Planning on driving to see your friends this summer? Here's what you should expect.

Hour 1: You're pumped! You and your friends have been talking about this trip for weeks and creating playlists; now it's finally here.

Recommended for you

Hour 2: “OMG I LOVE THAT SONG PLAY IT AGAIN!" ... And again and again.

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be...

Hour 2 ½ : Your turn to drive, and everyone else is asleep so you subtly try to wake them up.

Hour 3: That one friend has to go to the bathroom...again.

You told them that second coffee was a bad idea.

Hour 3 ½: Are we there yet?

Stop asking.

Hour 4: Throwbacks.

Bring back the '90s.

Hour 5: And we're lost.

Should have used Waze.

Hour 5 ½: Do we have any food?

Where's the nearest Wawa?

Hour 6: The final stretch…time to harmonize.

Remember to give everyone their chance to solo.

Hour 6 and 55 minutes: FIVE MORE MINUTES.

You're almost there

Hour 7: "You have arrived at your destination."

FINALLY!! So who wants to take the train back home?

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
