Road trips are a popular thing for people to do during the summer time. People pack up the car and hit the road in hopes of making it to a certain destination on time to enjoy a little bit of a well-deserved vacation. There's more to the road trip than just sitting in a car and riding down various highways to get there. The fun parts of the road trip can come whenever you take a pit stop or see a site that the other people may want to take a look at.


1. Bring Things to Do in the Car

It may become easy for a person to get bored when they are just sitting in a car for a few good hours without nothing to do. Keep a little bag that consists of a few fun items that can keep you occupied while you are in the car. It could be books, a music player, a handheld video game or other various items.

2. Take A Look Around

When traveling to a new place, it's nice for a person to look around at the places they are driving through. if you are passing though a state that you don't visit often, it's nice to see the sites that are available there. Whether it would be just looking at the nature sites or if they would be considered tourist destinations, there is something for you to snap a picture of to capture and remember.

3. Make a List

If you haven't figured out what kinds of things you want to do when you get to your specific destination, being in the car is the perfect time to do so. It gives a person a lot of time to think about some of the things that they may want to do while being in that destination for a few days. These could be possible recreational activities, tourist attractions and other things that may catch an eye of an excited traveler.

4. Play Road Games

If the boredom feels like it really is starting to take a toll on you, then this could be an opportunity to interact with the people that are in the car with you. One can do this by playing some classic road games like I Spy, What am I Thinking About, Car Spotting and a few others.

5. Have A Conversation

Being in the car for a good number of hours means that it's the perfect opportunity to talk to the people that are in the car with you. Whether those people are your own parents or they are really good friends of yours, it's nice to talk to them about current events or about other things.

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.
