The Real Issue With Driving today

We both know that this is just a joke

The Real Issue With Driving today

The main fear most of our moms have these days if whether her little baby will be stupid enough to get behind the wheel of a car after having shotgunned a few beers in the bathroom of his/her best friend. I mean, college is an innocent time and for a lot of us, a time to develop ourselves and find out who we are outside of the shelter of our home.

In comes alcohol, a nectar of sorts. When all those times taking spoonfuls of whiskey and brandy when we had the sniffles wasn't enough, now we got Bud Light and of course, Bud Light Lime, not to mention the handles upon handles of vodka we buy for the "party" that our friend is throwing. So you hop in that Toyota your parents bought you a couple years ago, trying to show off to the girl that you've been "talking to" and head over to the party, where somewhere around 10 to 12 people show up. A few hours go by, you're drunk and now comes the biggest question of all, how am I going to get home.

In 2013, 31% of fatal car accidents in the United States had to do with drunk driving, whether it may have been because of swerving into other lanes or hitting a barricade. But as you can see on the number, a whopping 69% of accidents come from sober driving. So you tell me, what’s really the problem here?

When you think about it, drunk driving is fun, the rush you get having everything blurred in front of you, and hey, it may be hard at first, but like everything, with practice it gets easier. Pretty soon after enough practice a person will have enough ability to dodge all those sober drivers driving people home or driving themselves that clearly account for 69% of this country’s accidents. Why not make driving a little more fun and challenging, numbers don’t lie and clearly sober drivers are out causing more problems on the road than us drunk drivers.

If you want to experience a thrill that gives you solace as well as excitement, nothing is more stimulating than the blurred vision and slurred words when you’re driving a car full of people that are drunk and need to get home. You jump a few lanes and oh, there’s sirens behind you. But is that such a bad thing, sure you go to jail and sure you have it on your record but who cares? You just got a pretty sweet place to sleep for the night and you can pee right next to your bed essentially, I mean isn’t that the dream.

Girls will think you’re attractive too. Stumbling around at parties and then reaching for your keys, what could be more attractive than that? Girls will love the sight of you essentially falling down the stairs, not even being able to walk properly and then getting behind the wheel of a car that your parents paid for. They’ll totally hook up with you that same night if you aren’t the type that enjoys driving into trees and having AAA come and pick you up, granted you or any of them survive.

So the moral of the story here is, alcohol is a gift, bestowed to us by the Gods and what could be more fun than driving drunk.

And for everyone that didn’t understand this, this is purely satirical.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
