Life of a Speed Demon

Life of a Speed Demon

There are many violent crashes on many highways and during these times many people put safety behind their minds. While grabbing air and speed, the feverish pitch of just being free and hitting the pavement till your face melts off is always classic James Dean.

You can stop shy of delivering our last dance of youth but generally, burning rubber plus seeing this as a last-ditch effort before getting to old age is quite common. They prosper and look up to idols preferably close ones, like dad? You would smile at the fact that you are almost or mostly like your dad while you are driving.

It is always wise to know the rules of the road. Sometimes though it doesn’t feel like it pertains to everyone. You cannot lie that being a speed demon is a mash-up of inspiration and idolization. It is tempting to go as fast as you can. You feel like it is always the best for you, but there are dangers in being a speed demon, you can get hurt or worse die.

The lasting feeling of adrenaline and a rush of blood to the head is observed as menacing but very addicting, but in the end slowing down and being relaxed is what everyone does on the road. Yes expressing good common sense is achievable. Suddenly, you find yourself being respectful. This is what we learned naturally when we took our first driving lesson at age 16.

If speed demons stop obsessing over speed, there would be no daredevils and no plea for abnormality. In fact, the differences between a speed demon and a regular driver can only be imagined in our minds as a better choice because you drive without fear. However, living bolder is tempting. Starting in our youth, when we build a cloud of candy and who doesn’t like the taste of candy? Everyone cannot shake a sweet tooth, just like the taste for speed.

With the Indy 500 soon on its way, we can just imagine what it is like to be a speed demon and know that just by being an observer is just as exciting as feeling that adrenaline rush while watching them. You cannot avoid the fact though that living the life of a race car driver is so unchangeable and permanent.

Time seems to be right for a budding speed demon and the love for cars will not change too. It is like coming closer to heaven, when you achieve speed. A more pronounced way to be is to be a speed demon in your head. Never plunging too deep into the dark side. Life can be strange. The only times we can run free is in our dreams. The life of a speed demon will always foster good thoughts and unchaotic dreams.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
