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!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
