Use. Your. Blinker.

Please use your blinker when you are turning or changing lanes!

Use. Your. Blinker.

During school months you can find me either at Chick Fil A or driving down the interstate, Monday through Friday and sometimes on Saturday. All I do during school months is drive. I am so tired of driving, I am sure that I drive enough for three people! And, I am sure that all of you know, anyone driving, that is not you, is crazy and doesn't know how to drive.

The thing that irritates me the most is when people do not use their blinkers. They're there for a reason people, not just for decoration. I remember one of the questions on my driving permit test was "How far/when do you turn on your blinker," I guess I was the only one that got that question because nine times out of ten no one uses their blinkers. I had someone this morning on the interstate swerve into my lane without warning, (translation: they DID NOT use their blinker!) If you're going to cut me off, at least use your blinker, common courtesy folks.

Another issue that could arise from not using your blinker, not being able to get over for road work. I am more apt to let someone over that is using a blinker because 1) they are letting me know that they want to change lanes and 2) they are USING their blinker! And I can understand not having it on if you are a "turn only" lane, but you best have used it to get over into that lane.

I hope that whoever is reading this has learned how important using their blinker is. It lets people know that you are changing lanes or that you are turning, and using it could stop a wreck from happening (because we know people like to swerve into other people's lanes!) So read this, internalize it, and USE. YOUR. BLINKER!

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.
