Drive Like You Mean It.

A Public Service Announcement to The Slow Drivers of The World

Drive Like You Mean It.

Driving sucks, because other people suck at it and us innocent speeders pay the price. After my painfully long exposure to a sloth of a driver on the way back from work today, I thought I'd give all of you slow drivers a little refresher course on driving in the real world.

If you are behind the wheel of a car going down a road with one lane, make sure you are aware of the speed limit, and if you are truly going that fast. Yeah yeah, I know it says "limit", and technically gives you a choice of going up to that speed, but you are not the only person on that road. It turns out other people also have their own lives they need to get to, some more urgently than you. So keep that in mind

You also tend not to make yellow lights if you are only going the speed limit, and that is a type of frustration even the most stringent rule follower will cringe at.

Once you hopefully take my advice, you will notice you are not getting tailed as much by strange cars, and the angry looks from people as they finally get a chance to pass will decrease rapidly.

One or two minutes might not seem like a big deal to you and your slow moving car but you don't know about the person who could be getting pretty mad sitting behind you.

Driving effects everyone so knock it off and drive the limit (Or slightly over). I'd like to think that adorable old lady in front of me tonight read this article, and she will take this to heart, because nobody feels good about themselves whilst cursing out a grandparent.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
