Disclaimer: I am not a cop. These may be laws. These may not be laws. I don't know. Either way, they should be enforced more or be turned into laws.

1. Cruising in the left lane

Nope. Don't do it. If there is nobody around you, get your car back into the right lane. If there is someone clearly trying to pass you in the left lane, get your car into the right lane and stay there. Shoutout to that one cop who pulled someone over for holding up 20 cars in the left lane.

2. Breaking before getting into a turn lane

Ok I do realize sometimes you have to, but if there's enough room to start breaking after you have merged into a turn lane, please do! Don't start breaking on the highway or road because then you slow everyone else down. And it's kind of dangerous.

3. Not using a blinker

I don't even have to explain this. The only exception would be if there was nobody around you.

4. Driving under the speed limit

No one likes to get stuck behind a driver who refuses to drive as fast as the speed limit.

5. Knowing a two lane road turns into one, then cutting everyone off

If you know a two lane road is going to be a one lane road, don't be a jerk and speed all the way to where it merges into one and cut off everyone.

6. Driving with two feet

If your brake lights are on... while you are driving full speed... you clearly need to just sell your car because you don't know how to drive.

7. Texting and driving

If you can't go an entire drive to wherever without picking up your phone, you have an addiction to your phone. Stop. Texting. And. 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.
