5 Things That Happen When You Suck At Driving

If you're alive to complain about my driving are you really right in saying I'm a bad driver?

Now not only do I have a bright obnoxious colored car, but I cannot for the life of me drive it safely. I have countless stories about how terrible of a driver I am and anyone that's been in my car can only confirm that. Here are just a few of the things that always happen when you really do suck at driving.

1. Someone in your car is always screaming

Loud noises, expletives, and screaming are things very common to hear coming from both the passenger and driver's side in my little jeep I call Raul. Whether it's because I ran something over, ran into something, am driving too slow, or unintentionally did something illegal someone's always yelling and for good reason. I've been driving for almost 4 years and much to every one of my passenger's dismay, my driving has not improved in the least.

2. You're always lost

Coupled with being probably one of the worst drivers on the planet, I also have the world's worst sense of direction. My GPS name is Pam and not even she can help me. I've been lost for hours by myself and with others and nothing makes a difference. I've been lost for hours even just going down the street or a few miles away from my own house. It doesn't matter how many times I've been somewhere or how long I've lived in the same place.. no matter what my brain only has the capacity to take me to one or two houses without the GPS on.

3. You've been pulled over more times than you can count

You name it, I've been pulled over for it. I've been driving on the wrong side of the road, suspected of stopping to pull out a joint, the usual speeding, almost 10 EZpass violations every single summer. Of course none of it is intentional, it's all just because I really cannot for the life of me drive correctly and safely. I was lost so I ended up on the wrong side of the road, I was lost again so I pulled over in a seemingly sketchy area to turn around, and EZpass violations only occurred because I thought I'd die if I stayed in the correct lane.

4. You've blown out more tires than a car even has

Being a terrible driver also comes with the inevitable and unfortunately frequent accident. I've blown out five tires and amazingly not even on just my own car. One came exploded after hitting the curb, another when I hit a DIFFERENT curb (don't worry that curb came out in front of me it wasn't my fault), a third and fourth when I ran directly into a seemingly invisible tractor-trailer, and a fifth when I was attempting to do a nice deed by taking someone else's car to get fixed. To my astonishment, my mom has only blown out only one tire in her entire life and guess who was there when it happened? That's right, I was.

5. A car honked? No need to look around it was definitely at you

You hear that? It's the sound of someone calling you out for sucking. At this point I'm immune to car horns, honking, and beeping of any sort. I hear it daily and I hear it often. I know it was my fault, but honestly if you didn't see a bright neon green jeep coming your way then I feel like you were at least 50% to blame for whatever just happened. So honk away, it will change nothing I promise.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
