10 Things People With Road Rage Hate

For those who are like me and get labeled the typical, "Masshole," driver: you know the ins and outs of driving frustrations. It comes with the nickname that you're prone to road-rage, road anxieties, and a lot of eye-rolling occurs towards other drivers. Everyone has their triggers: does your driving cause anyone annoyance?

1. People Who Stop at Green Lights

Green means go. Vert signifie aller. Medios verdes van. Am I making myself clear?

2. Traffic

I think this applies for everyone with and without road rage. I just especially have a trigger with it because I hate being late and I hate feeling trapped and traffic is so lovely at doing both.

3. People Who Drive Below the Speed Limit

It's a speed limit. Not a suggestion, and yes you can be ticketed for going TOO slow.

4. People Who Tail Gate

As hypocritical as it is: we will now drive slower. Actually, probably the speed limit or below it. Just to agitate you. Even though we would be furious if someone did this exact same thing to us.... but let's be real: I was probably going over the speed limit, so why are you tailgating me?

5. People Who Stop at Yellow Lights

Just please accept the challenge and go. You do not need to slam the brakes and risk the safety of the cars behind you and around you.

6. Being Told We Drive Like A-holes

We already know and we are proud!

7. Sitting Passenger to a Slow Driver

Most likely how they feel in my car, but at least I get places in a timely manner.

8. Priuses and Minivans

No offense, okay you'll probably take some offense, but a good 90% of people who drive these cars: drive awfully. Please stay in the right lane on the highway, stop braking so early for stop signs, and always remember your blinkers.

9. Getting Stuck behind School buses

Can kids seriously NOT walk 200 feet to their street or house? We must stop every quarter mile to drop off another one or three lazy children?

10. One Lane Roads You Can't Escape On

If you break down: I am stuck. If you drive slow: I am stuck behind you. I can not pass you, I can not make you go faster, I can not avoid the traffic situations. One way lanes are the absolute worst idea of transportation history.

No, not all drivers get mad or anxious or frustrated. Also, no, not all Massachusetts drivers are this way nor are all road-raged individuals from Massachusetts. It also comes in more forms than middle fingers, honking horns, and swearing bloody murder in the privacy of your own car. Which ever way you express it: just please drive safely.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
