\"\"<\/a>Hi everyone!\u00a0 This blog post is going to be short, for the sole reason that I\u2019m asking my roommate to type it for me.\u00a0 And the reason why I\u2019m asking my roommate to type it for me is because I have been told that I\u2019m not able to use a computer, do any homework, go to class, or even go outside for the past several days.\u00a0 And the reason for THAT is that I was in a bike accident last week and got a minor concussion and a few stitches as a result.<\/p>\n

I want this blog post to serve as a very, very important reminder to stay safe on the road, whether you\u2019re a biker, a driver, or even just a pedestrian.\u00a0 Things happen.\u00a0 And a lot of the time, those things aren\u2019t too pretty.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you decide to ride your bike, WEAR A HELMET.\u00a0 I seriously can\u2019t stress this enough.\u00a0 Who knows what could have happened to me if I didn\u2019t have one on.<\/li>\n
  2. LOOK WHERE YOU\u2019RE GOING.\u00a0 This goes for everyone.\u00a0 Sometimes bikers, people, cars come out of \u201cnowhere.\u201d So look out.<\/li>\n
  3. I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re on wheels or not, OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAWS.\u00a0 If there\u2019s a blinking red hand telling you not to walk, it\u2019s simple. Don\u2019t walk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now I know you\u2019ve all heard these things a million times, and I don\u2019t want to sound completely lame, but take it from me- missing class for days in a row and having your best friend type your blog posts for you isn\u2019t as fun as it seems.\u00a0 I promise. <\/em> It\u2019s worth it to wait a few extra seconds at a stoplight or strap a hard shell on your head.<\/p>\n

    <\/em><\/p>\n

    Stay safe,<\/p>\n
