Thoughts That Occur In My Head While Riding DC Metro

1. I need a car

If I had a car I wouldn't be riding the metro. But unfortunately college has taken all of my money and has left me with only enough money to put on my smart trip card every 2 weeks.

2. Are you really disabled?

Oh did that sound rude? Here let me rephrase it: are you really incapable of standing for a few metro stops? Someone who is REALLY disabled or elderly is standing while you the un-disabled person are sitting comfortably looking down at your phone because you don't want to make eye contact with someone who is staring you down because you took the seat that they are suppose to use because of their disability. Yeah what a jerk you are.

3. Excuse me bag, can I sit there?

Unfortunately I encounter this everyday.There's always some woman or man who thinks that their bag is royalty and needs a seat of their own instead of holding it on their laps and letting another human being sit in that seat. Why people?? Why??

4. You are not the Incredible Hulk, please don't try to open the doors.

Why do men think it's okay to stop the doors from closing by pulling them apart like they are the Incredible Hulk? The doors are closing stop trying to be the hero by letting the other riders in, if they missed the metro, they missed the metro. I don't think he realizes he's preventing the rest of us from getting home.

5. Dear lady with the glasses, I can see you staring at me.

Nothing makes me more uncomfortable if it's not seeing someone use their sunglasses as a way to stare at people and be nosey. Obviously we are making eye contact through your sunglasses,so it's time too look away from now ma'm.

6. Why does it take 3 minutes after people are already in the metro cars to close the door.

I get it, schedule maintenance but do you have to do that at every stop?? Geez at this rate I'm never going to get home!

7. To the jerk who blocks the doorway......

You're not suppose to be there sir. Can't you see we're all struggling to get inside the doors because you decide it's okay to stand by the doors and not move. Don't you hear the driver "please go to the center aisles of the metro cars." Obviously not if you're standing there. Next time I will push and shove you to teach you a lesson.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
