You just got your license and you are feeling free, grown and like a million bucks! Except your parents are still too nervous about letting you drive around by yourself, or worse… with your friends. For some, coming home from school means you have not touched a car in about five months so, you know, that means you might crash the car. So here you have a little something something to make you laugh about your driving skills. ;)

1.You just got your license.

Nothing and no one can stop you. The streets should be afraid now that you are out and about in the neighborhood!

2. But you are really a turtle.

You like to think that the streets and people should be afraid of you having a car but really you are going right on the speed limit, if not under, for the first few months after you get your license, and all the other drivers honk at you.

3. Other drivers scare the bejesus out of you.

You are a good driver nobody is denying that, but how can you know that the other drivers are good, huh? Huh? You might get into an accident and die today.
(Not really! I don't think anybody is that pessimistic);

4. You start getting confident, and then…

You hit that pothole your parents told you about and you get scared and start thinking that you are actually not that good of a driver and want to take a break.

5. You start getting confident, and then… (Part 2)

You parents, specially your dad (at least in my case), starts telling you everything you are doing wrong and how you should have avoided that pothole and which way is faster and everything. I know what I’m doing dad, I promise!

6. Your driving is pretty on point.

Your parking job though, not so much. You have hit the parking stoppers at the end of the parking spot and even gone on top of them when you try to go forward but you forgot the car was still on reverse. Yeah, it happens to the best of us.

7. Your parents finally trust you enough.


So they start asking you to drive your siblings everywhere and go grocery shopping and dropping them off at work and picking them up later again, ugh seriously guys? I have a life! Yeah it consists of watching TV and eating and laughing at vines, but like… it’s still a life!

8. When you are alone.


Or if you're with your sibling you can turn up the music and sing out loud, and it is the best driving related feeling ever.

9. And then you get that scare...

In which a dumb driver almost runs into your car while trying to get out of a crowded lane, but he clearly didn't even look into your lane because he would have smashed your car really hard if you hadn't been paying attention and had hit the break as hard as you could. Then you proceed to show them the middle finger and they show you theirs too… Why? I don't know but they messed up. Don't let them get you off driving though!

10. You realize that it is not that bad!

Driving has its good side and its bad side but after a while you just feel neutral about it. Unless you encounter another person like the one from number nine.

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.
