10 Reasons Why People Have A Love/Hate Relationship With Their Car
Rebecca Scharen

Your car is not just an automobile, your car has a special place in your heart. Even though sometimes your car can be just another headache at times, you do not know where you would be without it. Your car and you have a special bond and relationship that some just do not understand, and that's okay. Here are 10 reasons why people have that oh so special love/hate relationship with their cars.

1. Your car has been there for you in bad times:

Whether it's after a breakup to a bad fight with a friend, sometimes driving around sobbing and singing your heart out to your car is the best medicine.

2. Your car never complains about the way you drive:

No matter how many times friends or family members complain about the way you drive your car never does.

3. Your car has put you through some bad times:

From ruining day trips because of a flat tire, to breaking down on the parkway; your car gives you headaches and unforgettable memories.

4. Your car escorts you everywhere:

Let’s face it, without your car you would never be able to go anywhere. Your car allows you to explore new and exciting places and revisit some old ones.

5. You have deep conversations together:

Even though your car never responds, you still drive around having in depth conversations with your car.

6. You got each other’s backs:

While driving, you always look out for your car from crazy drivers to potholes. You defend your car just as much as your car will defend you.

7. Your car is an actual person with a name:

Whenever you mention your car, you never say ‘my car,’ it needs a name. From Ed to Debbie, the names of your vehicle vary each time you get a new car. You address your car as a person so much, that sometimes the people who do not know you well enough think you are speaking about an individual.

8. Your car drains your wallet:

You think you are rolling in the dough until you get a car. From getting gas every week, to auto-shop repairs, to even monthly insurance bills, your car is a pricey investment.

9. Your car gives up on you… sometimes:

Sometimes your car is not reliable as you would like it to be. From the battery dying to the car’s starter not working, your car is not as invincible as you would like it to be.

10. You get offended when others talk badly about your car:

You pride yourself in your car, it is your baby. The only person that is allowed to make fun of your car is you, no exceptions.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
