Did someone say summer road trip? There is no better way to spend time with the people you absolutely adore than driving with them for hours on end. Whether you are road-tripping for only a few hours or a few days, nothing beats an adventure with memories that will last a lifetime. There are some necessities that you would absolutely need to get you through the car ride.

1. Food

Food! Preferably, junk food. Potato chips, Oreos, candy, the whole nine yards. You don't want to keep stopping for a little bite to eat, so pack the goods. Keep your energy up.

2. A rocking playlist

Car jams are the best jams. A great playlist to rock along to while you make your way to your destination is an absolute must. Sing along to your favorite songs, sing along to your least favorite songs. Car singing doesn't have to be good. You aren't trying out for American Idol.

3. Neck pillow

Stiff neck? No thanks. Nap comfortably, my friends.

4. Reliable car

Preferably a car that is good on gas mileage and is, as I'd like to say, healthy. We wanna get from point A to point B safely.

5. Beverages

Stay hydrated. But be wary of the multiple bathroom stops you will have to make along the way. Plan accordingly.

6. Camera

Capture these moments. You'll want to look back on these days when you are older. Also, you can never have too many pictures!

7. Great company

It's the people that make the experience. Friends can make what could be the worst experiences some of the greatest memories. Friends make every adventure a grand one and they make every memory a memorable one.

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.
