6 Different Types of Bad Drivers
Alyssa Popolizio

After a long six-hour drive by myself I had a lot of time to observe other cars. I noticed the way that some cars stay in the first lane the whole ride, or how some drivers were able to eat and drive and only swerve their car around a few times. I’ve come up with 6 different types of drivers that you always see on the road.

1. The Speed Limiter

The speed limiter is someone that goes exactly the speed limit every single time they drive. They can usually be found in the first lane on the highway and right in front of your car every time you’re running late for something.

2. The Multi-Tasker

The multi-tasker is usually the type of person that you see swerving around their lane and sometimes ever coming off the road. No they’re not drunk, they’re just eating or texting or basically doing anything other than focusing on the road.

3. The Rusher

You’ll find the rusher either passing you on a back road, cutting you off on the highway, or pulled over by a cop (usually in that order too). They can be found in some type of expensive sports car that they brag to their friends about every time they see them.

4. The Honker

Let’s establish first hand that the honker has some serious road rage. Any little thing can set these people off. As soon as the light turns green you better start driving or you’re about to get an earful from these mad men.

5. The Grandparent(er)

These people are a lot like the speed limiter except they are about ten times worse. They’re the people that are going 30 in a 45, and when you pass them, and you are about to flip them a certain bird, you can’t help but feel bad because they’re old and can’t really help it.

(They are not to be confused with the first-timer, who's fresh from the DMV and who completely deserves the bird they're getting).

6. The Teenager

These types of drivers are a mixture between the multitasker and the rusher, a horrible combination. If you look in their car you’ll either see a ton of girls with the windows down singing (really badly) to some Taylor Swift song or a ton of guys with their arms out the window and their music so loud you can feel the vibrations from your car.

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.
