Driving is a luxury many of us take for granted. With time, we get more comfortable behind the wheel which results in becoming slightly more reckless and causes us to make more poor driving decisions. Speeding and running red lights are among the common errors people make while driving and while I don't recommend doing any of these, here are five more not-so-smart activities you may or may not do while driving.

1. Eat messy food.

Who wants to eat a granola bar or apple while they're driving? Yeah, they're a clean snack but tacos and pizza taste way better. Bonus points if you get chicken nuggets and can easily dip them in sauce while driving.

2. Scroll through your music library until you find the perfect song.

It can get boring driving by yourself in the quiet or while a song you don't know is playing on the radio. Time to plug in the aux and scroll through Spotify or Apple Music until you come across the perfect tune.

3. Perform a concert for fellow drivers.


Okay so you found the perfect song and when you hear your favorite jam, you obviously have to sing along like you’re on stage in front of an audience. It's definitely not the safest thing to do while driving but it sure is fun.

4. Text and Snapchat.

All jokes and humor aside… And as much as we don't want to admit it, many of us tend to text and Snapchat while we drive. It's dangerous, reckless, and could cause a tragic accident that definitely could have been avoided.

5. Forget that you're actually driving.

Have you ever arrived at your destination and as you put the car in park, you wondered how in the hell you got there? It's easy to get distracted but when you're driving, try to remember that you're actually driving.

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.
