Do You Have Road Rage For These Reasons?
12 News

Most people wouldn't understand that yes, teenagers have terrible road-rage as well, maybe even a little worse sometimes.

I probably shouldn't have as much road-rage as I do, but when you live in South Carolina, you see all reasons for why you have terrible road-rage. More of it comes from the pure stupidity of people not paying a split of attention to anything but themselves.

Or even that fact that everyone finds the need to be on their phone all the sudden. First, off people, your brain does not have enough reaction time to look down at your phone for x amount of seconds then back on the road and still know what is going on. If your phone means that much to you, PULL OVER.

Being a commuting student, I spend a lot of time on the road and I see all sorts of stupid. From the smallest things as not using a blinker when switching lanes, and yes I say blinker, I am from the North. To cut me off last second where there is no space to even come close to getting between me and someone else.

Now, if you have a blinker on, I may just leave some space for you to get over, but until then, I will continue to follow a safe distance to the car in front so you can't come over. Until then though, please don't even bother trying me, personally.

Something else that really gets me, is the fact the people are willing to get so close to me when DRIVING that I can't see a single bit of the front of their car. At that point, they're practically in your back seat because of how close they feel they must be to you. I may be that person that taps the break so slightly that it doesn't change my speed, it's just a warning of hey, please back up and don't hit me.

Another thing, if you're going to be going under the speed GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE. That's very bad to go slow, so move over before you get in a car accident because you're going so slow.

One of my big things the bothers me is when people are driving at night without their headlights on. That doesn't even make sense how that is possible-- most cars don't have day running lights that are bright enough to see what's in front of you.

Also, how are you able to see anything without the inside of your car lighting up? I know that your dash is not lit up because that's what turns on when you turn your headlights turn on at night. Oh, my, what a shocker.

Like, how do you even drive, you can't see the road without headlights. I've attempted to drive without headlights on in my neighborhood late at night and couldn't do it. Was 100% impossible, and I have LED daylights. Not even those were strong enough, not to mention I couldn't see anything on my dash.

If you're going to drive, and you don't want to wreck or anything, drive safe and smart, people. Be responsible, look both ways, use your blinker and get off your phone.

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.
