10 Things You Should Know Before Dating A Gear Head
Ulises Olvera

Are you crushing on a car guy? Do you date a passionate gear head? Can you hear a revving engine in the background right now? Like me, you might be slightly annoyed but you love him anyway. Here are 10 things you already know or need to know about your car guy from a girlfriend's perspective.

1. He will spend more time washing his car than you will in front of the mirror in the morning.

Why? No idea. He washed his car yesterday.

2. You'll constantly hear him talk about random car stuff that you have absolutely no interest in.

You'll constantly think, "How much longer can you talk about spark plugs? Please don't start on tires, I can't take it."

3. He'll park far away from any other car in the parking lot, just so he can protect his "baby".

If he calls his car "baby" one more time, you might throw up.

4. Did you know cars had names?

Not Mazda, Ford or Subaru but... Miley, Scoob and Misty.

5. "Woman Crush Wednesdays" become "Car Crush Wednesdays".

Seriously, yes, it does get old.

6. Saturday night car photo shoots are a thing.

Once in a while he might allow his other "baby" to be in the picture too. *eye roll*

7. Every time the delivery guy comes to the house, they get giddy.

Which car part came this week?

8. They are always watching, sharing, and liking car videos.

No need to stalk his page, your only competition is that all black, bugeye, Evo.

9. He will talk cars with anyone.

He can't help it, it's like word vomit.

10. Buying a car is the most drawn out affair you will ever witness.

It's so annoying. Just pick a shiny one and leave.


If all this stuff wasn't so darn cute, you'd be single.

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.
