Traffic Ruins Lives


I drove down with a friend to Irvine, California from my house here off-campus and as we drove the 40 mile trip, I thought about what to pick for my topic for writing. My though process was hindered by the constant start and stopping of the car's engine then it hit me! I hate traffic.

I'm originally from Texas and traffic does not seem to affect my life too much seeing as we have spread out with cities with four lane highways but then I came to school in Los Angeles. The traffic in Los Angeles in notorious around the country and everybody has an idea of what its like but I truly think its one of those things that you can't completely imagine until you see what its like. For a city of 10+ million people you have to see it to believe what its like for thousands of cars within each square mile.

My goal now is to find the perfect solution to the chaos. I'm definitely open to ideas and opinions even if it is just telling me personal stories about your times in traffic.
