7 Things Drivers Do That Need To Be Outlawed On The Road, Full Stop

Wrote this after spending the first half of my summer driving 30 minutes to work and back

Disclaimer: I am not a cop. These may be laws. These may not be laws. I don't know. Either way, they should be enforced more or be turned into laws.

1. Cruising in the left lane

Nope. Don't do it. If there is nobody around you, get your car back into the right lane. If there is someone clearly trying to pass you in the left lane, get your car into the right lane and stay there. Shoutout to that one cop who pulled someone over for holding up 20 cars in the left lane.

2. Breaking before getting into a turn lane

Ok I do realize sometimes you have to, but if there's enough room to start breaking after you have merged into a turn lane, please do! Don't start breaking on the highway or road because then you slow everyone else down. And it's kind of dangerous.

3. Not using a blinker

I don't even have to explain this. The only exception would be if there was nobody around you.

4. Driving under the speed limit

No one likes to get stuck behind a driver who refuses to drive as fast as the speed limit.

5. Knowing a two lane road turns into one, then cutting everyone off

If you know a two lane road is going to be a one lane road, don't be a jerk and speed all the way to where it merges into one and cut off everyone.

6. Driving with two feet

If your brake lights are on... while you are driving full speed... you clearly need to just sell your car because you don't know how to drive.

7. Texting and driving

If you can't go an entire drive to wherever without picking up your phone, you have an addiction to your phone. Stop. Texting. And. Driving.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
