10 Things You'll NEED On A Road Trip

In This Article:

Everyone loves a good road trip. You grab a group of your friends, and it's time to hit the road. Although, besides a group of your friends, you're going to want a couple of other things with you when you're headed out on a road trip.

1. Killer playlist

Whether it's packed full of oldies or Disney hits, you're going to need something to jam out to. Grab whoever has the best taste in music and plop them in the front seat, they're the DJ for the trip.

2. Snacks

You're definitely going to get hungry, and you don't want to be making a stop every time your stomach growls. Having a stash of snacks will be a GODSEND.

3. GPS

You're obviously going to want to know where you're headed. Whether it's Google Maps or and actual GPS, you're going to want this.

4. A blanket and a pillow

What's a road trip without some sleeping? Grab the coziest blanket and pillow, and get ready to catch some zzz's, (as long as you're not in the passenger seat).

5. Charger and headphones

Of course you're going to end up running low on battery or maybe you just need a way to tune out everyone else in the car (it's bound to happen).

6. A couple of books

There's no better time to catch up on that book you've been meaning to read...unless you get carsick.

7. Disposable camera

These can sometimes be even better than just the camera on your phone. Then getting them developed is the the best part. It's like a little surprise after your vacation is over.

8. Garbage bags

You may not realize how much trash you'll end up with and nobody wants to be stuck with that lying around the car. And you definitely can't throw it out the window. Ever.

9. Water bottle

A reusable water bottle is so easy to fill up every time you stop and it'll keep you hydrated.

10. Comfy clothes

Nobody want's to be stuck in a car in uncomfortable clothing. Putting on those comfy clothes will be one of the best decisions you'll make that entire car rid.

You can't go wrong with these things on your list. You're ready to hit the road.

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.
