39 Thoughts People Have While Driving In Florida

Defensive Driving Advice.com

For the people that have spent any extended amount of time in Florida, it is clear that no one in the state knows how to drive. Whether it be braking for absolutely no reason, going 15 under the speed limit, or whizzing by you like "The Fast and Furious," you'll encounter some kind of bad driving on your way from point A to point B.

Being a native Floridian, I've witnessed just about everything. I even know that most people in my area took their driver's test within the safe, non-realistic confines of a parking lot and adjoining backroad. I thought about this every time as I was driving, and questioned why this was allowed.

Fair warning, my never before written down road rage is about to be unleashed. If you are easily offended, turn back now. Also, this will be a PG-13 version since my grandparents may read this. Feel free to substitute expletives at any given point.

As a Florida driver, you may experience these thoughts at some point during your drive.

1. The light is green. Go.

2. Get off your phone and drive!

3. Please, go a little slower, I'm not in a rush or anything.

4. Are you even going the speed limit?

5. WHY ARE YOU GOING 15 UNDER? GET OFF THE ROAD!

6. Nice turn signal.

7. Oh OK, let's slam on our brakes.

8. There's not even anyone in front of you, what was the point of that?

9. There's only two lanes. Both of you can't go the same speed side by side.

10. I'm going 10 over, is that not fast enough for you?

11. Oh no, please, cut me off.

12. You don't know where you're going do you?

13. Tourists.

14. Yes, because cutting across four lanes of traffic is totally safe. Enjoy Disney.

15. You don't need to stop to turn right. You really don't.

16. It's just rain. No need to freak out.

17. Now you're all going to drive slow. Fanfreakingtastic.

18. Are you kidding me?!

19. Don't even think about cutting the line.

20. Oh good! I've always wanted to be stuck at an intersection because you idiots blocked it.

21. That's illegal by the way.

22. GAS PEDAL! PUSH IT!

23. The light is green...

24. And there's more traffic. Awesome.

25. Do any of you know how to drive? Any at all?

25. Stop riding my tail.

26. If you hit me, you're dead.

27. It's dark out, turn on your lights.

28. No, not your brights.

29. I'm surrounded by idiots.

30. You're in the fast lane, going under the speed limit. Makes sense.

31. Move over!

32. There's no reason for you to slow down. None at all.

33. WHAT

34. ARE

35. YOU

36. DOING?!

37. I'm done.

38. Aaaaaand I can't park. Awesome.

39. I hate everyone.

Drive safely!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.
