In all honesty, the first couple of hours of being on the road doesn't seem so bad. Once, what seems like you have done everything, you start asking "are we there yet?" or "how many more hours?" Here are 10 solutions to keep you busy while sitting in the passenger or back seats. Sorry, drivers!

Read your favorite book

Reading

Grab your favorite novel and reread it! If you're like me and get car sick from even reading on my phone, audiobooks are for you. Just sit back and listen.

Karaoke

White Chicks

Not into reading? Scroll down your playlists, pick a song, and sing — or should I say scream — until you lose your voice!

Take a nap

Nap

Feeling tired or even bored? Simply close your eyes because time flies when you nap. You'll be at your destination in no time!

Make sure driver doesn't fall asleep

Passenger

Be a good passenger/friend and keep your driver company while the others in the back are sleeping. Don't worry, in the next rotation it'll be your turn to sleep.

Vlog

vlog

This is for all you aspiring Youtube vloggers. If you don't have a fancy, expensive camera, an iPhone would do. Take videos of everything and anything to capture all the little details from your road trip.

Play the license plate game

Look around

I don't know about you, but when my family and I get super bored this is always the go-to game. It's so funny how competitive the game gets. The real question is, how well do you know your license plates?

Go on your phone

scrolling through SM

This is the perfect time to scroll through social media and play your phone games for hours. No need to touch your phone when you're there, am I right?

Name that song

I knew it

Winner gets to choose the next song! Wait five seconds . . . if you know it, answer!

Mad Libs

Mad libs

Mad Libs are a hit or miss. You'll either laugh until you pee or wonder why this game was ever invented.

 Jam out again and again

Jam out

Finally, you and your friends are so close, yet so far from where you have to be. Blast the volume, turn up the bass and jam out over and over again until you're there!

Finished with the list? Do it ALL over again!

Happy spring break!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
