9 Things We All Hate About Driving
Huffington Post

There are some things about driving a car that really suck. They just can't be avoided. Here is an ultra-relatable list of just nine of those things we all hate about driving.

1. The 18 seagulls that live in your car.

Those 18 seagulls that flock in your car every time you hop in- where do they come from, and why are they there? We don't know, but we do know they're annoying as hell.

2. How the tired pop off every other mile and you have to get out of the car and chase them down.

It happens all the time; the tires of your car just shooting off into the abyss. We don't have time to chase down all four tires in the middle of the Kennedy! #rt if you know what I'm talking about!

3. The GPS voice harshly berating your driving choices.

It's so mean. "Take a left up here, asshat" "It'll take 20 minutes of your worthless life for you to get to work in this traffic" "You can never satisfy your wife, Brian" I mean, jeez! Who does it think it is?

4. The tiny steering wheel.

We've all wondered it before: why is the steering wheel in every car so tiny? It's like a dime in my monstrous hands. You would think car companies know to make steering wheels big enough for our hands.

5. How every time you change gears, the car moans lustily.

It's creepy. Does the car enjoy it? It makes me uncomfortable.

6. The HIV risk.

The HIV risk we all take while sitting behind the wheel is too much. Something must be done to eradicate HIV. Donate here.

7. Regis Philbin constantly talking your ear off from the backseat.

Regis Philbin is a famed and terrific comedic legend, but does he ever shut up? When he sits in the backseat telling me all about the bullshit he's done in his career, it's too much for me to take. He's a great guy, but he doesn't need to sit in the backseat of my car and talk for my entire drive to Texas and back.

8. How there are so many pedals.

It's scary. I can't keep track of them all and it stresses me out. Car companies should listen to the people and decrease the number of pedals to maybe one, one half.

9. Submitting a driving plan before being cleared to go to the supermarket.

I don't have time to write out a full plan of how I intend to get to the supermarket to buy my daughter her gummy vitamins every Sunday. It's irritating. Who even reads and clears them?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
