If you live in or near St. Louis, Missouri, you know how bad I-44 traffic is due to road construction. I have been driving for almost 5 years, and I regularly have to drive that interstate. When I finally think they are done with construction, they start a new project on the same roads they just finished. I-44 is one of the worst interstates to drive in St. Louis because of the road construction, it's not as bad as I-270 during rush hour, but it's pretty close sometimes.

Since I have always had to deal with driving that interstate with all the road construction, I have decided to put a list together of things that will happen before they are finally done with all the road work.

1. IPhone 8 will be coming out

Should be coming out sometime in 2017!

2. Toy Story Land in Disney World will be finished

There's no official date set yet, but should be opening within the next few years!

3. Me graduating college

Hoping to graduate by 2019.

4. Trump presidency will be over

Unless he tries to go for another 4 years, a new president will be named in 2020, and Trump will be out of office by early 2021.

5. Me having kids

Not really looking to have kids within the next few years, unless something happens. But I know I'll have kids before I-44 construction is done.

6. College will change

Could become more online base instead of going to classrooms. This will help you work a full-time job or take care of your children,etc.

7. Me becoming a grandparent


Hopefully this won't happen for another 30 years, but It will still happen before I-44 is done.

8. Someone will find Waldo

People have been looking since 1987, and no one has yet found him.

9. Flying cars

Heck, we won't even need roads by the time I-44 is done.

10. Cubs winning the World Series

It'll take another 108 years, but it is possible for them too win again before I can drive on I-44 without any issues.

You can never trust that Missouri is ever done with I-44 construction, but you can believe that most of things will happen before they are done. I know road construction is important, and creates many jobs, but it doesn't mean it's not a pain in my butt when I'm trying to get to work. Best of luck to everyone on their travels.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
