Long road trips are something to look forward to as well as something to dread for a few main reasons. I recently drove from Orlando, FL to Lynchburg, VA by myself. Needless to say, I have a love-hate relationship with long road trips. Here are the variety of emotions that a long road trip entails, as explained by Taylor Swift.
1. Hour one: the excitement
The beginning of a road trip is one of the most exciting parts because you still have no idea how tired you are going to get in the upcoming hours.
2. Hour two: concert time
3. Hour three: race time
4. Hour four: ticket time
Practicing your surprised look for if you get pulled over for speeding. "I had no idea I was going that fast, officer..."5. Hour five: bathroom break
Having to rush to find the next exit because you have been waiting to use the bathroom for the past forty miles. Finding a McDonald's has never been so relieving.6. Hour six: passing hour
When you have to pass the car that has been going twenty-five miles under than the speed limit. #SorryNotSorry
7. Hour seven: dream team
It is nice to be around the same few cars for a couple states. Unexpected friendships are the best, especially on such a long journey.8. Hour eight: Siri's constant instructions
When the map reminds you every ten feet exactly where you are going to turn. "OKAY I GET IT, I WILL TAKE EXIT FORTY FOUR IN EXACTLY THREE TENTHS OF A MILE."9. Hour nine: "What is life?"
10. Hour ten: ALMOST THERE
11. Hour eleven: insanity
12. Hour twelve: it's the final countdown
"You have arrived at your final destination." The sweet, sweet taste of victory.Growing up on an island, I never really went on road trips, so it was a fun twelve hours with a few ups and downs. Remember to drive safely, never stop listening to T-Swizzy, and do not text/tweet/snap and drive!
