39 Thoughts People Have While Driving In Florida
Defensive Driving Advice.com

For the people that have spent any extended amount of time in Florida, it is clear that no one in the state knows how to drive. Whether it be braking for absolutely no reason, going 15 under the speed limit, or whizzing by you like "The Fast and Furious," you'll encounter some kind of bad driving on your way from point A to point B.

Being a native Floridian, I've witnessed just about everything. I even know that most people in my area took their driver's test within the safe, non-realistic confines of a parking lot and adjoining backroad. I thought about this every time as I was driving, and questioned why this was allowed.

Fair warning, my never before written down road rage is about to be unleashed. If you are easily offended, turn back now. Also, this will be a PG-13 version since my grandparents may read this. Feel free to substitute expletives at any given point.

As a Florida driver, you may experience these thoughts at some point during your drive.

1. The light is green. Go.

2. Get off your phone and drive!

3. Please, go a little slower, I'm not in a rush or anything.

4. Are you even going the speed limit?

5. WHY ARE YOU GOING 15 UNDER? GET OFF THE ROAD!

6. Nice turn signal.

7. Oh OK, let's slam on our brakes.

8. There's not even anyone in front of you, what was the point of that?

9. There's only two lanes. Both of you can't go the same speed side by side.

10. I'm going 10 over, is that not fast enough for you?

11. Oh no, please, cut me off.

12. You don't know where you're going do you?

13. Tourists.

14. Yes, because cutting across four lanes of traffic is totally safe. Enjoy Disney.

15. You don't need to stop to turn right. You really don't.

16. It's just rain. No need to freak out.

17. Now you're all going to drive slow. Fanfreakingtastic.

18. Are you kidding me?!

19. Don't even think about cutting the line.

20. Oh good! I've always wanted to be stuck at an intersection because you idiots blocked it.

21. That's illegal by the way.

22. GAS PEDAL! PUSH IT!

23. The light is green...

24. And there's more traffic. Awesome.

25. Do any of you know how to drive? Any at all?

25. Stop riding my tail.

26. If you hit me, you're dead.

27. It's dark out, turn on your lights.

28. No, not your brights.

29. I'm surrounded by idiots.

30. You're in the fast lane, going under the speed limit. Makes sense.

31. Move over!

32. There's no reason for you to slow down. None at all.

33. WHAT

34. ARE

35. YOU

36. DOING?!

37. I'm done.

38. Aaaaaand I can't park. Awesome.

39. I hate everyone.

Drive safely!

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.
