Teaching My Sister How To Drive

IT IS TERRIFYING

Teaching My Sister How To Drive
Grown and Flown

While being back home there is one question my little sister keeps asking me...

"Megan, can we go driving? I want to drive."

My sister recently got her permit, and now loves to drive around just learning. So as her older sister, she begged and pleaded for me to take her driving. So how can I say no to that?

So while back home, I have been taking her driving a lot, which has probably been the most terrifying experience in my life.

My dad has taught my sister how to drive for the most part, granted she still has a problem with turns and slamming on the breaks. The one thing my dad didn't get to teach her yet, is how to parallel park.

First off, I can't begin to tell you how much I despise parallel parking. So teaching someone how to do it, wow. Not the easiest thing in the world.

She would get mad at me for turning and invisible wheel while she would try to park, and I would get mad at her when she magically ended up in the middle of the street instead of parking the car.

Her other weakness is the possibility of children being on the sidewalk. Anytime there is a possiblity of a child of coming a foot near the road, my sister drives 5 miles per hour.

I could go on and on about how weird her driving habits are and all the fights and yelling that happen in the car because she didn't stop fully. But the end of the day there is one thing that I will always go back to when she struggles pulling into the garage. When she looks back, she will remember the times her big sister took her driving.

Living across the country, I miss a lot of my little sisters life, so having these memories to share with her, is really important to me and special.


So Kelsey, if you are reading this (which you better be), although I may complain, and I may not be the best big sister at the time, I really love hanging out with you and taking you driving.

But don't let that get to your head.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
