Surviving My First Week Driving Solo to Work: Small Wins & Big Lessons

This week was my first time driving myself to work every day, and wow—it was a rollercoaster! The quiet morning roads were a blessing, but leaving work in heavy traffic was nerve-wracking. I learned to calm my nerves by singing along to my favorite songs, taking deep breaths, and making sure I was hydrated and fed before driving. Parking is still intimidating, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come. Meeting friends for dinner and having my own ride home felt empowering. Anyone else remember their first week driving alone?
