A Little R & R
Rant and Rave! Pick something, anything, that really "grinds your gears" and get it off your chest right here, right now. Rant away! Be appropriate and don't use specific names, but express a frustration or pet peeve or any "steam" you need to let loose of.
Getting unwanted attention is a thing that really rattles me and grinds my gears. For example, being on homecoming court rattled me because I did not want to be on court. Its attention that I don't want or need. Having everyone congratulating you and telling you they are going to vote for you grinds my gears because I don’t want that attention and don’t want to be king. Being called up in front of the whole school is another example, I hate that because I don't enjoy being in front of a lot of people, and I hate the attention.
ReplyDeleteWhen a decision is made and someone tries to change/ruin it at last second. The situation is when four seniors and i created the list to go to the elementary to speak to the young kids. It's supposed to be a special thing to get to go over and talk to them and there were 5 seniors selected, then another senior who wasn't chosen started to complain about it and ruined it all. If you weren't selected, it means you didn't make the cut and didn't earn the rightful spot. Being called up to be a captain is a tradition, if you didn't make the cut, it's not your right to complain about it.
ReplyDeleteI am sick an tired of colleges sending me letters to go study at their college just to get money from me. Any college will send you their information even if you are not interested in the college. I really want to find out how they got my information because when I get letters in the mail from them I just throw them away: I am not interested in them. For example, today at school I got a recruiting letter for track from a college in Wisconsin that I haven't even heard of or applied for. Something thats even more annoying, is when you don't respond to them, they will just keep sending them to you until you do respond.
ReplyDeleteGun laws, there's no reason why people should be able to obtain assault rifles. The amount of mass shootings is only getting higher and higher. I often wonder why we haven't done anything about it, all we ever hear is "my prayers and condolences go out to the families affected" action must be taken or it will only get worse and worse.
ReplyDeleteUnpopular opinion here, I hate country music. I don't hate every country song but some songs are pretty boring. Every country song talks about the same thing. Its either about girls, making out, or driving a truck. I'm sorry if you praise country music or something but how do you handle liking it. I'm not saying that if you like country music you're a bad person.
ReplyDeleteI do not know if I am too smart or if some people in my classes are just too stupid. I get really mad when people are stupid but they do not realize it so they do not ask for help. One thing that is even worse is a person knowing that they are stupid and then making fun of it, like stop it. You can be fun and smart. Worst of all is that our society let boys be stupid because they are boys but if a girl is stupid then she is unattractive and well…stupid. I think it ugly to be stupid weather you are a boy or a girl. Just get your stuff together. I do not want you to know the world history, everything I want from you is to understand that you can transfer money from one credit card to another.
ReplyDeleteI need to rant about when I don't get to play in baseball. I hate sitting on the bench and not knowing what to do or when I get down on myself for getting out. I hate playing bad because it is the worse feeling in the world and I need to work on being more composed.

ReplyDeleteI'm annoyed with the loudmouth that sits next to me. She thinks she knows EVERYTHING but she is very blonde. She talks all the time, even when she shouldn't. It's almost like she doesn't have filter. Then there is the other part of my life that's filled with annoyance. Color Guard. Some people need to figure it out. nobody cleans up after themselves and they leave all the work to me and the 2 others that help. Then there is the part that they don't feel the need to practice while we are at PRACTICE. they are on their phone and having totally irrelevant conversations and not doing what they should be doing. When I tell them to do what they are supposed to they look at me like I'm dumb. Also who does something if they don't want to do it? they complain about performing. You don't join basketball and complain when there's a game. And how hard is it to put on a smile and fake it through practice. NOT hard. Boyfriend drama has no place in practice. I wanted to stay in color guard so I don't let down my team, but they constantly let each other down so I am left, once again, considering quitting.
ReplyDeleteI am REALLY annoyed that people think they can pop back into your life and pretend everything is okay but its really not. This didn't happen to me but to someone close to me. It hurts seeing them that upset. Like if you are not going to be in their life then DO NOT come into it when they are fine without you. You should be there the whole time and not do stupid stuff to have them go away. But it is their loss because that person is amazing and deserves the world and it is NOT their fault that YOU couldn't grow up and act like a real father to them so who are you to even do that? Then ask him to LIVE with you! It is so ignorant and self-centered. I will not sit back and watch stuff that happened to me happen to them, they do not deserve that kind of hurt. If you wont be their for them then I will. I know their worth and I know that its more than you make it out to be. I feel really bad that you cant see how great they are. You really did miss out on an amazing, hard-working, caring person and I am sorry that he will be twice the man that you ever were because i can tell you one thing for sure, he doesn't back down like you did he didn't take the easy path and live a life of regret. I have a dad just like you and I am glad i took the higher road and learned sometimes life is better without people no matter how hard it may seem at first because its better that way. I am sorry you wont experience what its like to celebrate their victories with them or even hardships because i know they return it back. Lastly im sorry to them for having to go through this and i hope they know i am there for them through anything.
