3/4-3/10
I decided to use my post as a way to vent my frustrations with other drivers. Lately I have noticed people failing to use their blinkers! It may only be a 4-way stop on a quiet street, but that is no reason to neglect the blinker. Even when there are no other cars in sight, I still use my blinker. It's just habit. How is it not a habit for other drivers? I have recently been in a car accident (yes, it was my fault so I probably fall in the "bad driver" category) so I find myself being overly observant now of other drivers and I am so surprised at the lack of blinker usage. I was always taught to just use it no matter what. It can't be that people are too lazy to just flip it on... because, I mean, it's not difficult and does not take much effort. It's hardly a movement. I just don't understand why someone would just choose not to put on a blinker when they're turning. I'd like to think I don't have road rage, but I get mad when I see someone turn without letting me know first! What are some other annoying driving habits people notice???

Growing Up
Does anyone else feel like their getting old? I'm only 23 and I've already lost interest in the going out, partying and bars lifestyle I was so adamant about only less than a year ago. I remember last winter break going to Brothers or Corner Bar with a bunch of friends almost every night of the week, and having no problems what-so-ever staying out til bar close only to wake up early for work the next morning.
I'm feeling old because of days like today, when waking up seemed the hardest task I could do. Last night I went to bed at 12:00am (what used to be early for me) and woke to my alarm blaring at 8:15, so why do I feel so drained? Going to bed late and waking up early used to be common place for me, so why is it so hard now?
Not only has sleep become a more necessary commodity, but I've seem to have lost my interest in doing the things I once got so much enjoyment out of. Rain or shine, it didn't matter what the weather was like, I would be out living it up. Now a little bit of a drizzle outside and I prefer the confines of a warm blanket and a good movie to keep me happy.
Is this just me maturing that I don't feel the need to go out to bars and hang out with big groups of friends anymore? Does anyone else feel like they're growing up too? Cause I gotta tell ya, at 23 I'm feeling a lot more like 32. I know growing up isn't a bad thing, but it is most definitely a scary realization when it happens. Are you as scared as I am or is it just me?
