Inventors have finally had a monumental breakthrough in a project designed to prevent accidents and most importantly, save lives. This secret project has taken time, and now inventors are just worried about making sure that all members of society are capable of handling this new invention. While most cars have been outfitted with this invention, studies show that some are still without, as the use of the invention has never been documented in these cars. Below, we'll break down this invention, where to find it, and how to use it.

What is it?

Now that it's been released, we can confirm that inventors are calling it a "Turn Signal," or a "blinker." They deemed the invention by the name of the action that it does. It signals a turn, as well as blinks when in use.

Where can you find this invention?

Conveniently, it's placed right next to your steering wheel! Now, if you're driving safely, or driving at all, this invention is merely inches away, ready for your use!

How do you use it?

Since it's so close to the steering wheel, it's designed to have an easy movement to activate it. With ease, you either push the lever up, or you push it down. You push it up when you're in the act of turning right - the same motion that the steering wheel makes. You push it down when turning left, again, the same motion as the steering wheel. Inventors ask that you please use this signal anytime you are turning, changing lanes, or sitting in an intersection where people have no idea which direction you're heading.

Next time you get behind the wheel of your car, take a look around your steering wheel. You might just find a lever for your blinker!

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
