Friday the 13th? STAY INSIDE.

Getting out of bed, I checked my phone and saw the big FRIDAY 13 on my second icon in on the left, the calendar. I saw it sure, but it didn't make me think of anything so I carried on with my normal day. I went to the dentist, ate a solo brunch (ain't no shame, truly), and had to hit up a meeting. Oh! I even put on my mom pants (as per usual) and went food shopping because yes, I live the most exciting life a college student could ever ask for.

Rushing around, not taking a second to really breathe and feeling anxious ALL day (okay, maybe it was the amount of coffee I had...), it started to rain before I got in the car to tailgate Dave Matthews Band. After going back and forth worrying if it was going to torrential downpour, I put on my big girl shorts and hopped in my car. Hello I love DMB so why would I EVER let $54 worth of loving go to waste? Exactly.

The rain started to clear up, in the distance I could see patches of sunshine so I was like Oh wow, this day really is going to be fun! About to cross the bridge (I was on my way to Philly), I merge into the proper lane *BECAUSE I AM A SAFE AND FABULOUS DRIVER* and BOOM. Or more like a thump. Yea, definitely a thump. A loud one. For my tire and my heart.

Usually my car eats up potholes (minus: time 1 and time 2(just last month)) and I'm on my way but Friday the 13th was MUCH different. I got about .5 miles farther until my baby was dead instantly - like an ant when you stomp on them (or is that just a me thing because I hate insects alike?)

I angrily attacked my phone keyboard with the words "**!&^@ FLAT TIRE. CAN'T COME TO DAVE". You can only imagine how much of a mess I was. I was about 5 minutes from the concert venue itself, so I was maybe considering walking (even though its #1 of the worst places in America...what fun, right)! I called my mom, was on hold with automated messages to get my car towed, and worrying about the damn cost and -54 from my sweet baby bank account. Luckily my car got towed, My mom drove me to dave, and I only missed the first part (aka acoustic). However he DID play Some Devil and that made me the happiest flat tire princess in ALL THE LAND.

How to make your Friday the 13th's livable from now on? Hit up my good friend Dave Matthews.
