Sometimes, you just need to get away from everything and have some girl time. You need to have those giggle sessions, boy rants and junk food. What better way to do that then get in the car and drive? Inspired by recent events, here are my five essentials for the best road trip with your girlfriends.

1. Coffee.

So you’re packed and ready for a girl’s trip. Gotta start off with good old coffee. Personally, this doesn’t apply to me because coffee makes me shaky in a bad way. However, coffee is an essential for most. If its two hours or five ahead of you, some caffeine is necessary if you get tired easily.

2. Snacks.

You might be into packing your own snacks, or maybe you prefer picking up some food on the way. Either way, eating is a necessity. A personal favorite from my girl Emily is anything covered in chocolate. Pretzels, nuts, chips, you name it. BRING IT ALL.

3. Music.

This makes or breaks the road trip. You have to have the right music. Whether you’re feelin’ girly pop or hardcore rap, singing along with your friends in the car is one of the main reasons for going on a road trip. A personal favorite of my friends and me is our home girl Taylor Swift. Or if you're like my friend Holly, you go hard for Ariana Grande.

4. Boy talk.

This one is inevitable. When getting together with your girlfriends, boys always come up in the conversation. However, when adding Taylor Swift in the background, an extended amount of time apart from said friends and a four-hour drive, you can cover a lot. There’s nothing better than laughing about boys with your girls.

5. Getting somewhat lost.

You have to have some sort of adventure, right? And if I’m driving, there’s an 100% chance we’re taking a wrong turn somewhere. But hey, that’s kind of the fun part! Better yet, start driving with no specific idea of where you’re going. If you feel like being spontaneous, go for it. Isn't that kind of the point of a road trip sometimes?
