10 People You Meet Riding The Bus
CCRTA

I know many of us, including myself, who live on campus and don't own a car had to venture out to get supplies– food, toiletries, a puppy, etc. Here is my list of all the people you might meet while on the bus in Corpus Christi:

1. The Seat Hog

We've all seen them, people (mostly it's a dude) sprawled out over multiple seats, causing others to be cramped and uncomfortable. They are one of the worst kinds of bus riders.

2. The Eater

Although the bus clearly says "No food", these riders view the bus ride as their snack time. They choose to eat all sorts of things on the bus, but they choose the grossest food of all in public: Sunflowers, complete with spitting... Ew.

3. The Creepy Dude

Ah, yes, the creepy dude. While the creep can also be #4 & #6, it is not always so. One prime example is the dude/chick talking to themselves angrily or just staring at you the whole trip.

4. The Drunk

The drunk is very loud and usually smelly. A lot of the times the drunk is combined with #6, and makes all manner of crude jokes to the other people on the bus.

5. The Old Couple

They are the cutest and sweetest passengers to watch. They are typically absorbed in one another. They talk, but they are not disruptive. They keep to themselves and are an absolute pleasure to watch.

6. The Pervert

They can be either male or female. But more times than not, it's an older man. They'll walk up to their prey and try to get information– address, number, etc. from their victim. They typically flirt using some of the dumbest and/or crudest pick-up lines known to man. The pervert usually is combined with #4 and #3.

7. The Hottie

Oh my, oh my! What do we have here? It's the elusive hottie! They typically are on their phones the entire bus ride.That is good because it means that it's easier for you to stare at them without being spotted. When they reach their stop, you're sad to see them go, but 9 times out of 10, you love watching them walk away.

8. The Pack of Girls

They are typically found in the back (bad move), looking either scared out of their wits or very confident about the situation that they are in. They are the perverts favorite prey.

9. The Chatty Cathy

These are the people who try to strike up a conversation with anyone. Sometimes they'll talk to someone even if they don't get a response. While most people find them annoying, I love watching the chatty Cathy drone on and on.

10. The Silent Type

These are the people who get on the bus and are silent the whole time.They rarely utter a word, other than thanking the driver. They are the best type of passenger in my opinion.

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.
