15 Annoying Things People Do While Driving On The Highway

Bad drivers are everywhere you turn. You'll catch people on their phone, swerving back and forth between lanes, pulling out in front of you, etc. I could write about all of the stupid things people do while driving, but I'm afraid that article would never end. So here's a few annoying things that people do specifically while they're driving on the highway:

1. Drive slow in the passing line.

Or just driving in the passing lane for fun. It’s called the ‘passing’ lane for a reason!

2. Drive the same speed as the person next to them on a two lane highway.

Preventing you from getting around and causing a traffic build-up.

3. Slow down to 10 mph under the speed limit when seeing a cop.

Isn’t that a little more suspicious than if you’re going five over?

4. Pass you and then slow down once they’re in front of you.

Right because that makes a lot of sense.

5. When trucks take 5 minutes to pass each other.

OK maybe it’s more like one minute but it sure feels like five.

6. Talk/text on their phone and don’t pay attention to the road.

This one is pretty self explanatory. Just don’t do it.

7. Don’t use their turn signal when switching lanes.

Sure you can swerve right in front of me without a warning. I love that!

8. Jump multiple lanes at a time.

First of all, this is illegal. Second of all, it’s just plain annoying.

9. Try to fit into the half-car-length space between you and the person in front of you.

Thank you, now I have to slam on my breaks to let you in all because you couldn’t be patient and wait for me to pass.

10. Tailgate you but then don’t pass you when you get over to let them.

If you’re going to ride my butt, I’m going to assume you want to pass me. So when I get over, please don’t continue to follow two feet behind me.

11. Try to pass you on the right when you’re in a line of traffic already trying to pass someone else.

I always wonder, “Where do you think you’re going to go?”

12. Rush to the front and try to squeeze ahead of everyone else when there’s a closed lane ahead.

You, my friend, are the driver that everyone else hates.

13. Then there’s the idiot who actually let them in.

And you are not much better.

14. Speed up and slow down so that you end up passing them 5+ times all while you have your cruise control on.

I’ll never understand how some people can be so inconsistent with their driving.

15. Creep over your already-tight lane in construction zones.

Yes, I understand that it’s a tight squeeze and you barely have room, but neither do I and you are making it much worse.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
