28 Things People Think When Stuck In Traffic

Giphy.com

It happens to the best of us. You're minding your own business and driving like a normal person on the highway and then you see it. Stopped cars as far as the eye can see. You were having such a good day until you had to spend an hour in traffic for no good reason. If you're anything like me, your thoughts probably go a little bit like this....

1. Brake-happy people have a special place in hell.

2. Why aren't you moving?! There's a mile of space in between you and the other car!

3. Man I wish I could use my AC without my car overheating during the summer!

4. Rubberneckers belong next to the brake-happy people in hell.

5. Maybe by some miracle, I'll get to work on time today.

6. Jesus, now would be a good time for you to come.

7. Maybe if I stay at work until after 6 p.m., I'll avoid traffic.

8. It's been 30 minutes and I've moved 2 miles. This is why America is falling apart.

9. Yes, my lane is moving! Good job guys! Teamwork! Let's go! No, don't stop! Why are we slowing down again? NO!

10. LEARN HOW TO MERGE WITHOUT STOPPING!!

11. Obviously you didn't buy the turn signal package when you bought your car, did you?

12. Why...whyyyyyy.....Why are you slowing DOWN?!?

13. I'm so glad you discovered your blinker, but I'm not letting you over.

14. Does my dog count as a second passenger so I can use the HOV lane?

15. Oh no you don't, minivan. I've been waiting to exit for 15 minutes, you get in line and wait like the rest of us.

16. Why are you in the fast lane if you're going to go under the speed limit?

17. For the love of Pete people, it's just a car stopped on the side of the highway. GO!

18. Oh yes, of course I left space in between me and the car in front of me just so your monstrosity of an SUV could merge in front of me. You're welcome.

19. Stop. Riding. Your. Brakes.

20. Just gotta make it past exit 102 and I can finally go over ten mph.

21. This is why people become hermits.

22. Do people know how to take a turn going more than 20 mph?!? STOP SLOWING DOWN!

23. Get off your phone, "Daddy's Little Angel" or you'll become a real one in about five seconds.

24. Why is a freaking semi in the fast lane?

25. At least my calves are getting a good workout.

26. LET ME GET OVER, JERK!

27. There was traffic because of THAT?!?

28. I'm moving to Antarctica.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
