The holiday season is full of many long drives whether it be to and from college, or to various relatives all over the place. Here are some in-car activities to pass the countless hours.

1. Sleep

Sleep is a beautiful thing, and with finals coming up soon, you'll need all the sleep you can get.

2. Study

Speaking of finals, now would be a good time to start thinking about that.

3. Crochet

It's easier than knitting, and you can make Christmas presents!

4. Watch Netflix

If you have a lot of data or if your bus has Wifi, you can download the app to your phone! Or, more old school, you could watch DVDs on your laptop.

5. Read

Reading is good for the brain and the soul. Grab a book and see if you can read the whole thing during your drive.

6. Drive

Offer to take the wheel for a bit and give the driver a break. They'll appreciate it.

7. Sew

Grab a felt sewing kit from a craft store and make a stocking! You'll seem very crafty and you'll have a nice time.

8. Talk

Talk to your family, but maybe stay away from more argumentative topics.

9. Journal

If you remember a pen and a journal, you can start writing your memoir like you've always meant to.

10. Color

Less work than journaling or crocheting but still artistic and fun!

11. Shop

Get on the Amazon app and start buying some Christmas presents!

12. Music

Listen to some new artists and songs and relish the free time to enjoy them.

13. Meditate

It's like sleeping but cooler! Practice some mindfulness before you're confronted with extended family.

14. Pinterest

Plan your wedding, look at food, lust over clothes and cry over cute animals. You can get lost on Pinterest for hours, no problem.

Drive safely!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
