learn how to drive stick-shift
Just go for it!

People had tried to teach me stick shift, but I never had the motivation to learn. Then I randomly bought a stick shift car. That taught me! You can’t be afraid to stall out. The first day I had the car, I stalled out about 20 times in the high school parking lot picking up my sister. Embarrassing, but I can laugh about it now :)

Alternatively, you could try the trick that my uncle used to teach my aunt. He gave her a lesson, parked the car on a hill, stood behind it, and told her to go. She swears that she learned in one try.



Dance in the rain
Night of my life!

My sister picked me up one night, and while she was waiting she had the stereo blasting in the parking lot. While I was waiting for everyone else to get in the car, I started dancing, barefoot, with the guitarist from the band that was playing that night. Pretty soon there was a big group of us dancing in the rain. Eventually we left, but we had had so much fun that we pulled over in a parking lot on the way home just to dance some more!
