- Telegraph Ave
- People that insist on wearing their school gear everyday
- When people call Berkeley 'Cal'
- People who don't answer their phones, and claim to like me even though they rarely call me. I can't be expected to do everything!
- Patriarchy
- Annoying valley girls on their cell phones
- Parties that end too early
- Ugly, unfashionable people who have the audacity to be snobby. What the fuck are you doing? Look in the mirror you fooool!
- People who aren't doing anything with their lives but still feel the need to judge others (Oh yeah, and being 'hip' everyday doesn't mean you're doing something with your life).
- You know Bush and all the other evil people in the world.
