10 things that get under my skin while driving: from the prospective of someone who should have been a nascar driver.

1. People who Cannot stay in their lane

They didn't teach you to stay between the mayonnaise and mustard for no reason.

2. People who ride your bumper

I like my bumper, please don't mess it up because you don't know how to stay back an appropriate length.

3. People who drive under the speed limit in the fast lane

If you cannot drive the speed limit or just choose to not go the speed limit, please stay in the right lane. If you drive a big truck and decide at the last minute that you want to pass the big truck in front of you, at least wait until nobody else is coming. I cannot count the times that traffic was backed up because two big trucks were side by side. If it takes you ten minutes to pass the other truck, it's not worth it.

4. Slow drivers PERIOD.

As I said before, I should have been a nascar driver because I like speed. Therefore, I cannot stand to go slow because your car doesn't go over 45 mph on the interstate where the speed limit is 70. If you have nowhere to go and you got all day to get there, please move over to the right lane where you belong. If I have to pass you in the slow lane, I will probably give you a dirty look as I drive by.

5. People who think you want to race

I don't. Even though I like to drive fast, I am not stupid. If I speed up to get around you it's because you are making me mad because you keep catching up with me, not because I want to see who can drive faster... Which is more than likely me.

6. People who pull over in front of you without looking

Hello.. It's me here. The person you just pulled over in front of going slow. Can you not drive!? Wait your turn!

7. People who clearly see the sign that says "lane ending," and they continue to drive on it hoping to get further up in the line.

It is so annoying that you think that you deserve to be ahead of everyone else. Your stupidty causes wrecks because people have to slam on the brakes to let you over. It's actually fairly simple to get over when the sign first says that the lane is ending.

8. People who slam on the brakes for absolutely no reason. AT ALL.

If you are driving along, going the speed limit and then all of a sudden you just slam on your brakes just because... You are probably not my favorite person. If you do not like when people are driving faster than you, you shouldn't be in the fast lane, as mentioned before.

9. People who do not use a blinker when turning

If you get hit in the back end, it is nobody's fault but your own. How am I supposed to know you're turning if you do not signal to me that you are turning? It's not an act of congress to move the little stick on the side of your steering wheel to the direction you are going.

10. People who suddenly forget how to drive in bad weather

If you can't drive in the rain, the wind or the snow.. why do you even have a license?

11. People who let everyone in front of them when there is construction or a wreck and traffic moves into one lane

I'm glad that you have all the time in the world, but most people don't. Just because they waited until the last minute to get over, doesn't mean you should let them in.

12. People who won't get over so that you can merge onto the highway

If there is room in the other lane for you to get over and someone is trying to merge over into your lane, move over!

13. People who drive slow until you try to go around them, then they speed pp

WHYYYYYYYY?

14. People who slow down for every cop they see, no matter how fast they are going

No, just no! You shouldn't get other people killed because you are too afraid to pass a cop! If a cop is going under the speed limit, you can pass them! It's not illegal. Do not slam on your brakes unless you are going over the speed limit!

15. People who don't know what they are doing at all

I'm not really sure how you got your license.. but you need to give it back.

I know I'm not the only one who has complained about one if not all of these.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
