Road trips are fun. Road trips with your best friend are even better. There are so many fun and exciting things that go on before, during, and after these fun and spontaneous trips with your best friend!

The Adult Parts

First, you have to be an adult and make all the arrangements. That means booking a hotel room, or finding a campground, splitting the pay, deciding which car to take, taking care of the planning for when you get to said location, and all the other boring parts about it. It’s usually once you get past the mundane details that you get to the fun stuff!

Keepin' it Simple

One thing I particularly enjoy about these spontaneous road trips, are the fact that there is no rigid schedule we need to follow. Having a sort of “go with the flow” vibe throughout the trip usually makes it less stressful and more enjoying.

Making a Playlist

Creating a long playlist full of a mix of random tunes is one of my favorite parts hands down. It’s fun gathering together the best of country jams, rap songs, pop tunes, current hits, throwbacks, and everything in between for one ultimate playlist. It’s good to have a nice mix of songs so you don’t get bored with a certain genre too quickly!

Packing

Some might throw this category in with the adult part (since packing isn’t exactly fun), but I give it a separate category since it’s not exactly that stressful. This is the time when you figure out how to cram the multiple swimsuits into a small suitcase while also packing other essential clothing items.

The Junk Food

You gotta love the insane amount of fast food, slim jims, licorice, chocolate bars, and potato chips you’ll be eating throughout this road trip. I always love packing up with fun snacks you can dig into once you’ve been on the road for awhile!

Goofy Pics Taken

You and your best friend can take as many selfies, Snapchats, and all sorts of other goofy pics that you want without any judgement. In fact, I know I’ll be packing my selfie stick for this one!

Discussion of Your Next Trip

It’s always a bummer when it’s over and you got back to your same old routine at home. But the good news is, you guys will probably already be planning for your next trip together!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
