Embrace those spontaneous roadside photo shoots.

Be on the lookout for friends sleeping...

Dive into deep conversation.

You've got nothing but time together to discuss your dreams and goals. College can be overwhelming with choosing a major, career, friendships and relationships, so take advantage of the time and dream together with your friends. Pick their brains and get their thoughts on things.

However, most importantly, enjoy it! You may take a wrong turn (although thanks to Google Maps this does happen quite as often as it use to) or have car trouble (but hopefully not), but that's just part of life. Sure, you'll have bumps in the road along the way, but you've got the best people around you to walk through it with you. Regardless, it will make for a great story one day!
