10 Moments We All Have As MTA Bus Commuters
Business Insider

If you take a bus to class every day, you know the MTA struggle all too well. In NYC, public transportation is a blessing when you need to get where you need to go but, even the best of us run into trouble sometimes. Here are ten moments we've all had while commuting to class:

1. Walking to the bus stop while calculating in your head if you have enough money left on your card to get to school. Then, rehearsing in your head as you get to the bus stop what you're gonna say to the bus driver if your card is empty.

2. Getting on the bus and seeing a section of it taken up by high school kids, and for some reason being terrified by them just become they come in packs.


3. When you notice someone staring at you for a long period of time and you can't tell if they're trying to be flirty or creepy.

Then you finally make eye contact with them and it turns out they're looking out the window behind you for their stop.

4. When there's that loud person on their phone telling the most dramatic story, and half of you wants them to hang up, but half of you wants to know how the story ends.


5. When you're on the bus and the back door won't open at your stop so you have to scream "Excuse me! Backdoor!" like a maniac until the bus driver hears you, all while the rest of the bus looks at you like you're crazy.

6. Those days where you just don't want to sit next to anyone so every person who gets on the bus gets the "please don't sit next to me" face as they walk by you until the bus fills up and someone absolutely has to sit next to you.

7. When it's rush hour, the bus is packed and someone has the audacity to sit on the outer seat and put their bag on the window seat.

8. Running out of money on your MetroCard, but hoping the bus driver lets you on anyway.

9. Seeing your bus at the bus stop and seeing the "Next Bus Please" or "Not In Service" bus coming your way.

10. When the app says the bus is fifteen minutes away but when you get to the bus stop ten minutes later the bus the bus is leaving.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
