The 5 Best Things About Traveling With Your Friends
Spencer Nelson

Over the past three or so years I have had several opportunities to take a few trips with my favorite people: my friends! If you've never had the chance to hop on a bus, car, plane, or train with your besties then it's time to break out your best road trip playlists and take off. Whether you're going across the world or across the state, traveling with your best friends is as rewarding to your relationships as it is to your wellbeing. So here are 5 reasons for you to pack your bags and your besties and hit the road.

1. You'll grow closer

Whether you're spending long hours on a plane or taking a short ride in a car, you and your friends will bond! You'll form new inside jokes and have stories you'll remember forever.

2. You'll discover who is neat...and who is messy

While traveling with your friends you'll quickly discover who is a fan of keeping things organized and who treats the entire car as a trash can. You live and you learn.

3. You'll make new memories

During your trip you and your friends will make memories that will last a lifetime. From losing your wallet at a rock climbing facility (yes, this really happened) to crying at the sight of the Eiffel Tower, you and your besties will rehash the good times for years to come.

4. You'll get that perfect shot for Insta

Hopefully your friends have all your best angles figured out, or you find an unseemly talented stranger to take your photos. But if not, the self timer function will alway get you right.

5. You'll have a piece of home with you

Bringing your friends along for the journey is the best way to fight off those homesick blues. With the right people every turn is a new adventure.

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…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, 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."

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.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
