10 Things That Will Happen Before I-44 Construction Is Done

Google

If you live in or near St. Louis, Missouri, you know how bad I-44 traffic is due to road construction. I have been driving for almost 5 years, and I regularly have to drive that interstate. When I finally think they are done with construction, they start a new project on the same roads they just finished. I-44 is one of the worst interstates to drive in St. Louis because of the road construction, it's not as bad as I-270 during rush hour, but it's pretty close sometimes.

Since I have always had to deal with driving that interstate with all the road construction, I have decided to put a list together of things that will happen before they are finally done with all the road work.

1. IPhone 8 will be coming out

Should be coming out sometime in 2017!

2. Toy Story Land in Disney World will be finished

There's no official date set yet, but should be opening within the next few years!

3. Me graduating college

Hoping to graduate by 2019.

4. Trump presidency will be over

Unless he tries to go for another 4 years, a new president will be named in 2020, and Trump will be out of office by early 2021.

5. Me having kids

Not really looking to have kids within the next few years, unless something happens. But I know I'll have kids before I-44 construction is done.

6. College will change

Could become more online base instead of going to classrooms. This will help you work a full-time job or take care of your children,etc.

7. Me becoming a grandparent

Hopefully this won't happen for another 30 years, but It will still happen before I-44 is done.

8. Someone will find Waldo

People have been looking since 1987, and no one has yet found him.

9. Flying cars

Heck, we won't even need roads by the time I-44 is done.

10. Cubs winning the World Series

It'll take another 108 years, but it is possible for them too win again before I can drive on I-44 without any issues.

You can never trust that Missouri is ever done with I-44 construction, but you can believe that most of things will happen before they are done. I know road construction is important, and creates many jobs, but it doesn't mean it's not a pain in my butt when I'm trying to get to work. Best of luck to everyone on their travels.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
