Over the summer, many of us will embark on a road trip. Some far, some short, but really any extended amount of time in a car can qualify. Recently, I took a fourteen hour road trip up to Montana. There were some parts that were really fun, and others that made me feel like jumping out the window would be better than sitting in the car for another hour. I think everyone who has traveled across several state lines sitting in a seat hardly bigger than their body has the same feelings on the never ending drive to their destination.

1. The excitement of going to a new place.

2. Getting pumped and having an in-car dance parties.

3. Awkward silences.

There is only so much you can possibly talk about with the same people for an entire day in the car.

4. Waving to other drivers to see who waves back out of pure boredom.

5. Eating an unreal amount of junk food on the road.

6. Napping for hours in hopes that when you wake up you'll already be there.

7. Hoping that you don't hit any traffic or construction on the way.

8. Feeling like you're going to fly off the road when your friend is driving 90 miles per hour.

9. Hitting rock bottom and trying to solve a Rubix Cube.

Not kidding- I've gone on so many road trips where these have come in handy. Unlike Justin Bieber, however, I can never actually solve them.

10. Seeing other cars that have out of state license plates and knowing that you're in the same boat.

So here's to the wonderful places that can only be seen from the car and the people that make the road trips the best part. See you on the road, fellow roadies.
