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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
