6 Different Types of Bad Drivers

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
