10 Ways To Kill Time During A Road Trip

In This Article:

In all honesty, the first couple of hours of being on the road doesn't seem so bad. Once, what seems like you have done everything, you start asking "are we there yet?" or "how many more hours?" Here are 10 solutions to keep you busy while sitting in the passenger or back seats. Sorry, drivers!

Read your favorite book

Reading

Grab your favorite novel and reread it! If you're like me and get car sick from even reading on my phone, audiobooks are for you. Just sit back and listen.

Karaoke

White Chicks

Not into reading? Scroll down your playlists, pick a song, and sing — or should I say scream — until you lose your voice!

Take a nap

Nap

Feeling tired or even bored? Simply close your eyes because time flies when you nap. You'll be at your destination in no time!

Make sure driver doesn't fall asleep

Passenger

Be a good passenger/friend and keep your driver company while the others in the back are sleeping. Don't worry, in the next rotation it'll be your turn to sleep.

Vlog

vlog

This is for all you aspiring Youtube vloggers. If you don't have a fancy, expensive camera, an iPhone would do. Take videos of everything and anything to capture all the little details from your road trip.

Play the license plate game

Look around

I don't know about you, but when my family and I get super bored this is always the go-to game. It's so funny how competitive the game gets. The real question is, how well do you know your license plates?

Go on your phone

scrolling through SM

This is the perfect time to scroll through social media and play your phone games for hours. No need to touch your phone when you're there, am I right?

Name that song

I knew it

Winner gets to choose the next song! Wait five seconds . . . if you know it, answer!

Mad Libs

Mad libs

Mad Libs are a hit or miss. You'll either laugh until you pee or wonder why this game was ever invented.

 Jam out again and again

Jam out

Finally, you and your friends are so close, yet so far from where you have to be. Blast the volume, turn up the bass and jam out over and over again until you're there!

Finished with the list? Do it ALL over again!

Happy spring break!

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.
