Place your random thoughts.

My mom taught me what all the stuff on the dashboard of the car does and which things to push or press and turn and all that. Then I drove back and forth in the driveway a little, not pushing on the accelerator but just using the brake and switching between reverse/drive.

I wonder what my neighbors thought of that...

I'm so scared though. I'm terrified I'm somehow going to lose control and panic and run into something or someone. Driving is too stressful how do people do it?!?!

Don't be scared! Once you get used to it, it'll be like second nature. The only part of driving I really hate now is going on the interstate (which I've only done twice; once so that I had experience before I took behind the wheel, and then once during behind the wheel) and going over this bridge on my way to the SPCA that overlooks the interstate.

Just start slowly, like in a parking lot or something, and work your way up. Good luck!

relax!!!! it took me like two weeks after getting my permit to actually drive on the road, haha. it's honestly not that bad, the thing i hated most when i was starting out was people getting right on my ass even though i was going the speed limit i swear on my life it happened every time i went to drive for four months.

just stay calm and go at your own pace. i started out in a parking lot on a sunday afternoon to learn how responsive the brake and accelerator were on my moms car. from there i started out on roads 25 mph then went from there and now the only part about driving that i hate is that i have to leave my room bc im so lazy :u

Time has been going by so fast lately.

Yeah, they say when you get older, time feels faster because you have more experience in things and more aware of things. That's why when you were a child, everything seemed to went by a lot slower, because you were't around long enough to experience things. also with old people, time seems to go by so quick. I feel like time is going by fast, first I was at freshmen orientation, now I'm a junior (tbh, I'm still suprised I'm already halfway through high school). Idk if all this is correct, this is something I heard about a while ago.

I've heard that too. I'm surprised it's going by as fast as it is already, I'm only 16 after all. :0
