13 Thoughts Everyone Has On A Road Trip

Road trips can be convenient because you have your car once you get to your destination and it might be cheaper than a plane ticket. However, whether it's worth it or not is a topic that is always up for debate.

This past year I've been on numerous road trips with friends. I'm on a road trip right now from Tallahassee, FL to Dallas, TX. (Why did I agree to be in a car for 13 hours? Let me know). I find it funny how every road trip, I go through the same thought process along the way.


1. I'm definitely going to leave by 8am! *leaves at 9:15am*

2. This is going to be so fun! I'm so excited to spend time with my friends!

3. *a few hours in* Are we there yet?

4. I'm hungry. Let's stop and get some food! *gets food* 

5. *30 minutes after food* Wow. I need to use the restroom, but don't want to say anything! 

6. *15 minutes later* Okay I HAVE to go to the bathroom. NOW. 

7. I know my gas tank is on "E" but I really don't want to stop. I'll go another 20 miles. Is doesn't actually mean my gas tank is empty. Right?

8. Are we there yet? We've got to be close!

9. This is getting really boring, really quickly. 

10. I don't want to play the "license plate game" anymore!

11. Somebody get me out of this car. 

12. I should have just bought the plane ticket. 

13. Seriously, are we there yet?

Don't get me wrong. I love going on trips with my friends and I would road trip every weekend if it was the only way I could travel! Also, you're crazy if you enjoy road trips.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
