Personally, the only reason why I can stand driving is the fact that I can belt with no external judgment. Through my voice cracks and the occasional attempted harmony, singing in my car is essentially a part of my daily routine. While I am aware of the benefits it has on my mood, there are plenty of other health-related advantages to singing in the car.

1. Singing in the car releases chemicals that stimulate your brain.

Surprisingly enough, your brain releases chemicals including serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin to give you the feeling of a natural high. Singing in the car provides a free source of happiness and positivity on your way to school, work, and anywhere else you venture throughout your day.

Singing in the car boosts your muscular health.

No matter the quality of your voice, you utilize your lungs and chest muscles when singing (especially when belting). By consistently exerting force through these body parts, you are essentially giving them a workout which will make them stronger and healthier.

Singing in the car reduces the speed of brain aging.

By continuously exercising your brain with the memorization and learning of lyrics, your brain receives a workout which keeps it healthier for a longer period of time.

Whether you are professional singer or just a musical-advocate, singing in the car reduces stress and puts anyone in a better mood. Personally, I find that Broadway songs and ballads are the most fun to (attempt to) sing. I recommend creating a playlist of your favorite songs to belt and shuffling to get in the zone. My Spotify playlist is teeming with belt-worthy music, so you can check it out for examples.

Without further ado, be safe and sing your heart out.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza.

I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
