11 Random Thoughts I Have While Driving
Gema Pineda

Being in a long-distance relationship, I do a lot of driving to go visit my boyfriend. Throughout this drive, which is three to four hours, I get a lot of random thoughts that pop up in my head, especially if I am driving alone. To be honest, if there was someone else in the car with me during my road trips, they would think I am pretty weird - which I am.

1. " Should I even go?"


Whenever I start driving I literally start asking myself if this drive is worth it (sorry, babe).

2. "What playlist should I listen to?"


Choosing a playlist for a long drive is super important. It could literally help set your mood and get you pumped for your trip.

3. "Is it safe to watch Netflix while on the road?"


Sometimes I've had considered on putting on Netflix and set my phone on the dashboard so I can catch up on shows while driving. But that is obviously not a good idea.

4. "I wonder if other people wonder what kind of music other drivers are listening to."

I always want to know what kind of music people jam to while they drive. Because sometimes they look like they are really into it and I want to jam, too.

5. "Why the heck are people driving slow?"


When people drive below 70 mph on the turnpike, it drives me mad. Like, you shouldn't be on the turnpike if you are going to be driving 45 mph. I feel like I'm not making any progress on my trip.

6. "Did I forget anything?"


Usually half an hour into my trip, I try to remember if I packed everything. I just keep on driving trying to remember if I forgot something. Normally, I do forget something.

7. "Should I make a pit stop?"


I always contemplate on whether I should make a pit stop or just keep going. It is technically a short drive, but whenever mother nature calls... you never know if you should keep going or make a quick stop.

8. "Why are you riding my butt?"

People who drive really close to my car irks the heck out of me. Like, what is the point to tailgate me when there are three other lanes you can drive in? Sometimes I wish I could break-check them so they can learn their lesson to keep their distance.

9. "I want to check my phone so bad."


Like almost everyone else, I, too, get the urge to text and drive or scroll through Instagram while I am driving. I typically control myself and wait until I reach my destination, but it kills me to know that I have no idea what is happening on Twitter while I drive.

10. "Am I almost there yet?"

I've gone through most of the playlist and yet, I have not reached my destination.This is when I start asking the infamous question. Sometimes driving long distances feel dragged out and you just feel like you've made no progress.

11. "I'm finally here!"

Ahhh yes... the moment I have been waiting for: Finally being able to pull up to my destination.The feeling you have when you get to turn off your car and step out of it is amazing. After being trapped for a few hours, it feels good to be able to walk around and stretch your legs.

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.
