Sound familiar? We all have our #collegietteproblems that we need to vent about, but sometimes those on the other end get sick of hearing us complain about that girl in the salad line who is still debating chicken vs. tofu when she’s first in line of 50 or that guy in our Chem class who asks questions when class is over. Hello — I have places to be!
Luckily, you can give your loved ones a break and now complain to Her Campus. Let us know what’s irking you every week by dropping us an anonymous whine — just submit via the form at the end of the article or tweet them in to @HerCampus using the hashtag #collegietteproblems. Trust us, you’ll feel better.
There’s a chorus of coughs in this classroom! Everyone’s sick. Gross.

Why phone company? JUST WHY? Why did you have to give me a choice between two lemon-colored smartphones just so I could skip the data plan and stick with talk and text? Seriously, not everyone has 100 bucks a month for your “data plan”… especially when my school has internet EVERYWHERE!!! Now, a year later, I’m stuck with an awful temporary loaner phone playing “keep sending the piece of crap to the manufacturer until they do something” over and over again. The worst part??? If I had waited a year with my old but perfectly good flip phone, I could have gotten an Android that WASN’T A LEMON!

Hey roomie: The next time you comment on the amount of sugar is in my lame peanut butter and jelly dinner, I am going to remind you of the enormous brownie you just devoured. You’re my roommate, not my personal nutritionist.

Reading some of these whiny things has led me to whine about this: how about instead of whining about your annoying roommate, uh, maybe, talk to her? Seriously. It’s not that hard. Don’t go the whole year feeling like your life is terrible because you don’t have the guts to lay down the line and stop rude or inconsiderate behavior in its tracks.

My roommate is the messiest person ever and I ALWAYS clean up after her, but the ONE TIME I let a dish sit for 30 minutes because I had to run an errand, she says I left a disaster in the kitchen. Like, are you kidding me?

Hello, third floor of my res hall. Second floor down here. We can hear you doing sprints and jumping jacks, and maybe even have sex up there. The building is old. We can hear you. So shut the fuck up when it’s past 11 AM.

There is construction outside my window from 7AM to 4PM everyday outside my window. Not only is it unbearable to be in my room, but when I go to the library to get away from it, I hear the construction the school is doing outside the library. I get that the school wants to build state of the art facilities, but doesn’t the school also want me to do well, sleep in once in awhile? Guess not.

To the girl sitting next to me in the library right now: Take a shower!! You reek and I swear I see dirt on you.
