5 Reasons To Watch The Daytona 500
Senior Airman Eileen Meier

The Daytona 500 starts the beginning of the 2018 NASCAR season, and here are five reasons why this event will be even more exciting than it has ever been.

1) Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be the Grand Marshal

Can I get a Dale Yeah?!

2) The Rookies

Will Chase Elliott get his first win? How will Bubba Wallace do? Will they all wreck? I can't wait to watch!

3) The History

Daytona is almost at it's 60 year mark, so many greats have won there, such as, Junior Johnson, Richard Petty, Cale Yarbrough, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. The list of legends just go on and on.

4) Wrecks

If you like those kind of races, Daytona is known for "the big one" along with Talladega.

5) To Watch Danica Patrick Before She Retires

Danica Patrick will run the Daytona 500 and Indy 500 before she sets to retire in 2018. Patrick has done fairly well at Daytona, she won the pole in 2013, led five laps and finished eighth.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
