Why Are There So Many Wrecks

Is I57 haunted

"Valier fire, respond to ........." The shrill of my husband's Fire Walkie Talkie is not a sound I enjoy. The first sound sounds like something only dogs should be able to hear. Next comes the words. Sometimes nothing is wrong and it is just a false alarm but most of the time it is not. When it's not I fear who it could be. There have been fires but so many more wrecks. You may not know much about how a 911 call works. I sure didn't before I met my husband. Everyone is called out. Not just the people that are needed but more. Ambulances, fire trucks, police officers, sometimes abbots towing are all called out at the same time. It could be to a fire or wreck, or a lift assist. Since we live in the small county of Franklin we do not have as many things going on. Lately there have been 10+ wrecks on I57 in the last 3 months. Some people say it is haunted. What do you think I am going to say? People need to learn how to drive, that's what I would say.

We always talk about how much drunk drivers need to get off of the road. Have you ever thought about you? Have you ever driven like a crazy person? I hate to say it but I have. There are so many wrecks out there caused by so much more than drunk drivers. For instance, deer, cats, dogs, semis, brakes, trees, power lines, road workers, pedestrians, and much much more. My point is watch your sourandings. Look for things you never would before. Be careful and be aware.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
