16 Thoughts When Driving in Terrible Weather

We've all been through a time when we've had to drive in terrible weather and, needless to say, it's a terrifying experience (at least for a wimpy driver like myself). Here are some of the many thoughts I have when driving in these conditions.

Fog

1. Why does fog exist? Like, "Hello, fog, you're being rude and blocking my view. Please exit!"

2. Now I can't even tell if I'm driving up or downhill because I CAN'T SEE!

3. Shoutout to the inventor of the curve signs, because without them I would have flown right into the ditch just now.

4. I feel like I could actually cut this fog with a knife, which makes me want to hyperventilate even more.

Ice

5. I have literally slid through three stop signs, but it's fine. Totally fine. Who needs brakes?

6. How am I in four-wheel drive and still spinning out?

7. I want to know how people could ever be on the show Ice Road Truckers. Being on that show would definitely give me a heart attack.

8. Why is this person doing 60 mph right now? I can see you fishtailing around over there. Better not get us both killed or I'm going to haunt you, even in the afterlife.

Snow

9. I feel betrayed by you snow. You look so pretty, but you're such a nuisance.

10. If this snow melts and then freezes my doors shut I'm going to protest. #StopIcyDoors2017.

11. Could somebody please come plow this road? Driving through more than six inches of snow is starting to get really old.

12.Yet again what if they plow the road and then compact it down into ice? That would be even worse. Never mind, you do you plows.

Rain

13. I know rain is a necessary evil and everything, but does it really have to rain this hard? I get it, rain, you want to hydrate the earth, but just slow down.

14. My windshield wipers can't even keep up with this anymore. You're letting me down wipers.

15. Yay an overpass is coming up so the rain will stop for 0.2 seconds. Then that overpass will go away and I'll be sad all over again.

16. I better not hydroplane. No ma'am, not today.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
