DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE OR NAH?!

Road rage: it happens to the best of us.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE OR NAH?!

It's a beautiful day. You decide to go for a little drive just because you can. You've got your shades, your perfect driving play list, an almost full tank of gas, and nothing but time. As soon as you enter the roadway, however, you are hit with the biggest hazard of them all--other drivers. If you are anything like me (or my husband) you have probably said some colorful phrases while driving. For those of you that don't have road rage (you're all lying, by the way) here are 10 of my biggest annoyances while out on the open road.

10. Sunday Drivers

You know them. Those little old people that drive 10 miles below the speed limit because they can take their sweet time going everywhere because they are retired and have zero plans. Listen here, Magnolia, I have places to be and you need to get the heck out my way.

9. Not Using Turn Signals in Parking Lots

I understand that it's a parking lot, but for real, you still need to indicate which flipping direction you are going.

8. Constantly Braking for NO Reason

I mean, I understand if there is something darting in front of you and you need to brake, or perhaps you are stopping soon, but if you are just doing it because you don't know how to monitor your speed or the flow of traffic then for the love of all that is holy get off the road.

7. Speeding Up After I Pass You

Oh, looky here Alice, we finally found the gas pedal. Now don't ride my bumper because I finally passed you after following you for 3 miles of you going 35 in a 50.

6. Slowing Down After Passing Me

I'm already speeding, but go ahead and feel the need to pass me. Don't slow down as soon as you get ahead of me. You're tacky and I hate you.

5. Bike Riders That Take Up the Whole Lane

Yeah, yeah, I know you can't ride on the side walk, but do you have to ride that thing in the middle of the lane? I'm pretty sure my big car will beat your tiny bike any day so MOOOOOOOOOVE.

4. People Who Cut Over Three Lanes of Traffic Because They Made A Last Minute Decision

Okay, I need to merge on the highway in about half a mile so I should stay in the far right lane, but oh wait, here comes Danny Dingleberry crossing over three lanes of traffic to do the same thing. Perhaps you should know where you're going before you get in your vehicle.

3. People Who Drive Slow in the Fast Lane

Guys, there are two lanes on the highway for a reason. If you want to drive at or below the posted speed limit then please pick the appropriate lane. I am trying to forge a trail going 85 on the highway so don't kill my vibe.

2. Coming to a Complete Stop to Turn

It's not actually necessary. You CAN turn without stopping your entire vehicle. If you have to come to a complete stop I am 100% questioning how you got your license.

1. Slamming on the Brakes and THEN Turning Your Turn Signal On

There's this nifty little lever and it has the ability to indicate which direction your vehicle is going to be turning. You should use that prior to slowing down your vehicle to warn the people behind you that you are turning. If you don't, there is a huge chance that I am going to flip you off.


This is by no means an all inclusive list and I am positive I missed things that drive me nuts that people do. As always, drive safe, don't text and drive, and move over for emergency service vehicles.

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.
