DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE OR NAH?!

Road rage: it happens to the best of us.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE OR NAH?!

It's a beautiful day. You decide to go for a little drive just because you can. You've got your shades, your perfect driving play list, an almost full tank of gas, and nothing but time. As soon as you enter the roadway, however, you are hit with the biggest hazard of them all--other drivers. If you are anything like me (or my husband) you have probably said some colorful phrases while driving. For those of you that don't have road rage (you're all lying, by the way) here are 10 of my biggest annoyances while out on the open road.

10. Sunday Drivers

You know them. Those little old people that drive 10 miles below the speed limit because they can take their sweet time going everywhere because they are retired and have zero plans. Listen here, Magnolia, I have places to be and you need to get the heck out my way.

9. Not Using Turn Signals in Parking Lots

I understand that it's a parking lot, but for real, you still need to indicate which flipping direction you are going.

8. Constantly Braking for NO Reason

I mean, I understand if there is something darting in front of you and you need to brake, or perhaps you are stopping soon, but if you are just doing it because you don't know how to monitor your speed or the flow of traffic then for the love of all that is holy get off the road.

7. Speeding Up After I Pass You

Oh, looky here Alice, we finally found the gas pedal. Now don't ride my bumper because I finally passed you after following you for 3 miles of you going 35 in a 50.

6. Slowing Down After Passing Me

I'm already speeding, but go ahead and feel the need to pass me. Don't slow down as soon as you get ahead of me. You're tacky and I hate you.

5. Bike Riders That Take Up the Whole Lane

Yeah, yeah, I know you can't ride on the side walk, but do you have to ride that thing in the middle of the lane? I'm pretty sure my big car will beat your tiny bike any day so MOOOOOOOOOVE.

4. People Who Cut Over Three Lanes of Traffic Because They Made A Last Minute Decision

Okay, I need to merge on the highway in about half a mile so I should stay in the far right lane, but oh wait, here comes Danny Dingleberry crossing over three lanes of traffic to do the same thing. Perhaps you should know where you're going before you get in your vehicle.

3. People Who Drive Slow in the Fast Lane

Guys, there are two lanes on the highway for a reason. If you want to drive at or below the posted speed limit then please pick the appropriate lane. I am trying to forge a trail going 85 on the highway so don't kill my vibe.

2. Coming to a Complete Stop to Turn

It's not actually necessary. You CAN turn without stopping your entire vehicle. If you have to come to a complete stop I am 100% questioning how you got your license.

1. Slamming on the Brakes and THEN Turning Your Turn Signal On

There's this nifty little lever and it has the ability to indicate which direction your vehicle is going to be turning. You should use that prior to slowing down your vehicle to warn the people behind you that you are turning. If you don't, there is a huge chance that I am going to flip you off.


This is by no means an all inclusive list and I am positive I missed things that drive me nuts that people do. As always, drive safe, don't text and drive, and move over for emergency service vehicles.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
