Whether it's a long drive for a family vacation, business, or because you're on the run from the cops, most all of us have found ourselves stuck in a car for a long period of time before. And for those of you who have done both solo journeys and trips with others, you know that it's about 3000 percent more exhausting to travel with a car full of other human beings than it is to travel with just yourself. This past week, I drove a whopping 11 1/2 hours with my two best friends to Nashville, TN in the middle of the night for a little friend-getaway. But that doesn't matter, what does matter is that I decided a lot of the thoughts I was having could be better summed up and complimented by "RuPaul's Drag Race" gifs. So here we are, a list of thoughts I had while driving as told by "RuPaul's Drag Race":
Hour 1:
This drive will be easy.
Hour 2:
We have so many snacks and drinks, it is a literal paradise.
Hour 2.5:
I have to pee right now and the next rest stop is 25 miles away.
Hour 3:
If I hear one more Taylor Swift song I'm going to crash this car. That's it, I'm putting on my music, because I am driving, and no one can stop me.
Hour 4:
I can't believe they took the AUX cord away from me.
Hour 5:
Both my friends have fallen asleep and have left me to drive I-81 all alone.
Hour 6:
I am sick of eating granola bars, chips, and Swedish Fish. I want real, actual, food.
Hour 6.5:
I guess McDonald's is fine.
Hour 7:
Only 400 more miles until we're there!
Hour 8:
This was a terrible idea. I'm so tired. I'm going to die.
Hour 9:
*sings along to the entire "Grease" soundtrack as a coping mechanism*
Hour 10:
Everyone is asleep again.
Hour 11:
We're so close. We're so close to our destination. We're SO CLOSE.
After Arriving:
That was brutal and I can't believe I have to do it again in four days to get back home.
