When flying isn't an option, many University of Alabama students drive from campus back to their homes. If you're like me, the drive takes up an entire day and is a pretty big mental commitment as well. Here are some things anyone with a long enough commute (especially students driving up I-65) can relate to.
1. This won't be too bad.
2. I'm already yawning. Crap.
3. How am I gonna make it?
4. Do I have enough to think about to last the entire drive?
5. There is not enough coffee in the world for this.
6. Oh, wait, there might be.
7. So this is what a "trenta" is.
8. I feel like I forgot something...
9. Crap — yeah, I forgot something. But I'm too far away to turn back. Great.
10. It's really hard to play road trip games by yourself.
11. Wow, that's a lot of road kill.
12. This playlist I made is great. Maybe I should be a professional DJ.
13. What's that one song I really want to listen to called ... oh, well.
14. I need a cooler car to do these roads justice.
15. Wait no I didn't mean that - please don't break down on me - I love you the most.
16. Look at me: I'm a driver, DJ, and a copilot. I should get paid for this.
17. I don't even need a copilot.
18. Wait — was that the last gas station for 21 miles?
19. My current location might actually be "the middle of nowhere".
20. At least it looks nice.
21. So what am I gonna do what I get home?
22. What am I gonna eat?
23. Some nice looking goats.
24. That's a lot of cows chilling under one tree.
24. Not even sure what kind of animal that other one was.
25. Is it too late to drop out of school and raise farm animals?
26. What song is stuck in my head right now?
27. ...seven-seven-three two-oh-two *beep beep boop beep* Luna!
28. Should I have asked to see if anyone from my area needed a ride home for break?
29. Nah my car dance moves are too good to be seen by other people.
30. Wow, gas is expensive.
31. *adds "Gas Station Gift Cards" to wishlist*
32. Wow, America is so pretty.
33. Am I there yet?
34. What's the speed limit?
35. Eh, it's more of a suggestion anyway.
36. Will Mr. Brightside ever get old?
37. It's after 9 a.m. ... carpool lane here I come.
38. When was the last time I stood up?
39. When did gas prices jump up 50 cents?
40. Hahaha, Tennessee Fans.
41. Siri: "Continue on I-65 North for 285 Miles" ... %*#&!
42. Stop interrupting the best part of my songs, Siri.
43. When did all of these bugs get all over my windshield?
44. What state am I in?
45. I guess Armadillos are in Indiana now.
