10 Essential Items To Pack For Your End-Of-Summer Road Trip

In This Article:

I don't know about you guys, but I start school next week, and I want to go on one last road trip for the summer. I've been on plenty of road trips, and these items always hold tried and true when it comes to packing.

1. Earbuds/Headphones

You know when you're traveling, and all you get is static? Well, take earbuds or headphones with you to watch Netflix or listen to music.

2. Phone Charger/Portable Charger

You're going to be on your phone a lot, so you're going to have to charge a lot.

3. Pullovers

Pullovers, hoodies, sweatshirts — whatever you wanna call them, you've got to have them. They're easy to carry and easy to take off and put back on.

4. Pillows

You can sleep, or you can use it as a cushion for your laptop to get some work done.

5. Notebook/Sketchbook

You might be going somewhere you've never been before, and that's exciting!

You may want to write about the things you see or take pictures and you can keep them in your notebook. You might be an artist, so draw out something cool that you saw along the way.

6. Blanket

... just in case the pullover wasn't enough.

7. Huge Water Bottle

You never know when the next stop will be. Better safe than sorry.

8. Chapstick/Moisturizer

When I travel, I know my face and lips get super dry. So, I take First Aid Beauty and Burt's Bees everywhere I go.

9. Snacks

You'll need these, just in case you can't stop and get really hungry.

10. Your phone

Enough said.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
