The Perfect Playlist For Your Drive To Syracuse

I'm from Philadelphia. My drive to Syracuse is about four hours of straight highway, cutting vertical through Pennsylvania into New York. If you're also driving to the University, from whichever direction, you're likely to pass the same sights: green-covered mountains, rustic little upstate towns, miles, and miles of farmland. Such a scenic drive calls for a playlist soothing enough to match the tranquility but upbeat as the excitement of heading back to school. However long your commute, here are the best traveling songs for your drive to Syracuse University!

2. Maps by The Front Bottoms

There is a map in my room, on the wall in my room, and I got big, big plans

3. Somewhere in the Mountains, Somewhere in New York by The Tallest Man on Earth

4. Another Travelin' Song by Bright Eyes

5. Roadhouse Blues by The Doors

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1897
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
