Life's Simple Pleasures

Sitting In The Car Listening To The Radio
Insidesocal

We've all had those days where we needed a well deserved pause from life. Regardless of what we choose to believe, people break down at times. Even the strong ones have, they've just learned to hide it better.

I experienced one of these days at work. My brain was a mush and my body was worn like old clothes. I knew it was time to withdraw myself from any type of social contact. I needed to be sitting in that car listening to that radio at midnight.

I didn't punch walls, or curse at the never ending sky. I simply sat and listened to the lyrics, feeling the vibrations of the car. It was free therapy from the universe. Sometimes the lyrics hit hard like a pound of thick red bricks. I felt every word at a personal level. I just imagined what that person who wrote the lyrics was feeling at that exact moment. The vulnerability that they must have felt when that pen touched that paper.

When we feel suffocated by all the pollution coming from people's mouths, whenever our body is on the brink of calling it quits, what do you do? Some of us cry or see the bottom of a whiskey bottle, as for me, I like to sit in that car listening to that radio!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
