9 things you know if you drive a prius

Ugh, I only got 42 MPG? How?!

I know what you're thinking. ANOTHER Prius owner talking about how awesome and amazing their car is. Well, I'm here to tell you-- they're just that great. I can think of more pros than cons about owning a Prius, and I wouldn't have it any other way. They quite literally are the cars of the future. I personally drive a Prius C, and I love it. If you own a Prius or know someone who does own a Prius-- here are some things I bet you can relate with.

1. My car was so affordable

Many of the older Prius models are super affordable, and still look like the newer Prius models. You can't go wrong when buying a Prius.

2. Wait...what does this button do?

I own a 2012 Prius C four, and it is way ahead of its time. My car has a back up camera, full screen radio, and many other ammenities. It also has an all electronic gauge system, and gives me reports on fuel consumption and how much energy I have created. It is insane.

3. OMG, what does ECO mean? *Googles it*

Prius cars are literally built with you in mind. They have ECO mode and EV mode, which helps you save money all around.

4. ... did I even turn it on?

This is no joke. The first time I turned my car on, I had to ask the sales woman if it was even on.

5. Ugh, it's so cute and small!

Just look at how tiny and cute Prius C's are! They're the baby of the Prius family.

6. Wow, I haven't filled my car up in like a month...

And this is totally true. I can't remember the last time I had to put gas in my car.

7. Oooh, I need to make my ECO score better. *Slows down*

Ah, yes. Back up past 20. I'm so proud.

8. Let's see if I can get past 400 miles on this tank of gas

Because, 380 miles isn't enough.

9. Ugh, only 45 MPG?! I need to fix this.

This is probably the most true thing about owning a Prius. I always want my gas mileage to be above 45 MPG, and if it isn't I feel robbed.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
