14 Spring Break Road Trip Events You Can Bet Will Happen Somewhere Along The Way

123rf

Road trips, you either love them or hate them. Either way — and with Spring Break right around the corner — you are guaranteed to relate to something on this list one way or the other. Buckle up and enjoy the ride because chances are this will be you within the next couple of weeks!

1. Are we there yet?

We all have asked this at least 200 times during a long car ride, and to be honest I'm not sure if we will ever stop.

2. It's a classic conundrum... you realize you need to use the bathroom right after you passed the closest rest stop in a 20-mile radius.

A true tragedy.

3. The feeling you get when you make it into a new state

You're lying if you say you don't whip out your phone to capture a pic of the state sign for Snapchat.

4. Speaking of Snapchat... checking out all of the geofilters when you hit a new city.

Why does literally every other town and city in America have a better one than your hometown??

5. But when you get stuck in major traffic... yikes.

Especially in Atlanta/Alabama on your way to the Sunshine State.

6. And the struggle is real when you have to dig through all of the unnecessary junk you packed to try and find that one thing you need.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

7. Honestly, the struggle is real with packing everything into the trunk

"Yes, Mom, I do need 14 different pairs of shoes for our eight-day vacation. You never know, OK? Keep trying!"

8. The absolute sheer horror of when you run out of snacks

Code red the end is coming and I'm not talking about the end of the trip. Drastic measures may be taken.

9. When you've listened to all the music on your phone and still have 200+ miles to go

No what will you do to pass the time? You can only listen to God's Plan so many times in one trip.

10. When your mom won't get off the phone

Its probably been going on for an hour or so and you can't contain your energy much longer

11. The one party pooper who doesn't like the music or the singing along to it

This one's for you, Dad.

12.The absolute relief you feel when your feet touch solid ground

Finally!!! It's time to stretch and get this vacation started!!

13. Playing car games

You gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to the license plate game, iSpy, or the ABC game.

14. The feeling of sheer horror you get when the driver slams on the gas

"Jesus, take the wheel!"

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
