15 Things You Relate To If You're At Least 18 And Don't Have Your Driver's License

Yes, I'm 18 and I don't have my driver's license. Sue me.

To some, driving is one of the most anticipated milestones in your teenage life.

Driving equates to freedom. Unfortunately, I can not understand how to operate a car to save my life and I can’t go above a speed of 15 mph without being a high risk on the road.

So, here are 15 things you can relate to if driving is literally the bane of your existence.

1) The car simply does not go where you want it to go.

2) Reversing is a lot harder than it looks.

3) Parallel parking? I don't know her.

Yeah, I haven't even parallel parked yet. Enough said.

4) Am I the only one who gets heart palpitations as soon as I get behind the wheel?

Just me? Okay.

5) Driving on deserted roads vs. Seeing another car approaching

 

6) Turning a corner and hoping to all that is good and holy the car does not get scratched.

8) Why are my reflexes this slow?

9) You want me to drive where? To the next neighborhood? I am sorry that is way too out of my range.

10) Driving at 11 a.m. vs between the hours of 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

 

11) I would much rather be driven than drive.

12) Ohhh, I love that song! Too bad I can’t dance to it because if I do, I will surely crash.

13) Three point turn? I don’t know her either.

14) Why won’t the wheels turn where I want them to???

15) I can pass an AP test, write a research paper, and learn a semester’s worth of work in one night but I can’t do a skill that almost everyone on the planet can do.


Seriously, there are kids out here hijacking school buses and I can’t even drive my mom’s car.

I’m done. Thank God for Uber and parents.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
