Your car has a super power you might not know about!

Turn Signals: A Public Service Announcement

Hey everyone!

I hope this little PSA finds you well. I have a bit of shocking information information for all of you, so you might want to brace yourselves for this news.

It seems as though some covert government agency has gained access to all of our vehicles and activated a special device that allows people around us to know where we are going!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what is known as a turn signal, or an indicator switch if you’re fancy. These little magic sticks do some amazing work! They can show other drivers when you are turning left, when you are wanting to go straight, and yes, they even show others when you want to turn right! How amazing is that!? What a time to be alive!

For those of you too dense to understand the humor in this, you probably need to read this more than anyone. Contrary to what you’d probably been taught by the trolls and goblins you called teachers, these aren’t in your car just to make a nice ticking sound. They serve a significant purpose. They indicate to other drivers that you want to turn or merge. You know, so you don’t crash and kill someone!

Now, I know many of you are skeptical of this newfound development, and maybe you are even a bit concerned that this is just another way for the government to keep tabs on you. I assure you, it’s not. So put away your tin hats and embrace the change that can only lead our society to a stronger, more unified, more wholesome place. Dare I say, a Utopia!

Now, in all seriousness, if you are one of these dumb, dirty, un-american, anarchist, steaming turd burgers who don’t use their turn signals, I have something to say to you. USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS! I don’t understand what is so difficult for people to understand about the significance, and the relative ease of using your turn signal. First and foremost, it’s a matter of safety. When you don’t use your turn signal...PEOPLE DON’T KNOW YOU’RE TURNING! What!? I know, it’s amazing. The human race has not evolved to communicate telepathically yet.

It’s shocking, I know, this idea that your fellow human beings aren’t able to just read your mind because you’re such a perfect little creature, the purest, shiney-est light in all the universe. That you’ve never done anything wrong in your life because you are the closest thing to an angel in human flesh, right? Guess again buttercup! You are nothing more than another giant turd clogging up the universe’s toilet. It’s your fault we have global warming, crippling debt, and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton! YOU ARE THE REASON 2016 IS AN AWFUL YEAR!!

You have a chance to redeem yourself now though. You can find the error of your ways and come into the light! YOU CAN BE SAVED MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

It’s super easy too! Just grab the stick and pull! Yes, I said it.

Don’t be afraid to signal early too! Being a little proactive never really hurt anyone.

Sincerely,

Your friendly neighborhood shitstirrer

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
