There has never been such a good time to take a road trip as this summer! Since international travel is still up in the air, why not plan a fun and exciting road trip to explore more of your own country! Here is a list of 6 road trips from all over the USA. No matter where you live, adventure awaits!

Pacific Coast Highway (California State Route 1)

This is an image of the famous Big Sur along the Pacific Coast Highway in California.

It is a perfectly sunny day at Big Sur as the cars drive by the beautiful coast line with its blue waters.

This might be one of the most famous highways in America. Not only because of the location in sunny California but the views are breathtaking! It runs between Los Angeles and San Fransisco. Another high note is the famous Big Sur.

Route 66

The Route 66 emblem is nothing short of iconic.

Whenever I think of a roadway in America I think of Route 66. It is truly iconic. This road spans between Chicago, Illinois and Santa Monica, California through 8 states.

US Route 1 (Florida)

Although US Route 1 goes along most of the east coast I think the Florida portion is truly unique. A road trip along the Florida coastline is like traveling through the Caribbean with its clear water, sand beaches and warm air. This portion of the US Route 1 crosses over a lot of water and even connects to the Florida Keys.

Blue Ridge Parkway

The Blue Ridge Parkway has beautiful scenery and overlooks the whole way.

The Blue Ridge Parkway runs between Virginia and North Carolina in the range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The scenery is beautiful year around and so is the weather!

Route 12 (Utah)

State Route 12 passes through 2 national parks in Utah.

State Route 12 is a very unique road trip. Not only is it contained within one state but, it passes through both Bryce Canyon National Park and Capitol Reef national park. The scenery of the red rock formations is astounding and, this would be a completely different road trip if driven in the summer and then in the winter!

Hana Coastline (Hawaii)

This is an image of an overlook on the Hana Coastline in Hawaii.

The Hana Coastline goes on for miles with its beautiful views of luscious plants and sparkling waters.

The Hana Coastline is the perfect escape from the bustling mainland. It showcases Hawaii's black sand beaches, sparkling waters, luscious greenery and even a waterfall or two. What more could you ask for in a road trip?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
