36 Thoughts You May Have While Taking the Metro

If you live in the DMV you all have had this struggle ....trying to ride the metro. Between construction and delays it has become a rather unpredictable form of transportation. So for all of you who ride the metro, I feel your pain! These are just some of thoughts you may have had, I know I have!

1. Okay do I have my smart trip? I am not paying two extra dollars again because I forgot it at home, please tell me I remembered it.

2. Got it, thank goodness.

3. Alright! How much money do I have on this thing? 5 dollars? I can totally make it on that.

4. looks at time Fuck, it's peak hours, just great. So I can't make it on 5 dollars, this is affordable how?

5. Well, I guess I have to put more money on my card.

6. ...and this is only for getting there...

7. It better not be peak hours when I leave...

8. I will leave early to avoid peak hours, I'm not paying that on the way back...I am not made of money... Affordable way to travel, yeah right.

9. Oh no! It's coming.

AFTER going through the barriers with your smart trip, trying to get past people who are walking slow on the stairs/escalator

10. Missed it, well it's okay! They're supposed to run every 5 or 10 minutes!

11. Wait... Does that say a 40 minute wait....

12. CONSTRUCTION?!?! Again?!?!

13. ... But really, again? When does it end?

14. ...and all the benches are taken so I guess I'll be standing.

15. At least I have my phone for some music...

16. ....wait. This station is underground, no Pandora, there goes that idea.

17. ...I guess I can play that stacker game

*40 minutes later*

18. It's here! Finally!

19. okay! I gotta place myself correctly!

20. I don't want to be with the crowd.

21. ...okay move away from the people towards where the end of the train will be. There are more seats!

22. Okay, here we go...HOLD YOUR GROUND, the stampede of people will be coming out shortly.

23. Gosh, how many people can fit on one of these?

24. Nevermind, have your eye on the prize! Move quickly in!

25. Oh no, there are more people than I thought, where are the open seats?!?!

26. Eureka! Found one! Now I can play that game on the train, time will go by a little faster at least.

27. ....man there's a lady with a baby... I guess it wouldn't kill me to stand some more.

28. So much for that game...just 20 more minutes I can do it.

29. train starts moving oh yup,

I should have definitely held onto the pole thing

30. why is this person staring at me? Can you not? I'm just trying to ride the metro in peace.

31. okay avert your eyes, make no eye contact. Stay low until your stop.

*20 minutes later*

32. FINALLY! I made it....

33. I'm late but I'm here

34. oh... This escalator is a lot bigger than I remember...just stare at your shoes

35. okay! I'm above ground, now I've really made it...My 40 minute trip...yeah turned into an hour and a half...

36. ...and I have to do it on the way back...great

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

It's so rude that we have finals.

1. When you look at your finals schedule and become immediately overwhelmed:

2. When your professor says that the final is only going to be short answer questions:

3. When you text your parents to tell them that you're going to have a mental breakdown and drop out of college and they're just like:

4. When you're trying to study with friends, but then you realize that you haven't gotten anything done:

5. Then you just end up going on your phone.

6. When you're two weeks away from finals and your professor tells you that you should probably start studying now:

7. When you sit down to take your final and the first question hits you like:

8. When you start the practice problems and you're just like:

9. When you're in your final and find a question that you actually know the answer to:

10. When that one annoying kid in your class says that the final was super easy and they aced it:

11. When you come back from your 7:30 a.m. final and crash:

12. When your professor tries to teach you new material a week before the final:

13. When you decide to eat away the pain that is finals week by ordering massive amounts of food:

14. Filling out course evaluations for that one difficult professor like:

15. When it's right before your first final and you're just like:

16. When your professor tells that you the final is cumulative:

17. When the kid next to you keeps looking over at your test:

18. Looking back on the outfits that you wore during finals week like:

19. When it's been two hours and you've only gotten through five notecards:

20. When you finally make it to the end of the week:
