11 Things you Learn When you Commute

Don't Miss the Bus
northernsound

I'm used to having a car to take me to point A to B when ever I wish, but now I am in a new city without my dear car and I have to rely on alternative forms of transportation. As my feet will only take me so far, I've had to learn the ways of public transportation. So there are a few things everyone stuck on the literal struggle bus know.

1. It's a rough ride

Seriously though, hold on to those rails and brace yourself for speed bumps, curbs, sharp turns and sudden stops.

2. There's always that one guy that no one wants to sit with

Sometimes it's for the best when no one want's to sit with you.

3. It can get pretty crowded

Ugghhhh so many people in my bubble!

4. The bus doesn't stop

Pedestrians beware

5. Don't be late

The bus waits for no one

6. It's a great place to listen to music

For any commute whether it's on foot, the car or the bus, I need my music to get me ready for the day

7. There's always one obnoxious person on the phone

This is why you need headphones

8. You can always stare out the window when you're bored.

You can look at the scenery or just think about life.

9. Double deckers always have the best view

If you have a choice between sitting on the main level or upstairs, you go upstairs.

10. The bus is a germ sanctuary.

Always bring hand sanitizer when you travel

11. Keep track of bus routes

It's a crazy system but it's pretty satisfying when you figure it out.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
