We detest the person who gave them their license.

10 People That Cause Road Rage

1. People who don't use their blinker.

These people amaze me. They can't flick their left hand up or down to indicate that they're about to turn or switch lanes but they can flip me off when I'm confused as to what they're trying to do. Makes sense... Not.


2. People who don't wave.

Ungrateful. Only word to describe these individuals. I slowed down so they could get over. I didn't have to do that but I decided to out of the goodness of my heart. Then they go and decide not to wave. These are sucky people that don't appreciate what has been given to them so I just go on ahead and wave for them so maybe they'll learn their lesson and pick up on common courtesy.


3. People who go the speed limit in the passing lane.

I am trying to go somewhere, I don't have time for the people that go the speed limit. They really need to get over if they're too afraid to put their foot on the gas pedal because the ten cars that are impatiently driving behind them sure as hell aren't. If you can't handle a little speed, stay out of the fast lane.


4. People who won't let you pass them.

This is the same idiot that was just going the speed limit in the passing lane. So I get over, since clearly they have no intention of doing so, and I make a move to pass them and what do they do? They discover how to accelerate!

5. People who stop at yellow lights.

Honestly, there is a special place in hell for these people. Yellow isn't red, it means watch out red is coming, not stop. So I'm really confused as to why they feel the need to stop. Do they enjoy waiting at lights? Because I can assure you I do not enjoy waiting at lights and would like to continue on with my day.


6. People who throw trash out of windows.

They want to kill me. Clearly that is their intent if they're throwing their trash out the window as I am right behind them. First, that's not good for the earth. Second, do they not see the cars right behind them!?


7. People who don't know how to work four way stops.

I have almost been hit so many times because people have no clue how to wait their turn. I pull up to the stop sign, let the other three cars go because I'm not the idiot, I know the rules, and then some car accelerates as I am and almost hits me in the side. Every time I scream I will sue. Every. Damn. Time. Do they not know how to wait their turn? Is this a concept so foreign and was not taught in kindergarten?


8. Anyone driving in a roundabout.

Roundabouts are the creation of insurance because no one seems to know how to work them or even why they even exist. All they're good for is cars getting into wrecks. Any car driving in a roundabout when I am enrages me because the whole situation stresses me out.


9. People that honk the second the light turns green.

I'm an impatient person, I get it, we've all got somewhere to be instead of waiting at a red light. However, the people that start honking their horns the very second the light turns green put a whole new definition to the word 'impatient.' The light literally just turned green. How would it even be possible for me to be moving? Should I have some sort of intuition as to when the light is going to change? No.


10. People on motorcycles that decide to lane split.

These people do not value their lives nor do they have any concept of size. A car is a lot bigger than a motorcycle. People in cars also have seat belts and aren't balancing. Why they feel the need to sneak up and pass a car is unknown to me. The first time this happened to me I almost had a heart attack because I was trying to get over and had no idea a moron was right there. Now I just get pissed.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
