10 Things I Hate About Life

1. Noisy Shoes - That noise that converse and vans make when you wear them for too long. WHY is this so? It's so loud, and unecessary!

2. Project Maths - This year, the Irish education system introduced a new maths course, called Project Maths. It's absolutely ridiculous, and this one question sums it up nicely:
"If John has 2 apples weighing 50g and 70g, and Mary gives him 4 apples of heights 10cm, 9cm, 6cm and 11cm, he eats two along with a bowl of pasta, weighing 1 kg, what colour is his jumper?"
It's not fair, I'm usually good at maths, and now I'm just awful.

3. Concert tickets selling out quickly - Tickets for big concerts always go on sale on a Friday morning at nine, at which point I am in school, in Art class. Why is it that Ticketmaster hate me, and refuse to let me buy a ticket, because by the time I'm home from school, they're all gone! There should be some sort of pre-order system I reckon.

4. When singers/bands play gigs in small theatres - Leading on from my last point, I mean, clearly if you've sold out 3 nights in a small theatre, in 20 seconds flat, you could really just move the shows to a bigger venue, or at least set another date!

5. Those inbetween days where there's no shirts or socks - Usually a Thursday or a Friday, where all the good shirts and socks haven't been washed from the beginning of the week yet, so you don't have any and you look EVERYWHERE for them, but there's just none so you have to wear the shirts that your friends have written rude things on the back of your collar, or socks with no elastic in them, so you spend the day pulling them up. My God it's the worst.

6. When the internet router shuts off - You're in the middle of loading a movie, downloading a song, doing homework, writing a blog post, listening to a podcast, and BAM "Netopia Router" says that the connection was lost. It's just the most annoying thing to happen.

7. The ends of a Diet Coke in a bottle - It's gotten flat, warm and just doesn't quench the thirst you need it to. It's sad because it can be up to about 100ml out of the bottle, which is 20% of the drink, and you don't even enjoy it! No matter how tight you close the cap, nothing can prevent it.

8. Bad Dinners - You come home after a long day, hungry and tired, sit down to the table and what's put in front of you? A stew (something that was just inevitably going to be gross, just say it.. STEW), or a lamb chop.. Something along those depressing lines, and it just makes the day even worse than it already was.

9. When my contact falls out - Just the one. Perfect vision from one eye, and a nice painful blur from the other, and I'm left with no choice but to take the other one out to even the sight, and just walk around blind for the rest of the day/night, squinting at my phone, which is touching my nose cause I need to hold it so close, trying to see what a text says, or who is calling me.

10. Rihanna - She's a hussy and we all know it.
