Today while I was driving home from school, I got every single red light. It really made me think about stop lights and how much time we waste at them. If I live 2 miles from school and can get there, with no red lights, and without speeding in 5 minutes, when it takes me 15 minutes, there are 10 minutes of my life that I can never get back. I know that we need stop lights to regulate traffic which I'd probably spend more wasted time in. However, I can't help thinking about what it'd be like if there were no stop lights to get stopped at.
Another thing I noticed is how much easier it is to get angry at people while driving. I consider myself to be a very even-tempered person. I don't get mad easily and pretty much never legitimately yell at people. However, when I am driving, some people just make me really angry. I think that part of it could be that I know that the other drivers can't hear me and yelling at them won't really help. For some reason, though, it seems to make things better.
I personally don't really like driving. After having to cart my brother around all year long, I think that I could spend my time doing a lot more productive things with my time. Nonetheless, I will keep driving and thinking about ways I can better use my time while driving.
