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.
I just recently went to the NC State Fair where I ran into a Democratic party booth and picked up an Obama/Biden sticker. Fairgoers were proudly walking around with their Romney/Ryan or Obama/Biden stickers displayed on their clothing; and I was one of those people. I got looks of approval and people wondering where I got the sticker so they could get one too, but I also got a few looks of disgust from the Romney/Ryan supports too — which is expected. But as I was walking along with my little brother, a college-aged couple decked out in Romney/Ryan stickers, turned around in front of me, blocking my path, and began verbally assaulting me. “Why are you voting for Obama? What evidence can you tell me right now for why he would be the best pick? Are you insane? This country will go to hell under him. Tell me why you are voting for him,” they said, leaning in towards me, inches from my face — hopefully drunk on something for the ignorant and rude way they were behaving. “Because he is my choice. I simply don’t agree with Romney’s platform that he clearly stated during the debate,” I said. The couple snarled at me, saying that I was stupid continued to shove Romney statistics down my throat, even as I tried to turn and walk away. Can’t we all just agree to disagree? I literally felt like I was being victimized, assaulted, cornered and belittled. That is NO way to go about changing people’s minds, opinions, or votes. It simply makes you look like an ignorant jerk.

Why would you ever think it was okay to bring a subwoofer into a dorm? The second you turned it on you immediately became THOSE people.

My roommate constantly eats in the room…with her mouth open. If I have to listen to the noises for much longer, I promise I will go insane.

I was watching the debate in my common room and someone asked me a question about a class we’re in together. I said ‘after the debate’ and the annoying girl just said ‘just tell me while Romney is speaking, who cares?’ Who cares? Me. I am not a Democrat like everyone else here. I am a Republican and I want to hear what Romney has to say thank you very much. I actually care about being informed. So stop talking and let me listen to the guy who will hopefully be our next President.

To my roommates:
You guys are so freaking dramatic.
Roommate #1: Yeah you got in a fight with your boyfriend’s family… 3 weeks ago. Let it go. I can’t take the “we’re ok… we’re gonna break up… we’re ok… no we’re not” game anymore. You love him or you don’t, make up your mind. And the fight is nothing to keep going on about for 3 weeks.
Roommate #2: You decided to be in a long distance relationship two years ago. So stop taking it out on everyone when my boyfriend is over. Seriously, I can’t enjoy spending time with him or tell fun stories without feeling bad, because you start slamming things and completely ignore me. Long distance was your choice; if you wanted to screw around with guys in college, you shouldn’t have screwed around with him and agreed to the relationship. You guys need to stop the crap, because it’s affecting my life and my relationship. I’ve had enough, grow up.

My roommate gargles so loudly at approximately 6am every morning. It literally sounds like she is hacking up a hairball. Every day. Can she please first of all: not do this, and second of all: if she must do this, not do this at the ungodly hour of 6am??

Facebook is not Twitter. To all my Facebook friends who live ‘status updated’ during the debate: Shut the f*ck up.
