Road trips are a popular thing for people to do during the summer time. People pack up the car and hit the road in hopes of making it to a certain destination on time to enjoy a little bit of a well-deserved vacation. There's more to the road trip than just sitting in a car and riding down various highways to get there. The fun parts of the road trip can come whenever you take a pit stop or see a site that the other people may want to take a look at.


1. Bring Things to Do in the Car

It may become easy for a person to get bored when they are just sitting in a car for a few good hours without nothing to do. Keep a little bag that consists of a few fun items that can keep you occupied while you are in the car. It could be books, a music player, a handheld video game or other various items.

2. Take A Look Around

When traveling to a new place, it's nice for a person to look around at the places they are driving through. if you are passing though a state that you don't visit often, it's nice to see the sites that are available there. Whether it would be just looking at the nature sites or if they would be considered tourist destinations, there is something for you to snap a picture of to capture and remember.

3. Make a List

If you haven't figured out what kinds of things you want to do when you get to your specific destination, being in the car is the perfect time to do so. It gives a person a lot of time to think about some of the things that they may want to do while being in that destination for a few days. These could be possible recreational activities, tourist attractions and other things that may catch an eye of an excited traveler.

4. Play Road Games

If the boredom feels like it really is starting to take a toll on you, then this could be an opportunity to interact with the people that are in the car with you. One can do this by playing some classic road games like I Spy, What am I Thinking About, Car Spotting and a few others.

5. Have A Conversation

Being in the car for a good number of hours means that it's the perfect opportunity to talk to the people that are in the car with you. Whether those people are your own parents or they are really good friends of yours, it's nice to talk to them about current events or about other things.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
