Driving for 18+ hours from Wisconsin to Texas with your four college best friends can be a very fun and exciting road trip, but there will definitely be a lot of thoughts running through your mind.

1. Are we there yet?

This car ride made me feel like a young child in the backseat as I would yell out "Are we there yet?!" every ten minutes.

2. I am beyond tired.

Driving straight through the night with no stops seemed like a good idea until we realized that we needed sleep more than we ever have before. It is important to have one passenger stay awake with the driver at all times just to keep everyone in the vehicle safe and sound.

3. Is there a Snapchat geofilter for this city?

I could not begin to count the amount of times that I grabbed my phone, logged onto Snapchat, and took a random picture just to see if there was a geofilter. And of course if there was, we all had to post it onto our Snapchat stories.

4. Is there a gas station anywhere near?

Chugging coffee at outrageous hours in the morning to help me stay awake did not benefit me when I was doing the potty dance in the car an hour later. The caffeine definitely helps keep everyone awake, but it also calls for more bathroom stops than we hoped for.

5. Could this car get anymore uncomfortable?

Just imagine sitting in one position for eighteen hours in a car full of five girls and their luggage for a weeks vacation. It doesn't sound too pleasant does it? Well I can assure you that it isn't! My back and booty were aching and breaking by the time I got to step out of that car.

6. Haven't we been driving for like twelve days?

The anticipation to get to your final destination makes time crawl like you would not believe.

7. The radio plays the same songs over and over.

Realizing your brand new AUX cord does not work which means you can't listen to the fire playlist that was made just for the car ride is such a disappointment. Most radio stations are either nothing but static or they are playing commercials. And the worst part is, the same songs play over and over and over.

8. I hope the hotel beds are comfortable.

All I could do was imagine laying on a fluffy, king sized hotel bed the minute that we walked into our new room for the next week.

9. What's that smell?

You never know if someone in the car cut the cheese and won't own up to it, if there is a skunk nearby, or if there is some sort of factory that is smelling up the entire car.

10. BEACH! BEACH! BEACH!

In the back of your mind, you know that sooner or later you will make it to your final destination. In my case it was the beach! Picturing myself laying on the white sandy beach next to my best friends while the waves are crashing and the sun is beating down on our skin was something I could not resist. (And of course the hot Texas boys!!)

Never pass up any chance you get to travel and take a road trip with your friends, but be ready for all of the random thoughts that will be running through your mind!
