Things that I hate

1. Cold.  I hate to be cold.  Seriously.  I bring a sweater with me almost everywhere, even in SC summer heat because apparently triple digit outside temps justify turning the thermostat to negative gagillion.

2. People who do not speed.  Just get out of my way.

3. Listening to people talk about sports, especially during the game.  My boyfriend loves basketball.  He probably loves it more than he loves me.  I've made peace with that.  I've also made peace with watching basketball.  I even kind of like it.  (The fact that Kevin Love is one of the most beautiful men on the planet helps.  Go USA!)  But I cannot stand the stupid sportscasters who will not shut up during the game.  "He shoots!  He scores!"  Yeah, thanks.  I saw him, I don't need your eye witness account, okay?  My grand daddy, brilliant man that he is, watches baseball on mute.  

4. Needles.  Those motherfuckers are scary.  I know that at 24 years old I should be able to handle getting a shot.  I know they don't hurt that much.  I know that I need them to stay healthy.  But they still scare me half to death.  

5. Heights.  Also scary.  

6.  People who say "Oh I don't read."  You might as well say "I'm really stupid."  It would have the same effect with me.  Note:  This is not the same as "I don't have time to read"  which is valid especially in the grad school world.

7.  Law School.  Law school is a life ruiner, it ruins people lives.  I hate the Socratic method.  I hate the gigantic text books.  I hate that I can't ask questions.  Maybe, I don't want to yell at you and tell you you're wrong.  Maybe I just want to clarify your position.  Or maybe I'm just confused.  But no, if you speak in class you better make a statement and be read to defend it.  What the hell kind of way to learn is that?  I also hate the fact that every one you come into contact with is an argumentative asshole.  Not that I hate argumentative assholes in general as I myself am one.  But when you and everyone around you love to argue just for the sake of it, it's really hard to just sit down with someone and talk about yourself or your day or whatever which makes it extremely hard to make friends.  My boyfriend has managed to make lots of friends in law school and since he likes me, they let me hang out with them. But after two years with the same 80 people I still don't feel comfortable or like I'm part of the group.  I don't expect that my next two years will change that.

8.  Anyone who does not see the Mean Girls reference in #7.  It's right there people!

9.  People who write in Library books.  I don't care that you think this line is "important" or "Brilliant!"  Also, it's just disrespectful to write in a book that doesn't belong to you.  Shame shame.

10. Sports Cars.  Oh, your car can go from 0 to 1000 in 2 seconds?  I don't care.  Also, why buy a car that is designed to go really really fast when you have zero opportunities to drive it really really fast?  This is not the autobahn, kids.
11.  Men who try to impress me with their sports cars.  See above.
12.  Car Sticker Families.  What is the appeal here?  Since when has anyone wanted to be portrayed as a stick figure?  And the ones depicted in other shapes are even worse.  I jog past one house who put flip flop stickers on their van to depict their family.  That just doesn't even make any sense.
13.  Slut Shaming.  Leave me and my vagina alone.  My sexuality or sexual expression is absolutely none of your business, unless I'm sleeping with you.  Which I'm not so there.
14.  Children who scream "CHIHUAHUA!" and then run towards my dog.  No, you cannot pet her.  She's scared of you.  Probably because your hollering sounded like a war cry to her.  Leave her alone.
15. Business School.  It takes my boyfriend away from me, stresses him out, drains his energy and then sends him back to me exhausted with a shit ton of work to do.  Unacceptable.  
16.  Social work students who say "South Carolina is so backwards.  I'm getting out of here as soon as I graduate."  If you want to leave this state, that's totally fine.  If you get a job somewhere else or just feel a special calling to work in another location, by all means go.  But fleeing our state because it has problems is the antithesis of being a good social worker.  You are supposed to help, to effective positive change, to speak truth to power.  Isn't that why you chose the field of social work?  Don't turn your back on a state that needs you so desperately.  

17.  People who malign college greek life.  If you weren't greek, then please don't tell me how harmful sororities are for young women.  My sorority built me up and supported me.  Don't blaspheme Tridelta or you and I will have words.
18.  Speed Bumps.  I like to drive fast, get out of my way.  However, I love those "Speed Humps" signs because they are hilarious.
19.  People who look gorgeous at the gym.  That is simply not fair.
20.  Diet Soda.  If I want something without calories, I'll drink water.
21.  Orange.  I grew up in Columbia.  I've been a Gamecocks fan all my life.  I just have this mental block against the color orange.  

There are many many more things that I hate.  I'm good at hating (which is kind of sad, isn't it?).  These are just the things I could think of when I started.  It's kind of a downer to start my blog with but this is what was on my mind so this is what y'all get.  Maybe I'll make a "Things I love" list one day. We'll see.
