So I've done this before and I thought I could expand a little more. I'm constantly getting annoyed with people who do stupid things and I think that's normal for all people to feel, right? Well hopefully whoever is reading this, finds it amusing and agrees with me on SOMETHING.
10 (more) Things That I Hate:
1) I reeeeally get annoyed by girls who say they LOVE Starbucks and they're addicted and blah, blah, blah, when in REALITY they only buy double chocolate chip frappuccinos or hot chocolate and post photos of their names on the cups on Instagram. Sweetie, drinking Starbucks does not make you cool, it only makes you broke. (Granted, I buy coffee from Starbucks almost everyday, but it's the easiest place to go on campus usually to get caffeine.)
2) I don't understand the need to whisper LOUDLY in quiet places. Do you know what I mean? If you're in the library, then whisper or just be loud and rude, but don't scream whisper. That's just irritating.
3) If you're wearing headphones, that's so that you can only hear your music...plain and simple. I want to yank out people's headphones when they have the volume so loud that everyone around them can hear the song word for word. Be courteous, people! Also, don't you realize what that will do to your hearing one day? Yikes.
4) KNOW-IT-ALLS. Get off your high horse! I understand that you might know a lot of information on something and you're proud of that. Cool, I'm proud of you too. However, sucking up to every professor in that subject and showing everyone else up in class is honestly quite nauseating.
5) Uneducated concert goers. Now, by uneducated I don't mean that they haven't been to school, but just uneducated in how a concert works. For example, on black Friday this year my sister and I went to a Fall Out Boy show in Chicago. We waited outside in line for 12 hours in the cold...stupid, I know, but we enjoy doing it. It's part of it! Anyway, when the line finally started getting big closer to the show everyone was standing up waiting for the security guards to let us inside. There would be people who would walk up to the door and ASK the security guards, "Is there a line or can we just go inside?" OF COURSE THERE'S A LINE. Why do you think all these people are LINED up outside? A freeze out cha-cha line? No. Get to the back.
6) This one is probably just my introvert coming out but I cannot stand when I'm sitting at the library maybe just minding my own business and someone just sits next to me and starts talking about NOTHING. Maybe I had homework to work on? I'm obviously not physically inviting; I'm not smiling or making eye contact, so why do you continue conversing. I'm not going to be rude to that person, so I'm always stuck in a pointless conversation that's wasting my time. Basically, if you want to talk to someone, check their body language first.
7) On another note, I really don't like when people say "what's up?" as we're walking past each other. I can't answer your question sooo I guess I'll just awkwardly say "Hey" and keep walking.
8) Oh my goodness, WOMAN CRUSH WEDNESDAY. Girls: STOP posting a different angle of your best friend every Wednesday. If you seriously have THAT much interest in your friend there must be something more than friendship there, and hey I'm cool with that, but stop lying to yourself if that's the case. Mostly just try to add some variety in your woman crushes or don't post them at all. Guys: It's the same for except it's your girlfriend. That's cute and all to do it a few times here and there but seriously, EVERY Wednesday? We get it, you like your girlfriend. You're supposed to like her.
9) I really don't like when there's no seats open on the bus and people leave their bags on the seat next to them. I understand, no one wants a stranger to get all cozy with them on public transportation, but it's just the polite thing to do to move your bag for someone else.
10) Ungrateful people. I feel like this time of the year, the ungrateful people come out of hiding. They're upset that they didn't EVERYTHING they wanted for Christmas. dude, be happy that you got anything for Christmas! There are a lot of people who can't afford it at all. Also, I think the most enjoyable part of this holiday is to give to people. Giving brings a lot more joy than getting. Try it out and you'll see.
Okay so there's my little rant for today. If you think of other things annoying that people do then feel free to list them in the comments below.

Zoho's Fashion Prediction Blog
So, I'd like to think that I have not only a good sense of style and what's "trendy," but I also seem to predict in my mind what's going to be over-manufactured and shipped to every trendsetting clothing store and displayed on every twig-thin model in fashion catalogues. Not to brag, but I guess I just have the eye. For example, at the beginning of last fall I became entirely obsessed with patterned bottoms (skinny jeans, leggings). I was in dire need of floral skinny jeans and could barely find them anywhere. However, I happened to find a pair that I loved and I remember someone asking me why I wanted them so bad at the time. The same thing goes with floral/tribal leggings. This winter, I see patterned leggings and skinny jeans EVERYWHERE, not only in the stores but on the trendy little legs of most college students. The same kind of coincidence happened with studs. I went on a stud spree and it seemed like no one understood my obsession but now I see a stud or a spike on every other top in the mall. It's almost annoying, because I like to be different, but eventually everyone is going to be wearing a similar wardrobe to me. This is why I've decided to put my ideas out there in my blog. I'm putting a list below of things that I'm recently obsessed with and I feel like they're going to come into style soon. Not everything is 100% because really trends only become trends if someone famous or admirable wears it first and I'm neither of those things.
However, here's my list:
1. Patent leather combat boots
-Everyone knows that combat boots in general are in style right now, but normally one would see them in matte leather. I think patent leather ones are SPECTACULAR. Mainly bright colored ones or even plain white, but either way, I can see these being a huge hit. I honestly have been practically crying over wanting a pair of pink ones.
2. Plaid
-I'm not talking plaid flannels. When I say plaid, I mean school girl, punk rock type of stuff. I see the movie Clueless. Honestly, who could NOT like plaid?
3. Velvet
-I absolutely adore velvet. I have for a while, but I can't find what I'm looking for in any stores. I'm kind of really hoping that this trends soon because I need my velvet pieces that I so desire after. For example, velvet blazers, dresses, and skirt come to mind.

