14 Thoughts We All Have While Driving In The Snow
Pexel

There is nothing better than waking up for a brand new day, pulling open the curtains, and realizing that it is a snow storm and you have places to be. You can't avoid it. It's life. It's winter. THIS IS SNOW DRIVING.


1. *Pulls out of driveway. "Hey! This isn't too bad!"


There's no traffic! The road is plowed! And the snow is really pretty! This is going to be a great driving experience!


2. That moment when you get onto the highway and it's actually not that great.


Okay! So just kidding! The roads lied! This is actually bad!


3. "So maybe I should just turn around, you know?"


If you just turn around you can go home to your nice warm bed!


4. "Nah! I bet a few miles up the road will be more clear! All these 4x4 trucks are doing just fine!"


When you are passing 4x4 trucks and you are the only sedan, there is a problem.


5. The snow literally feels like this.



The snow is literally hitting the windshield, you can't see through the wipers, and it fees like some low-budget Sci-Fi movie from the $1 bin of Kmart.


6. The light turns red and ABS kicks in and you don't think you are going to stop.


Hmmmmm. That felt like it could have been expensive.


7. "Please don't let me die. Please don't let me die in the snow going 5 mph!"


I WANT TO LIVE. I DON'T HAVE LIFE INSURANCE!


8. When you pass snow plows and they aren't even plowing but there is 6 inches of snow on the ground and you are trying to figure out what your tax dollars are actually funding.


So if my tax dollars fund the city and the city isn't plowing... then what exactly does my tax money fund?


9. *Watching a rear-wheel drive muscle car try to go through an intersection.




Sometimes we just have to root for each other! "Rock it back and forth! Put it in reverse, put it in drive!"


10. How it feels being unable to see the lane markings.


But still not hitting the car next to you takes skills.



11. Being a few miles away from your destination but traffic is stopped and you kinda just feel like walking the rest of the way.



But then again, you'd have to walk in the snow. BUT I CAN LITERALLY SEE THE PLACE I NEED TO BE.


12. Arriving at your destination and finding that the entrance and parking lot are not plowed yet.


So we are supposed to drift in here or what?


13. Just being excited to be alive after driving in snow, getting passed by trucks, and probably almost dying a few times.



We survived! We made it!


14. But then you remember that in a few hours you are going to have to leave... and that means driving in the snow. AGAIN.



*incoherently crying.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
