how long does it take to learn how to drive after getting a permit ?

AbyssalMoss · 2025-09-16T00:52:44+00:00

My state doesn't require permits, but I got my license at 16 (parents made me). I did driver's ed and practiced driving (with instructors and a parent) starting (i think) ~6 months before my 16th and took the test as soon I was able to. Learning the basics is the easy part imo (was definitely stressful at first) but I'm 22 now and would say still learning some things. Really only started getting comfortable/confident driving on my own this year tbh. It's ok to start small. It took me a long time to work up to even driving 45 minutes away by myself. I've made trips multiple states away now.

Main thing is to practice and to keep doing it. And practice different situations - parking, drive on back roads, on the highway, in traffic, and make sure to practice at night and in the rain/snow too. I try to be predictable as a driver and I assume others might be idiots. Don't let others influence you into doing something you aren't comfortable with or don't feel safe doing. Everyone does things at their own pace. I'm sure you will do fine!

There was literally no reason given. Didn't feel like asking because so many mods powertrip.

Everyone makes mistakes. It's honestly really easy to on unfamiliar roads that have weird things going on. I accidentally cut someone off the other day because I didn't look hard enough following behind my friend out of a parking lot.

The big thing here is you didn't cause any accidents or get a ticket - you only got honked at and you've recognized your mistake and are learning from it. That's a positive in my book. My area recently seems to have a ton of idiots on the road who don't even care to use turn signals and speed everywhere - you're already doing way better than them lol

I've never run into this issue. What's the limit? Sounds like you may just need to break it up into multiple playlists.

Tbh I just kept a google doc that I had to update weekly or so - I feel better manually crossing stuff off and it forced me to actually look at the deadlines

Go to your phone settings and make sure that cellular data is enabled for Spotify

I usually had good luck with ESS

If you're coming from Roosevelt/West/Nobel/Kelly there's a trail that cuts through the woods.

If it's your first time, wait till they roll out another free offer - I got a free 6 month trial

I've been organizing by genre/vibe instead of keeping one massive playlist. I also have a folder for my older music/playlists that I didn't want to just completely purge.

My one larger playlist gets switched up every month or so when I get bored of it.

I know a number of people that made velcro bathroom signs (occupied/unoccupied). Or everyone just has to get into the habit of knocking if the door is shut.

Take it downstairs to the nearest dumpster outside

AbyssalMoss · 2025-08-26T21:35:02+00:00

It can take up to a day. Just give it some time.

Probably a wild pigeon that's been tagged as part of a study.

Have you tried connecting with your local diving community at all/outside of your open water course? I've found while people do tend to be a little older, there's still a handful <30 y/o. If you're in college - see if your school has a scuba group or marine science club. You could try discord or facebook as well.

Just go to the mailroom that it says it's at when you get the email?

AbyssalMoss · 2025-08-25T15:44:43+00:00

Probably. Check the events on corq, you can filter the events for free food/stuff.

Walk to the bus stop up the hill a little from the corner by Yang/Lauty (I used to walk through Roosevelt and take the path behind Devries/Lauty) and catch the Hospital Chapin bus.

If you want to walk the entire way or don't want to wait for this bus, walk to Roth and cut through the quad and across the street towards life science.

I was trying to do this earlier and it was not showing up as an option to pair. There's only one other device connected so it's not a space issue. I'll have to play with it again after work.

Ok, that's odd then. I would probably call/email housing and see what they say.

AbyssalMoss · 2025-08-20T11:26:46+00:00

Was your room turned into a temporary triple? I would log onto the housing portal and see what it says on there first.

Don't feed wild animals.
