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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
