6 Must Haves To Make A Road Trip More Enjoyable

Whether you are driving back to school or going on a nice long road trip to any destination, you want your car ride to be enjoyable. It is very difficult to have a pleasant road trip with people and bags all squished together, but there are a couple of things you can do to make the car ride a bit more enjoyable and possibly make the time go by faster.

1. Create different kinds of playlists.

**Note remember to bring your cellphone charger if you plan on playing music.** The playlist can vary. Bring out R&B, pop, house music, and you can never forget about classic rock. The variety of different kinds of music will keep the ride entertaining and possibly even make it go by even faster.

2. Bring good snacks.

This really should be number one on the list because what is an enjoyable car ride without good snacks? Make sure you pack your car to the brim with Goldfish, Watermelon Sour Patch Kids, Cheez-its, any type of potato chips (including BBQ, sour cream and onion and salt and vinegar).

3. Make sure you limit your stops.

Don't make a million stops when it isn't necessary, make one stop in order kill two birds with one stone. Get gas, go pee, get dinner all at one place. This will make everyone much more pleasant to ride with so no one is complaining about one thing at a different time (well hopefully).

4. 100 percent wear comfy clothes.

No one likes driving while feeling restricted, make sure you're in your comfiest getup and you will have the ride of your life.

5. Have a good driver.

Steer clear of those who have sticky fingers (texting and driving); make sure you have the most reliable person behind the wheel and the drive will be stress free.

6. Have a good co-pilot.

You need a techie type of person. They need to be good with GPS, someone who is good at communicating (so they can take the drivers phone calls and text for them), and finally of course someone who understands and knows music better than anyone.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
