The Struggles Of Being Directionally Challenged
favim

I knew I had a problem when I would get lost on the way to my own house. I knew I had a problem when I grew up in a city I couldn’t navigate without my GPS to save my life. Here are 11 struggles of being directionally challenged.

1. None of your friends want to drive with you because they want to be there on time

2. Turning down the music to focus on directions

3. Nobody wants to be in an operating vehicle with you because you genuinely have no idea what’s going on

4. You took the highway and got off at the exit after the correct one and so you had to drive for about ten minutes before there was an option to make a U-turn and now you're angry

5. There has been multiple emotional breakdowns on the road after missing your turn

6. You use landmarks as points in which you must turn but when you come from a different direction you are suddenly so very lost

7. You cannot help direct anybody to anywhere because you literally just don’t know

8. When your relatives come to town and you have to whip out your GPS in your own neighborhood

9. When you’ve been down the same road for more than 20 times but you still use Maps because you can never be too sure

10. Getting lost in every single apartment complex you've ever entered

11. Thinking about whether you're directionally challenged or just blind

If you can relate to any of these I will send a prayer your way. God bless the directionally challenged; may your GPS always be speedy and your gas always affordable.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
