10 Things Bikers Know To Be True

Biking is the best.


1. Biking is fucking awesome, and you're awesome for burning fat and not burning gas.

Heck yeah, you know it.

2. When you can bike without using your hands, it feels like you're flying.

At least, that's how I feel anyway...

3. Biking in the rain is mostly crappy but can be sort of fun.

If you have nowhere to be, and you can easily go home and dry off, that's what makes it doable. Oh also if you aren't riding in a storm.

4. It feels good to get in exercise daily.

If you bike to and from school or more-BAM there's some nice exercise for the day.

5. Biking is therapeutic.

Put in some headphones day or night, hit the road and you're outta sight. So nice.

6. Passing cars makes you feel cool.

You may or may not get to your destination faster than someone in a car, but when there's traffic it sure does make ya feel good.

7. You hate when the car in front of you doesn't use their blinker.

Everyone should just really use their blinker.... or hand signals.

8. When you pass by another biker, you get that inclusive nod, wave or smile.

Makes it all worth it.

9. It's really rad to use your body to propel yourself forward.

You are literally getting yourself from point A to B! How cool!

10. Night bike rides are the best, hands down.

If you haven't done this yet, this is something that's needed. I live in small, college town where the kids leave for breaks and that's the best time to do it. When no one else is out. With front and back lights too of course.


Thanks for reading!! Get on your bike and ride!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
