11 Thoughts While Driving On I-75

I-75 is always under construction.

This is of the worst parts about BG. The drivers can't drive and the semi trucks want to run us over. People either speed or go slow and you never know if you're going to get stuck in traffic. There's no avoiding it, we all have to drive on it at least once in our four years here.

1. "Where are the construction people?"

I've never actually seen people working on I-75. It's like they set up the road blocks and lane shifts and then never come back.

2. "Feel free to drive faster."

The speed limit is 60 and you think that it's smart to go 40? You're almost as bad as the semi trucks.

3. "You drive a minivan, not a Bugatti."

I'm already going over the speed limit and I don't know what you want from me. Tailgating me isn't going to help your situation and you're going to hit someone in your soccer mom van. You are not cool.

4. "Left lane only, semi trucks."

Can these drivers read? The signs definitely say trucks use left lane. Most of the time, you can get over to the left lane. Feel free to do that because you're screwing over the people who are getting on 75.

5. "Nice turn signal."

Just because I can see you moving into the lane, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't use the handy device that lets other people know.

6. "If you don't go to BG, then get out of my way."

Everyone should stay out of the right lane unless they're going to BG. That way, we don't have to get caught in traffic. I got stuck five miles from BG for two hours once because people suck.

7. "How are you texting right now?"

I'm just going to assume you have a death wish. Texting and driving on this road is beyond dangerous.

8. "Stay in your lane!"

I would prefer not to get in an accident, so please stay in your lane. They're those white dotted lines on the road. It's not rocket science, people.

9. "Who taught you how to drive?"

Did you fail your driving test three times as well? Maybe you should retake your driving test because you, sir, certainly cannot drive and you should not be allowed on the road.

10. "How can this entire highway be under construction?"

Whose bright idea was it to put the entire highway under construction? What are you even fixing?

11. "Toledo still sucks."

This is what connects to Toledo. So, I-75 sucks, but not as much as Toledo.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