4. Palm cuff bracelets
-These are very different and hard to find but I feel like once people start seeing them, they'll be obsessed! (like me)
I hope this blog is interesting and/or helpful to spark your fashion eye. I'll probably start posting these more often. If anyone sees these start to trend, post a comment about where you've seen it or what you think!

15 Things That I Hate
So I've recently noticed that I complain a lot and that I seem to get annoyed by a lot of things....I have decided to make a list of everything I hate. Here we go:
1) I HATE when people spell my name with a Y at the end. It's really not that hard to put two dots over an e.
2) I HATE couples that wear matching t-shirts or make mushy Facebook statuses about how much they love each other. No one cares.
3) On that note, I HATE when couples make Facebook accounts together. For example: JohnAndJane Doe. Do you really not trust each other enough to have your own accounts? Or do you like to make people think that you're SO in love that you're like one person instead of two? OR do you just like to confuse the shit out of everyone so they don't know who is commenting on their photo...was it John or Jane? Assholes.
4) I HATE butterfly/dolphin tattoos.
5) I HATE when people pronounce "wash" as "warsh" or anything like that. Where do these imaginary "r's"' come from? Also, if you refer to ALL soft drinks as "cokes" I probably hate you a little.
6) I HATE when people wear socks with flats or Sperrys. Just stop.
7) I HATE when people sing when they aren't good at it. I know my boundaries; if I sound like shit singing a song, I will not continue to sing it in front of people.
8) I HATE when people talk about themselves. I know, everyone does it sometimes...hell my entire blog is about my life and my problems. However, if you're trying to have a conversation with someone, you should probably let the other person talk some. It's not all about you all the time.
9) I HATE when people get tattoos in French or Latin or Italian for absolutely no reason. If there's a meaning behind getting one in a different language, go ahead; but seriously, if you had to put it into a translator, it's probably going to be wrong and you're just going to look like a jackass.
10) I HATE the whole they're, their, and there confusion. It's really not that difficult.
11) I HATE when guys (or girls) post pictures of their muscles or shirtless pictures. Honestly, no one asked to see you half naked..unless you're in a swimsuit..that seems acceptable me.
12) I HATE also when people post pictures of weed on Instagram. Like why do they think that's cool?
13) I HATE when people text me "hey" like four times in a row. If I didn't reply the first time or even the second time, I'm either busy or I don't want to talk. So stop.
14) I HATE when people make Facebook statuses about how drunk they are/were. No one cares about how cool you are.
15) I HATE when people try to talk to me when I'm on the phone...or when I have my headphones in.
I feel like that's not everything, but I'm going to stop now before I seem a little too bitchy.

Personal Confession
I have a body image problem. Okay, there, I said it. I feel like it's always been in the back of my mind and just never really showed itself until this semester.
Growing up, I've always been small. Very short, very skinny. My older sister used to always be a tiny bit bigger than me...which made sense because she's my OLDER sister. However, in high school she seemed to stop growing (both up and out) as I continued. Since I was about 15 or 16, I've been significantly bigger than my older sister. I have always been short, though, and skinny, just not as small as my sister. I'm maybe 2-3 inches taller and weigh..kind of a lot more than her. This is where the problems began.
You see, my sister and I used to fight a lot. I mean A LOT. I'm pretty sure we fought more than any other pair of sisters have fought before. We were enemies. I hated her, she hated me. In the time period of which we despised each other, my sister found an insult that always worked on me. Any time I was "winning" and argument, she'd throw the "at least I'm not FAT" card at me. This honestly didn't bother me through high school too much because I knew I was still skinny. It would always hurt for a little while and then I'd brush it off. However, since I've been at college it's been a much different reaction.
My sister and I are friends now. I like talking to her and hanging out with her and listening to Fall Out Boy with her. We don't really get into arguments like we used to..but she still likes to throw the occasional "fat" or "ugly" insult my way. I won't even say anything mean and she'll be like "Yea..I'm obviously the prettier sibling." She isn't even joking when she says this. She says it in all seriousness and belief! Another thing she does is she'll be like "I'm taking this shirt (or this pair of pants)" and I'll say, "They won't even fit you" and she'll snap back with a, "Actually, they'll probably fit me better. Everything you wear is too small on you because you're fat." Like WHY is that necessary? It's not. I NEVER say anything like that to her. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. Like why is she still so competitive? Why does she want me to feel bad about myself?
Anyway, the point of this blog is to confess my body image problem that has gotten so much worse than it was. I have gained 8 pounds since August. I can't even look at myself in the mirror with out getting insanely pissed off or sad. I almost cry every night because I can feel how fat I am when I lay in my bed. I've tried to starve myself, but it's too hard. I wish I could. I eat a maximum of 1100 calories a day though. I feel a little bit better every night when I enter my calorie counter and it says that I'm eating an unhealthy amount of calories a day. I'm going to lose that 8 pounds...maybe even more if I can. I don't want to come back from school and be that girl who gained her freshman 15. I don't think I could handle that.
In closing, I did not write this for attention, advice, help, compliments, or insults. I wrote it to get it off my chest. I don't really feel any better though. I will once I lose that weight. I'll keep you posted, blogger followers.
