Thoughts That Occur In My Head While Riding DC Metro

1. I need a car

If I had a car I wouldn't be riding the metro. But unfortunately college has taken all of my money and has left me with only enough money to put on my smart trip card every 2 weeks.

2. Are you really disabled?

Oh did that sound rude? Here let me rephrase it: are you really incapable of standing for a few metro stops? Someone who is REALLY disabled or elderly is standing while you the un-disabled person are sitting comfortably looking down at your phone because you don't want to make eye contact with someone who is staring you down because you took the seat that they are suppose to use because of their disability. Yeah what a jerk you are.

3. Excuse me bag, can I sit there?

Unfortunately I encounter this everyday.There's always some woman or man who thinks that their bag is royalty and needs a seat of their own instead of holding it on their laps and letting another human being sit in that seat. Why people?? Why??

4. You are not the Incredible Hulk, please don't try to open the doors.

Why do men think it's okay to stop the doors from closing by pulling them apart like they are the Incredible Hulk? The doors are closing stop trying to be the hero by letting the other riders in, if they missed the metro, they missed the metro. I don't think he realizes he's preventing the rest of us from getting home.

5. Dear lady with the glasses, I can see you staring at me.

Nothing makes me more uncomfortable if it's not seeing someone use their sunglasses as a way to stare at people and be nosey. Obviously we are making eye contact through your sunglasses,so it's time too look away from now ma'm.

6. Why does it take 3 minutes after people are already in the metro cars to close the door.

I get it, schedule maintenance but do you have to do that at every stop?? Geez at this rate I'm never going to get home!

7. To the jerk who blocks the doorway......

You're not suppose to be there sir. Can't you see we're all struggling to get inside the doors because you decide it's okay to stand by the doors and not move. Don't you hear the driver "please go to the center aisles of the metro cars." Obviously not if you're standing there. Next time I will push and shove you to teach you a lesson.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
