Nothing makes me more mad than drivers who can't drive.

9 Signs You Might Have Road Rage

Driving in Idaho is something that most kids start at a very young age. I was in the third grade the first time my friend's dad had me steer the steering wheel while he maneuvered the pedals. I started practicing my driving skills at 14 and had a license at 15. The same is true for most Idahoans...what is also true about Idaho drivers? Road rage. The amount of times I yell and get irritated at other drivers is exponential, and I know I'm not the only one. Admittedly, it took me a while to come to terms with the fact that I have road rage, but now that I have, here's my best top 9 signs that you too, might have road rage.

1. You yell at the people who make you angry like they can really hear you.

Literally this mechanism is used so that the cars around you know where you are going. It's important to use in order to avoid accidents...so no matter how much you don't feel like using it, USE IT. Because wow I want to kill you when you don't.

3. You slow down when people tailgate you...like a lot.

Oh, okay, I am going 55 in a 50 and you are that close to me? Lol...25 it is.

4. But also when people are going slow you ride their butts until they speed up...

And then when they slow down it's the end of the world and you yell at them and get closer because WHY ARE THEY GOING SO SLOW.

5. Intersections overwhelm you because people always mess something up.

And then you yell at them but also fear for you life for a minute and then proceed to tell everyone about how stupid that person is and contemplate how that person even got a license.

6. You often contemplate how people on the road even got a license in the first place.

IF YOU CAN'T DRIVE YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T. That's all.

7. Hand Gestures.

This is for that person that literally leaves you speechless with how completely awful their driving is. Admittedly, I have only done this once or twice, and I'm not proud, but my road rage just takes over sometimes.

8. You find yourself honking your horn to let people know of their mistake.

I am not a fan of thinking, but sometimes, it's necessary. Especially when someone potentially puts you at risk because of their mistake.

9. The center lane IS NOT FOR MERGING.

I'll say it again...THE CENTER LANE IS NOT FOR MERGING. Literally this makes me so irritated I could pull my hair out. Honestly, what are you doing...that is for turning left NOT FOR YOU TO MERGE. So stop that like yesterday.


Okay, so there you have it, the top 9 things that absolutely grind my gears, and if they grind yours too...you might just have road rage.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
