The 9 Worst Types Of Drivers

If you have a serious case of road rage, look no further, because I have the article for you! It's not uncommon to hate multiple people on the road, without even knowing them. It's totally normal to say a few choice words while sitting in traffic. It's extremely common to beep your horn at least once a day. It's not your fault that there are some terrible drivers on the road. These drivers are the reason that my blood boils while sitting in traffic, at a red light, or even just on the open road.

1. The See-Saw

These people insist on turning left when there is a red light, even though they are in the right lane, so they take the three inches between you and the car in front of you and weave their way into the lane. At the same time, they keep half their car in their own lane. Thus, the see-saw is born. This person will not put on their blinker, nor ask your permission. Instead, they will shove their car, no matter the size, into your lane and not think twice about it. Who cares if you have the slam on the breaks and spill your coffee? The See-saw doesn't!

2. The Snake

Now, this person can be found in a multitude of locations, but one of the most common is when there is construction on a road. There is a giant sign that has an arrow telling everyone to merge into the left lane, but this person thinks that they can skip the whole line if they just drive up far enough and slither their way into the correct lane. Don't be the person that lets The Snake slither into traffic without waiting or else they'll never learn their lesson! This same incident happens every time there is a lane ending on a two-lane road. Stay strong and hold your ground.

3. The Dark Knight

You know, the person who drives around at night without their headlights on because somehow they can still see even though you have no idea they are next to you until they pass. Then you automatically think, "thank god I didn't switch lanes."

4. The Baby Deer

When a baby deer first comes out of the womb, they can't use their legs properly. Well, sometimes this happens to drivers too. The Baby Deer loves to hit their brakes over and over again at the most random times. Especially when there is rain or snow. The Baby Deer will drive in worse conditions at about 7 mph while switching their foot from gas to break faster than Usain Bolt.

5. The Typical Teenager

Not that it's a good thing, but most teenagers now a days have the decency to send their texts at a red light instead of driving. Thank goodness it's not while driving, but this is the leading cause of missing a green light. The Typical Teenager is too worried about sending their tweet instead of looking up to see that the light is actually now green! Combine a Typical Teenager and a city street and you're in for a ride double the amount of time that it usually takes!

6. Patches O'Houlihan

Dodge, Dip, Duck, Dive, and Dodge! This driver takes those five things to too far of a length. They really try to practice the whole, "if you can dodge a truck, you can dodge a ball," idea. Too bad this person uses traffic on the highway as practice! Patches O'Houlihan will dodge in and out of each lane about three times before you can't see him anymore. Your anxiety will go through the roof just watching this person weave in and out of lanes like they're in Fast and Furious.

7. The Peeker

This person might be the most annoying. They will look at you multiple times while driving next to you, stopped at a red light, or even in your parked car. Then, when you make eye contact with them, they don't even look away or try to hide it. They just embrace it, and embrace your stare as well.

8. The Good Samaritan

This person means well, really. They're probably a great person. They don't deserve your choice words just for being nice. However, the Good Samaritan driver will continue to let tens of people in front of them because they have a good heart. Well, I'm sorry but I have places to be, and you're going to need to say enough is enough! Stop letting everyone in front of you!

9. The Speed Racer

This person will purposely not let you over. They could have been doing 40mph in a 65mph lane, but the second you try and go around them they're off to the races! Then you have to get up to 80mph to even attempt at getting over again.

These drivers are found everywhere, so be careful and stand your ground!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
