One Car, Two Car, Red Car, Blue Car

From driving slow to dancing in the car, we all see these drivers on the road.

Seat laid back, music up and windows down — that's the only way to drive in the summer. However, while you're driving your way on the road, there are millions of others who drive their own way. Chances are more than half of these other drivers will get in your way and get on your nerves too. Listed below are the types of drivers I'm sure everyone experiences while driving:

1. The Jack that wants to drive slow in the fast Lane

I can't even begin to describe how irritating this is! I get that sometimes the fast lane is more open sometimes, but it's because people who are in it drive — you guessed it — fast!

2. Jack's cousin who doesn't like to use their blinker (turn signal).

How hard is it to pull the lever and signal whether you're turning or merging to the left or the right? Seriously, using these saves lives. It may not be from an actual wreck, but from a pissed off driver that you probably made slam the brakes to allow for your forced entry into the lane.

3. The dancing driver

Sorry, not sorry, because this is totally me. If there's music playing, chances are I'm dancing. I'm also probably speeding. Sorry, Mom! Thank goodness for cruise control, right?

4. The person using their phone.

It's not just talking on the phone or texting anymore. With the technology we have today, it's very common to see people everywhere looking at Facebook, Twitter or trying out a new filter on Snapchat. In all seriousness, don't do any of this. Value not just your own safety, but value others' as well, and don't use your phone while driving. Pick a radio, Pandora or Spotify station and just stick to that until you are able to change it safely.

5. The mad mama

This is one driver I'm sure everyone can relate to. These drivers are easy to pick out because you see one hand on the wheel and half her body turned toward the back with her mouth open. When my sister and I were young, our mother didn't bother turning around. She just counted to three, and if we weren't acting right by the time she got to three, she brought a wooden spoon out and started flailing it in the back trying to connect it to our legs.

6. The tailgater

To the car riding my butt,

I see you riding right up on me. No I am not going to drive any faster. If anything I'll start driving slower.

7. The grandma driver

Bless their heart, but this is the kind of driver that makes you feel bad when you get mad at them for driving how they do. These drivers have their blinker on for at least five miles before they actually turn. Or if they stop at a red light and they go over the line, they'll be sure to put it in reverse to back up. I always seem to run into the grandma or grandpa driver when I'm already running late.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
