14 Thoughts We All Have While Driving In The Snow
Pexel

There is nothing better than waking up for a brand new day, pulling open the curtains, and realizing that it is a snow storm and you have places to be. You can't avoid it. It's life. It's winter. THIS IS SNOW DRIVING.


1. *Pulls out of driveway. "Hey! This isn't too bad!"


There's no traffic! The road is plowed! And the snow is really pretty! This is going to be a great driving experience!


2. That moment when you get onto the highway and it's actually not that great.


Okay! So just kidding! The roads lied! This is actually bad!


3. "So maybe I should just turn around, you know?"


If you just turn around you can go home to your nice warm bed!


4. "Nah! I bet a few miles up the road will be more clear! All these 4x4 trucks are doing just fine!"


When you are passing 4x4 trucks and you are the only sedan, there is a problem.


5. The snow literally feels like this.



The snow is literally hitting the windshield, you can't see through the wipers, and it fees like some low-budget Sci-Fi movie from the $1 bin of Kmart.


6. The light turns red and ABS kicks in and you don't think you are going to stop.


Hmmmmm. That felt like it could have been expensive.


7. "Please don't let me die. Please don't let me die in the snow going 5 mph!"


I WANT TO LIVE. I DON'T HAVE LIFE INSURANCE!


8. When you pass snow plows and they aren't even plowing but there is 6 inches of snow on the ground and you are trying to figure out what your tax dollars are actually funding.


So if my tax dollars fund the city and the city isn't plowing... then what exactly does my tax money fund?


9. *Watching a rear-wheel drive muscle car try to go through an intersection.




Sometimes we just have to root for each other! "Rock it back and forth! Put it in reverse, put it in drive!"


10. How it feels being unable to see the lane markings.


But still not hitting the car next to you takes skills.



11. Being a few miles away from your destination but traffic is stopped and you kinda just feel like walking the rest of the way.



But then again, you'd have to walk in the snow. BUT I CAN LITERALLY SEE THE PLACE I NEED TO BE.


12. Arriving at your destination and finding that the entrance and parking lot are not plowed yet.


So we are supposed to drift in here or what?


13. Just being excited to be alive after driving in snow, getting passed by trucks, and probably almost dying a few times.



We survived! We made it!


14. But then you remember that in a few hours you are going to have to leave... and that means driving in the snow. AGAIN.



*incoherently crying.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
