10 Signs You Are A New Jersey Driver
Zachary Staines

New Jersey, the state that is always in a rush, but never has something THAT important to go to. Whether it is cursing your head off, honking your horn for the entirety of your drive, or even just yelling for the sake of yelling, because we all know the other car can't possibly hear us, a silent drive is never an option.

If you do any of the following, you are most definitely a New Jersey Driver.

1. Speed up and stop:

Speeding up and stopping just shy of someones tailpipe just so no one cuts you off, (even if you are sitting in dead stopped traffic).

2. Flipping the bird:

If you don't flip someone off at least once, then why are you even driving?

3. Cutting people off:

We hate when someone does it to us, but we just love doing it to other people (and signaling is optional, obviously).

4. The speed limit has no limit:

If it says 25, you're usually doing 40.

5. Our horn is sacred:

Sometimes we just honk because everyone else is or we just need another way of calling someone an idiot.

6. There is no such thing as a yellow light:

If it's yellow, it's basically green. Yellow doesn't mean slow down, it means speed up at the last possible second. If you stop at a yellow light, chances are you're getting rear-ended.

7. The left lane has its own speed limit:

The left lane is not for passing, it's for drivers who want to go over 70 miles per hour, and if you go under 70, chances are you're getting flipped off or cursed out.

8. Constantly reassuring yourself that YOU are the best driver:

Everyone else are amateurs when you're on the road, you are the only one who knows how to drive.

9. You hate being the passenger:

If you're not driving, you are panicking. Everyone else's driving puts you on edge, or you just like being in control.

10. We loathe out of state drivers:

Anyone who's not from Jersey follows the speed limit and are polite drivers, and we can not stand it. If you're from out of state chances are you will be cut off and avoided at all costs.

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.
