Thoughts Everyone Has While Sitting In Traffic

Road trips can either be fun or the worst time of your life. In order for a road trip to be fun you need some essentials including friends, a good playlist and lots of junk food, but what you don't need is to sit in traffic for hours not moving. Sitting in bumper to bumper traffic is never fun, even if you are with some of your best friends. While sitting in traffic everyone has the exact same thoughts.

1. OK, this is fine, the traffic will pass.

We all have hope that the traffic will only last a few miles, but a few miles of bumper to bumper traffic can take hours. Most times, you are wrong, and the traffic lasts for multiple exits, a.k.a. multiple miles, and you might as well add another two hours to your ETA.

2. Crap, I am really hungry, we should have stopped at that last exit.

If you get hungry during a traffic jam, you are SOL, because you most likely won't be eating for at least an hour and that hour is going to go by very slowly.

3. Crap, I really have to pee.

Well again, you are SOL, because you are definitely going to have to hold that pee in for a while -- well, maybe. You have three options when this happens: pee on the side of the road and hope that nobody sees you; pee in a bottle; or hold it in.

4. Why can I not pick a song that I enjoy?

For some reason when you are sitting in traffic, you can never find a song you enjoy. You end up skipping 10 songs until you finally find a song that you sort of enjoy that you listen to for 1 minute and then end up skipping another 10 songs.

5. OK, great, so my friends can fall asleep, but I have to stay up

This is definitely the worst part of road trips. You've been sitting in traffic for over an hour, and slowly your friends are falling asleep, but you have to stay up bored out of your mind.

6. Should I make friends with the driver next to me?

This is definitely my favorite thing to do while in traffic. Just put on some good music, roll down the window, and start dancing weird with your friends. The driver next to you will definitely enjoy themselves...well their snapchat friends will definitely enjoy themselves.

7. Finally! We are moving again.

OK, traffic jam is over. Time to go 95 mph so we can try to get to our destination somewhat on time.

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.
