The 5 Sure Signs of Having Road Rage

Most of us refuse to admit whether or not we have road rage. We think that road rage is only for the outrageously insane drivers out there, but if you find yourself relating to these 5 signs, then you probably fall under the category of a Road Rager. The first step is accepting you have a problem. However, admitting it may be harder than that, and that's okay. Baby steps, people.


5. Your friends are terrified to drive with you.

It doesn't matter if you've never been in an accident or received a speeding ticket. They've seen the rage. They've seen the anger. And they fear for their life whenever they get in your vehicle, whether they admit it or not.


4."Are you serious?" ... "I mean, seriously?" ... "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" ...

A sure sign you have road rage is never knowing whether or not other drivers are serious. Usually these phrases are used in the middle of a story you are telling. You're well acquainted with slamming your foot on the break and hand against the horn in your utter distaste for the human specimen.


3. Getting frustrated at the car in front of you for "driving too slow" even though they're probably driving 5-10 mph over the speed limit anyway...

You probably have road rage if you've ever said, "Come on, granny, let's go," and then passed the car up to realize it was actually an old lady putting along. However, your tiny bit of guilt afterwards doesn't really make up for it as you continue to speed past them; praying God doesn't send you to that special place in hell reserved specifically for road ragers like you.


2. Immediately tapping the breaks when you realize someone is following a little too close.

You don't even realize you're doing it anymore. It's second instinct to give that break a nice couple of taps with each word: GET *taps* OFF *taps* MY *taps* BUTT *taps*.


1. The feeling of anger that rises in you when someone doesn't use their turn signal could only come from Satan himself.

We've all been there. We've finally reached the perfect speed and are riding on cruise when all of a sudden the car in front of us slams on their break and takes a sharp turn. We slam our own breaks to avoid colliding with them and may even spew a few foul sentences before those three little words come darting past our lips: ARE YOU SERIOUS?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
