10 Things You'll NEED On A Road Trip

In This Article:

Everyone loves a good road trip. You grab a group of your friends, and it's time to hit the road. Although, besides a group of your friends, you're going to want a couple of other things with you when you're headed out on a road trip.

1. Killer playlist

Whether it's packed full of oldies or Disney hits, you're going to need something to jam out to. Grab whoever has the best taste in music and plop them in the front seat, they're the DJ for the trip.

2. Snacks

You're definitely going to get hungry, and you don't want to be making a stop every time your stomach growls. Having a stash of snacks will be a GODSEND.

3. GPS

You're obviously going to want to know where you're headed. Whether it's Google Maps or and actual GPS, you're going to want this.

4. A blanket and a pillow

What's a road trip without some sleeping? Grab the coziest blanket and pillow, and get ready to catch some zzz's, (as long as you're not in the passenger seat).

5. Charger and headphones

Of course you're going to end up running low on battery or maybe you just need a way to tune out everyone else in the car (it's bound to happen).

6. A couple of books

There's no better time to catch up on that book you've been meaning to read...unless you get carsick.

7. Disposable camera

These can sometimes be even better than just the camera on your phone. Then getting them developed is the the best part. It's like a little surprise after your vacation is over.

8. Garbage bags

You may not realize how much trash you'll end up with and nobody wants to be stuck with that lying around the car. And you definitely can't throw it out the window. Ever.

9. Water bottle

A reusable water bottle is so easy to fill up every time you stop and it'll keep you hydrated.

10. Comfy clothes

Nobody want's to be stuck in a car in uncomfortable clothing. Putting on those comfy clothes will be one of the best decisions you'll make that entire car rid.

You can't go wrong with these things on your list. You're ready to hit the road.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
