20 Thoughts We All Have While Sitting In LA Traffic

Sitting in Los Angeles traffic is the absolute worst. Nothing has the ability to ruin your day quite like spending hours upon hours literally just sitting on the freeway moving a few measly feet every fifteen minutes or so. Whether it's because of construction, an accident or simply the hordes of people trying to get to wherever it is they are going, hitting traffic in Los Angeles in inevitable. So take a deep breath, put on your favorite music, get comfortable, and accept that you might be here for awhile.

1. “Oh no, traffic, hopefully it’s just some minor slowing.”

2. “Maybe there’s an accident up ahead that’s causing the delay.”

3. “Where could all of these people possibly be going?”

4. “You would think six lanes would be enough, but they aren’t.”

5. “So going zero miles an hour is fun.”

6. “We should all just play a big round of Chinese fire drill.”

7. “Ugh the carpool lane is going so fast, why don’t I have any friends to carpool with?”

8. “Why is there nothing good on the radio?”

9. “Ew did that person just spit out the window?”

10. “Look at all the people texting.”

11. “Seriously, now is the time you decide to clean off your windshield? Now I have water all over my car.”

12. “Oh boy, I have to pee. Don’t think about it, don’t think about it.”

13. “Why are we going so slow?”

14. “Wow she’s really rocking out in there, that must be her jam, I wish I was in her car.”

15. “I’ve moved three miles in an hour.”

16. “Why would anyone want to live here?”

17. “Gross, is that guy picking his nose? Uh oh, caught me staring, look away.”

18. “Hmm maybe I should get off and just go shopping instead.”

19. “Woo-hoo we’re moving!”

20. “Heck ya, bye-bye 405, it’s been real.”

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.

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.