ReplyDeleteThere are some people that are in my school that follow my friend and I around that are always in our business. The more that this individual that just shows up in the conversations and that just knows where we are when they are not even in our site. There is many things I can rant about and many people like how they judge you on your looks, your ability to play sports, and talking about someone behind their back is one of the biggest pet peeve. Just because you don't have the last name that is popular at our school you won't be a starter for a varsity team or you start to feel like the coaches don't care about you because your not good enough or they don't believe in you and your ability. When your in practice and your giving them your 110% and they don't see that and they just yell at you if your in the wrong position or area. I feel like some coaches have a more bond with only certain players and they make others feel not involved and then when they try to be involved they start to make fun of you. During games they tell you everything is fine when your taking everything that they do that make you angry and take it out on someone else just because some people are working there hardest and when they make a mistake they say that was my fault but in reality they are just laughing about it when someone else is trying there hardest and is fighting to win the game and only half of the team is actually trying or playing smart. Some of us are coach able and the others are mad at the coach because they yell at you for everything and not anybody else.Its like sorry that I am working hard as I can and trying to play so many positions when I am playing its hard to play three spots when your trying to take charge of the area that your supposed to be covering. There are some people that only think about hitting and don't want to pass the ball or yell at me because in reality it was there ball not mine when I am supposed to be covering on the other side of the court. Making mistakes I understand but this has been happening for over 3 years now. When I am a senior and I am working hard and trying to be the best to my ability. I am a senior and a freshman is a captain that doesn't make since I have been working hard for the past 8 seasons like I am truly trying and I was a captain last year and I feel like I still should be because a freshman that just comes in and takes my captain spot and are like best friends with the coach that is pathetic. Not trying to get everyone mad at me but seriously just think!!! Meta
ReplyDeletePeople that go to college just to go to college. It makes absolutely no sense. Why put yourself into thousands and thousands of dollar in debt...for no reason at all. Why get a degree in something that you are not interested or passionate about...just to wave it around and say you went to college? You should figure out what your doing before you go to college...or while your taking your gen-eds.

ReplyDeleteOne thing that really bothers me is the stigma surrounding mental health in society. Our brains are the most important organs in our body, yet we don't pay hardly any attention to our mental health. In kindergarten, we had a dentist come in and express the importance of dental hygiene. Yet, we seem to ignore the part of our body that makes us who we are. Being diagnosed with depression and anxiety I know the debilitating effects it plays on you. Your brain controls you, and when something is wrong there, your whole body system, and life as a whole is controlled by any mental health issues. Just like a coach would sit out a player with a broken ankle, society needs to rid the stigma surrounding mental health and treat it like any other problem. It is unfair for the student with ADHD to be forced to do 500 math problems, and the student with anxiety needs to be reassured for the positive things they do, because their own brains may prevent them from ever feeling successful. Problems with mental health are becoming more and more apparent as many students and young adults feel a lot of pressure through the course of life. If nothing is done, the very fabric that makes us human, our unique brains, is in jeopardy along with our health as a whole. Another thing people don't understand about mental health problems is that it knows no borders. I am an honor role student, have a job, and participate in many extra curricular activities, but my depression and anxiety still plays a huge role in my life. It doesn't matter if you're an athlete, a teacher, a TAG student, less than average student, a StuCo member, or musician. Everyone has a brain, and through the experiences of life our brains are molded. The society we're in, makes us believe it is wrong to have mental health issues. People are embarrassed to come forward and say they have a mental illness because of the stigma surrounding it. No one wants to come back from an appointment and be labelled anxious, depressed, socially awkward, or ridiculed for focus issues. However, when a classmate comes back with a cast on their arm everyone is sympathetic and wants to sign their name. We need to accept that mental health is a common issue, and we need to live in a world where people aren't afraid to get the help they need, and where people can accept their problems. Once the stigma is reduced, solutions will follow. If counseling and therapy were a normal concept, so many people wouldn't have to suffer and let their lives be controlled by their mental illness. We are our brains, and we need to make sure we can all stay happy and healthy.
This girl in my class, I have nothing but distaste for. She can always talk but, can never come face to face. I have grown up while u stay the same. Who is u to speak on my name about what u claim on me when you have nothing to gain. With everything you claim about me could be true but that don't equal to the things that you do. I know more than I ever want to know about you. Don't ever try and talk to me because I'll never be in the mood.
