A Day in the Life of a Girl Driving

Enough with the stereotype!

A Day in the Life of a Girl Driving

Girls get a reputation for being bad drivers when, in reality, we aren't bad—we simply have a lot to think about all of the time. Driving just happens to be something we do while thinking about billions of other things. This can be dangerous, I know. I'm in no way condoning bad driving.

I'll be very honest, when I say that I do not consider myself the best driver out there. I've had my fair share of curb hitting and 12-point turns. So, the last time I drove I decided to pay attention not only to the road, but also to all of the thoughts going through my head. Besides all of the "friendly" comments to the other drivers, it went a little something like this:


*Gets in the car, puts on the seatbelt* Wow, what the heck? When did I decide to put my seat so far back I can't even see over the steering wheel? Oh, wait, someone totally drove my car, ugh...

Woo hoo! Here we go, off to work. What a beautiful morning...

This radio station sucks. This one does, too. So does this one. When did the radio get so bad? It's literally the same song on three different stations. I quit, aux cord it is *manages to plug in phone at the red light*. Safety, first.

Yes, finally, my playlist and my music. Much better...

What is that squeaking sound coming from my tires? That definitely cannot be good. I'll have to get Dad to look at that soon because I sure know nothing about cars.

Wait, was that light yellow or green?

I forgot breakfast and now I'm passing every fast food place possible and it all sounds good. Cool, thanks so much world I appreciate it.

Stay in your lane. What are you doing? OMG, people don't know how to drive anymore.

See, I'm using my turn signal like a nice person because how else would you possibly know that I want to get in the other lane?!

Okay, okay, okay, don't panic but there is a family of baby ducks crossing the road. What should I do?! Do I stop? Do I beep? Wow, Drivers Ed did not prepare me for this one. Okay, people are stoping. Thank goodness. Let them cross, they are so cute and fluffy. Wow, be safe, baby ducks!

Almost to work and only five minutes late. That's not too bad. I'll explain the baby duck situation and they will have to understand.

This parking garage is a nightmare, I can't even see around the corner, so I'll just test my luck here. Okay one... two... three... phew it's clear. Yes, what a perfect parking spot. Today is totally my lucky day *parks*.

Wow, that really might be the worst parking job ever but I'm in the lines so that's basically all that matters, right? Another successful trip.

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.
