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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
