When moving at an excruciatingly slow 5 MPH.

15 Things That Cross Our Minds During Rush Hour
Wired

The moment you step foot into a two/four-wheeled automobile of your choice, you are bound to run into traffic. A very small percentage of people in the world start the ignition of their vehicle hoping to run into traffic. For a countless number of reasons, summer seems to have the most gruesome traffic. Whether you appreciate being stuck in amidst of traffic or completely despise it, traffic seems to be an unavoidable aspect of working a typical 9-5.

  1. First and foremost, WHY is there traffic. Sometimes it feels like traffic is created just for us when we need it the least.
  2. As much as one loves traveling, how does one gather the patience stuck bumper to bumper after a long day at work.
  3. Good thing I only have to worry about this traffic over the summer. #summerintern
  4. Why did I think it was a good idea to take this job?
  5. While some of us are coming back from a 9-5 work shift, I am ridiculously jealous of the others are driving home from a nice, long and relaxing day at the beach.
  6. How many more times can the radio play JB’s “Love Yourself?”
  7. For those of us who have no shame, are people actually watch me sing along to “One Dance?”
  8. You see your dream car drive by and your heart cries a little.
  9. Why does the guy next to me have the audacity to think he can snake his way through the endless line of cars?
  10. Is the concept of a motor vehicle moving forward that hard to grasp after 5 pm?
  11. Can Tesla create a car with wings so I can magically fly over these cars?
  12. It feels like hours for the time in your car to change from 5:46 to 5:48 pm.
  13. You notice the small pile of Dunkin straw wrappers and old receipts that accumulate in the back seat. Maybe it’s time I cleaned my car…
  14. You have the AC blasting on at the lowest temperature possible. However, the intense sunrays still seem to make your car sweltering hot.
  15. Maybe if I make it home by 8 pm, I can just skip dinner and eat dessert.

Once you finally make it home, you think you’ve conquered the day… yet you know less than 24 hours later, you’re going to have to make it through miles of standstill traffic again.

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.
