8 Reasons Why Road Trips Are the Best

Get your closest girls (or guys) or your boyfriend (or girlfriend) and make the plans to go!

2. Get the funds for the trip

You can’t really leave home without that cash-money, and you can’t do anything on the trip without it. Plan what you’re going to spend and make sure you’ve got what you need. Hopefully your bank account can survive the withdrawals.

How long will it take you to get there, and who’s going to drive? Are you taking a bus? Can you walk? Make sure you figure that part out.

4. Set your destination

Do some research! What city is having a festival? Where have you been hoping to go but never did? Now’s the time!

5. Head out for your grand adventure!

Make some stops on the way, laugh and take lots of pictures! Trips like this don’t happen every day, so make sure you make the best of it!

There you have it! The perfect guide to having the perfect road trip! Get out and do something fun this summer! It’ll go by faster than you think.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
