So do yourself a favor and stop wishing that on yourself. People that know what it's like don't want to hear your rendition of how bad it is, when everyone knows you've never had it.
I'm done explaining all of them haha. Just a few more things on my pet peeves/hate list would be: whining, chewing with an open mouth, two-faced people, sqweaky shoes, snooky, greasy hair, tennis shoes with dress pants, clothes that are too tight, rude people, liars, homework, spiders, desperate girls or guys, weight gain, and goobers(the literal kind). Okay, I'm done for real. I'm sure I'll post this and then think of 1,000 more. So do me a favor if you have more to add to this list, please do.

If you are a super easy going person that isn't easily annoyed, welp -- kudos to you :)

This is for all you college kids; you'll understand.

So I decided I would try to take the easy/fast way out of Educational Psychology and sign up for a weekend class option this semester. I can go to class from like 5:00 to 10:00 on Friday nights, then 8:00 to 6:00 on Saturdays. I do that for 3 weekends in a row, get it over with and BAM only 4 classes that I have to worry about opposed to my normal 5 for the rest of the semester. Only 4 Finals. Only 2 days a week. I'm set right!? Well I continued to think so when my teacher emailed us like an hour before class saying that she might be a little late. When she's late on the first day you KNOW it can't be that bad. Then she makes it to class. We introduce ourselve's and it's obvious she's evaluating out every move because she follows every response we give her with "hmmmmm" then another question. He cell phone rings in the middle of class, she looks at us and says.. "oh, and technology is always welcome in my class." I'm thinking WOW -- this is great. Great in fact until when one lady's turn comes around for her to introduce herself she takes like 30 min. I tried to stay positive because this is like a 5 hour class, so 30 min of no work I could handle.... That is until it gets out of control. I started a tally. Yes, a "talking tally" is actually what I titled it on my paper. It looked a little something like this.

The numbers just kept adding up. I added a tally mark every single time she spoke out randomly, interrupted the teacher, or did her very loud annoying laugh. Her marks added up to around 50 or so...But just wait, that's not anywhere close to where this story ends. She has on some sort of tank top with a button up shirt over it. Which is perfectly fine... fine until she puts her hand up her tank, for whatever reason?, letting a roll loose from underneath. This isn't a fat comment either. I have a roll, actually I have almost 2 rolls -- HOWEVER -- I keep mine concealed underneath a shirt of somesort. The entire class lost it. People were pulling out their phones to try and get pictures, and I literally laughed until I cried. Needless to say -- out teacher suggested we take a break while the poor women acted as if she had no idea anything was happening.

Unfortunately the talking and the belly roll on the loose in the room was the most exciting thing about this class. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I've come to find that in every class there will be at least that one person that thinks they're too smart to be there, or someone that has absolutely all the time in the world to just sit there and think of possible questions to ask the professor. Either way I must suffer through to accomplish my goals and reach my dreams. I'll tough it out. 

For all of those students that have all the patience in the world, Kudos to you :)

My happy medium...

Like books, don't judge a person by their apperance - just as all of us know that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

there are all sorts of people out there. 
this is me   ---->
what do you see?
judging by my cover, lets see maybe you see that:
-i have brown hair, that is neatly done, which maybe you can conclued that i'm very organized and put together, not true.
-i have my nails are done, which may make you think that girly? which in fact again isn't entirely true,
-i'm outside. i like the outdoors? yes that one is right.
so we're 1 for 3....

But then i have the think about what all your missing about this picture and this day. I had the brilliant idea to get pictures made for mom on mothers day one year. Nikki Taylor took this. Tyler was watching because he got into some pictures with me.

Then there is this picture. What would you make out of this one? A few more things? That i'm fun, loving, outgoing, silly, not-so serious? This is a little more "spot on" but I can't go around in my everyday life jumping up and down, skipping around and sticking my tongue out at people -- because then people would just judge me as crazy.

I've said all of that to say this, you never know who or what you're dealing with. You need to take the time to realize the true person someone really is on the inside. Being a 19 year old female has proved to me through the years that TEENAGE GIRLS are the world's worst at saying "i don't like her" when in fact we've never layed eyes one that person in our lives. We'll be so certain that we wouldn't like a certain person because of who they hang out with, the things they've done in the past, how they look on the outside. In reality it normally has more to do with something like....

 "well one time i was at a ball game and this blonde girl brushed arms with me and didn't say excuse me, then i went to the concession stands and the woman that gave me my pickle smiled and said thank you, come to find out that the concession stand lady was the blonde girls aunt, and well that girl over there is some way related to them, so i'm sure they're all fake and hypocrites in that family so we're not supposed to like her either just to be safe"

 This is SERIOUSLY the way girls work most of the time. In reality the blonde girl that brushed up against you probably wasn't even her, it may have been her purse, therefore she didn't know she was supposed to say sorry. The lady at the concession stand more than likely really meant that smile and thank you that she threw your way... and the other girl you're judging because of conclusions you've jumped too could potentially be your future best friend but... TOO BAD - you missed out.

It ridiculous how judgemental we are. How in today's time we have to watch out for ourselves because it seems that everyone else is doing just that.  I've been guilty of it all. Guilty of being too judgemental, guilty of being too selfish. At some point we just have to find that happy medium. That what I'm currently looking for.  I've been the brat that probably shunned a really nice girl sometime because of a friend that she hung out with. I've also had to deal with people taking advantage of me... i went from being borderline mean, to wayy too nice.

Where am I at? :
I'm still probably too nice, but I know what it feels like to be the target of someones mean judgement. So I try my best, and that's really all that I can do. I like random acts of kindness. But I know that I have to watch my back...

Kudos to you tho, if you've found your happy medium :)

I'm new at this...

I'm Hayli, I've recently been inspired to start a blog so here I am. Lately I have done alot of living and learning. Most days I bother at least one of my friends with a venting session, so for the sake of their sanity I've decided to start letting it all out on here. So followers -- be prepared. You may be in for more than you bargained for :)
