I- friend.

How do I even coherently reply to that??? 😭

Just- Thank you.

Thank you so much for saying that. I can't even begin to tell you how much it meant to read that. I'm gonna be thinking about this all day now. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Okay so this was from literally two months ago, and I am so sorry, but here we go!

I am generally a very accident prone person with general bad luck, so lbr near-death incidents are not even remotely unusual for me. (You should hear all the things that happened in my organic chemistry lab in undergrad, it was rather ridiculous.) In this case though, it was mostly just the bad luck of horrid weather. The midwestern snowpocalypse courtesy of the polar vortex really had it out for me.

So let’s just start with the fact that I’m a college kid with a shit car. Like really shit. This car is genuinely as old as me. Like it was built in the same year I was born. My girl Bert has been alive and kicking for years, but she struggles with snow. Mostly due to the fact that she is so old that she still has rear-wheel drive AND no traction control. For people who don’t deal with snow often, please know that this is not a good combo for any weather other than nice and sunny because, but it is especially bad for snow. Fishtailing and spinning out does not even begin to describe it.

Now, normally, it’s not too big of a deal. The midwest knows snow. We deal with it all the time. We know when to plow the roads and when to start salting. Generally, even if there’s snow, it’s not on the roads. However, due to reasons that I found out later were the result of Local Political Fuckery, that morning there was a solid 3-5 inches of unplowed, unsalted snow and slush built up on all the roads, including the interstate!

So I have a 30-35 min commute to my med school every morning. Not too bad. But that morning, do you want to know how long it took? Two hours and 40 minutes! My car almost went off the road multiple times. Into ditches. Into trees. Into other cars. My personal favorite, off two separate bridges. And of course, we can’t forget Bert’s rear-wheels trying to get us going but getting no traction in the slush and spinning out,,,,,, right in front of an oncoming semi,,, three times.

So five times was a probably on the low side of the number of times I almost died that morning, but hey I survived!
