13 Thoughts Everyone Has On A Road Trip

In This Article:

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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
