9 Things We All Hate About Driving
Huffington Post

There are some things about driving a car that really suck. They just can't be avoided. Here is an ultra-relatable list of just nine of those things we all hate about driving.

1. The 18 seagulls that live in your car.

Those 18 seagulls that flock in your car every time you hop in- where do they come from, and why are they there? We don't know, but we do know they're annoying as hell.

2. How the tired pop off every other mile and you have to get out of the car and chase them down.

It happens all the time; the tires of your car just shooting off into the abyss. We don't have time to chase down all four tires in the middle of the Kennedy! #rt if you know what I'm talking about!

3. The GPS voice harshly berating your driving choices.

It's so mean. "Take a left up here, asshat" "It'll take 20 minutes of your worthless life for you to get to work in this traffic" "You can never satisfy your wife, Brian" I mean, jeez! Who does it think it is?

4. The tiny steering wheel.

We've all wondered it before: why is the steering wheel in every car so tiny? It's like a dime in my monstrous hands. You would think car companies know to make steering wheels big enough for our hands.

5. How every time you change gears, the car moans lustily.

It's creepy. Does the car enjoy it? It makes me uncomfortable.

6. The HIV risk.

The HIV risk we all take while sitting behind the wheel is too much. Something must be done to eradicate HIV. Donate here.

7. Regis Philbin constantly talking your ear off from the backseat.

Regis Philbin is a famed and terrific comedic legend, but does he ever shut up? When he sits in the backseat telling me all about the bullshit he's done in his career, it's too much for me to take. He's a great guy, but he doesn't need to sit in the backseat of my car and talk for my entire drive to Texas and back.

8. How there are so many pedals.

It's scary. I can't keep track of them all and it stresses me out. Car companies should listen to the people and decrease the number of pedals to maybe one, one half.

9. Submitting a driving plan before being cleared to go to the supermarket.

I don't have time to write out a full plan of how I intend to get to the supermarket to buy my daughter her gummy vitamins every Sunday. It's irritating. Who even reads and clears them?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
