So I put together a lil list with some help from some friends of "I hate it when.." so before each line just add that phrase in front of everything to read it properly.
People eat with their mouth open.
Sleep in Church.
Someone cuts you off then proceeds to turn.
A cop Tails you for like 10 miles.
People are late.
M&M's melt in your hand and not your mouth.
Toilet paper is empty.
Dirty Dishes are left in the sink.
Someone "forgets" to flush the toilet!
Someone has to "one-up" everything.
People talk in movies.
You walk into a public restroom and the floor is wet.
Others mimic you.
Your flight gets delayed.
You sit next right the screaming baby on the plane.
You call to get customer service and listen to an automated voice.
Your asked to do a phone survey.
Your watching TV and the emergency alert system test comes on.
Im Late.
At the beach sand stays in your pants 24/7.
Others leave the blinker on.
You make pancakes and come to find out there is no syrup.
You wake up to go to chick-fil-a and its Sunday.
My calls get dropped.
There is long lines for work-out lines.

Hallo-What?
So, as you can see from my last post, when i got into University of Florida my life got a little busy. But I figured it's time for another blog post this one being about Halloween and why its around... I mean what does trick or treat even mean? About 2000 years ago these kids called the Celts (not to be confused with the NBA Team Celtics who are in Boston) lived in what is today Ireland, UK, and North France celebrated their new year on November 1. I guess the 1st of January was overrated for these cool-cats. To them November 1st signified the end of the summer and harvest, a time that was associated with dark winters and death. What a perfect time to celebrate! For whatever reason they believed that on the night of the 31st of October the worlds of the living and the dead's boundary became obsolete. Perfect so lets celebrate on that night too and call it Samhain. So these dead spirits that came back would come back and destroy the harvest. What? I thought we are celebrating the end of the harvest tomorrow? And they came back to destroy the leftover harvest? Some dead spirits... psh! So in the midst of casper and his friends running around destroying the already shucked corn, these other kids called the Druids combined with the Celts saw this as a time where priest would make prophecies. So they decide to commemorate this too well at least the one's who got the good news prophecies, i guess, and so they would build bonfires and run around with animal skins and read each other fortune. Very similar what we do today on halloween.
Then Roman Emperor Claudius saw that he was missing out on the fun so he decided to invade Britain and over the next hundreds of years the Roman traditions combined with Celts. The Roman tradition during the time of Samhain was to celebrate their goddess of fruit and trees, hints is why we today "bob" for apples... and spread diseases. Then the Celts around the 9th century all became Christians! Just when things started looking up for them, they saw that they needed to kinda replace the freaky holiday called Samhain, with a brighter celebration called "All Souls Day". Just so we dont piss anyone off! All-Souls Day was celebrated on November 2 and was similarly celebrated with costumes and bonfires, but no marshmallows. All-Souls Day was also called All-Hallows which came from some word that stemmed from something that happened long ago blah blah blah. The night before was called All-Hallows Eve which eventually became Halloween! Now we are getting some where.
So what is treat or treat? Going door to door asking for candy, well thats today's description. Long ago it gets a little depressing. So Halloween came to America some how we got wind of the crazy day and whatever... read about it if you want the details. All you need to know is that it came to America. But why Trick or Treat... here is the real side of the story. On All-Souls Day poor citizens would go door to door and beg for food and in return would get these pastries called Soul cakes. The poor would then pray for the families dead relatives. Try that the next time you go trick or treating, kinda makes sense right? So why the costumes? Well remember eariler when Casper was running around destroying crops well he did that Halloween night so people would dress in costumes so that Casper and his unkindly clan would mistake them for is own kind! Cheerful huh? Then people started getting really spooked and instead of opening doors for people dressed as ghost fearful of opening the door for ghost, people would place loads of food in front of their door so the ghost would not enter. I would love to around at that time. Anyways thats why we have Halloween now go forth and beg! Happy Halloween!

Accepted
Think of your ultimate goal thats feasible at this point in your life. Maybe its a new car, landing that job, or maybe its that new girlfriend. Whatever it is imagine reaching that goal after all your hard work. I had the privilege of reaching my goal and it was epic to say the least. My Dad is from Orlando and my Mom is from Miami, unfortunately when they hitched they decided neither place was sufficient for where they wanted to raise their family so they packed their bags and moved to beautiful and sunny Huntsville, Alabama. Which was where I was born but dont let that miss lead you, I was born a Gator.
My whole life I was tormented with two college rivals and country music. Now I might lose some friends over my next statement, but thats okay cause that would make you shallow and we dont need to be friends anyways. I hate country music. So living in Alabama which is commonly associated with country music and pickup trucks was tough (I did like the trucks though). So after 19 years of Alabama I packed my bags and moved to the state that my parents should have stayed in. I did this in order to attend the college of my dreams The University of Florida. I had to establish residency first and that requires some legal documentation and living in Florida for a year. So I finished up my AA degree at a sister college and aimed high at UF. I sent in my application and I was DENIED! All my dreams crushed I didnt know what plan B was so I considered moving home, but something told me to stay and try again maybe it was that I was that 12 month lease I was held to and cant leave with 6 months to go, but that's beside the point. I applied again while taking the semester off just to work and make a list of things I have always wanted to do.
It wasn't until a couple nights when I checked the website to see what the up date was on my application. Usually it reads something like "Your application has been received and sent to the college for a final decision... blah blah blah" and it goes on for another paragraph or two. But this time it was different... this time it was only two sentences, which read "Congratulations, your application to The University Of Florida for Summer A/C has been accepted. Welcome to the Gator Nation." Now let me explain whats going on in this crazy head of mine. "Congratulations"?? Congrats on what? then I proceeded to read it like this "application...Florida...accepted. At this point its almost 1:00 A.M. in the morning, im located in Huntsville, Al home for the weekend, one of my good friends is sleeping over, already half asleep, and my parents are sound asleep. Also this is the point where I start hyperventilating my friend awakes from his slumber and looks at me with a very confused face. So im guessing at first it looks like I was about to pass out or die, then... you would have thought I won the lottery as soon as I read and comprehending the last sentence, "Welcome to the Gator Nation." While screaming my head off I attempt to run out of the room, while tripping on a cord, running down the stairs to my parents room to tell them the good news. Needless to say I scared them, i yelled the good news and there response to the biggest dream of my life was... "what? oh really? thats great. Well talk in the morning." In that moment all my excitement was shot down, like a kid running down stairs on Christmas morning to find Santa skipped their house, my excitement was crushed. So I lingered back up the stairs read the note again and forced myself to sleep. Shouldn't have checked it at 1:00 A.M. or in Huntsville, but needless to say my goal was reached and its official im a Gator.

A Guaranteed Laugh
So i stumbled across this list online check it out its kinda funny!
1. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
4. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
5. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
6. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
7. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.
8. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
9. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
10. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
11. Was learning cursive really necessary?
12. Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
13. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
14. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
15. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
16. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)...ummm...Goonies"
17. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
18. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
19. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
20. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
22. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
23. Bad decisions make good stories
24. Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
25. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
26. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
27. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
28. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after BluRay? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to fall after leaning your chair back a little too far.
30. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
31. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
32. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Crap!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
33. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
34. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
35. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
36. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
37. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
38. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet that everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
39. I wonder if cops ever get angry at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
