9 Things That Happen When You Wait Till 18 To Get Your License

One of the many perks from living in my hometown of Coronado is the fact almost everything you need is merely a hop skip or a bike ride away. This lead to me watching my 16th, 17th and 18th birthday pass before finally getting my license. Afterall, whats the point when you can bike just about anywhere?


1. Being that you are now an "adult" and all now, you'd like to think that among all the complexities of life that you've figured out, you've also been able to learn to drive by mere observation. This, however, is almost never the case.


2. And if you did make it to 18 knowing how to drive but lacking your license, no one will believe you when you protest that you can, in fact, drive.

3. So you practice and practice and practice. And then, you practice some more.

4. And if you have been exercising your ability to drive sans said license, paranoia has been in your passenger seat for quite some time. Your worst fear has been getting pulled over and handing over a library card in place of a license.


5. And out of this fear, you have become very Very accustomed to being driven around. You're also eternally grateful to the creator of Uber.


6. You also have run out of shame when it comes to asking your friends to take you somewhere.


7. Your friends never let you forget that you can't drive. Even if you swear you can.


8. But after you do get your license you know you'll be the official driver


9. And you're reaaaally looking forward to all the excursions you'll go on once you finally do get your license

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.
