10 Ways To Kill Time During A Road Trip
Dahlia Keonavongsa

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!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
