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

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.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
