  • Hey, everybody.

  • It's Marielle.

  • I have long felt that I have a terrible sense of direction.

  • Like when I'm in the parking lot and the GPS says, go northwest on Route 10 or whatever,

  • I'm like, why would you think I know which way is northwest?

  • What am I, a ship's captain?

  • A Boy Scout earning his orienteering badge?

  • So I take a guess, and it's usually the wrong one.

  • But it doesn't have to be this way,

  • because it turns out your sense of direction is something you can work on.

  • NPR's Andrew Limbaugh looked into this for us, and he has lots of tips for you.
