The 15 Stages Of A Road Trip

Road trips. Some people love them, some people hate them. I, for one, love road trips. It's a great way to spend time with your friends and family and also, you're going somewhere new! Who doesn't like new experiences, right? Here are all the stages of the most fun way to travel!

1. Planning

Where shall we go? What shall we do? Frankly, my dear, I just don't know.

2. Choosing your destination

Yay! You found a spot. Time to start finding fun activities to do when you arrive!

3. Creating your playlist

Car rides are painfully boring with out music. Your inner DJ comes out, and you create the most awesome playlist for your trip!

4. Countdowns

If you're corny like me, you have a countdown to your road trips, no matter where you're going.

5. Packing

It's almost time to leave! You're probably packing too much stuff but, that's totally OK! Now, where did that scarf of yours go?

6. Loading the car

The most intense game of "Tetris" ever.

7. Departure


Time to finally hit the road! Hey, are we there yet?

8. Tunes


Remember that playlist from earlier? Now's the time to channel your inner James Corden and belt out some intense Carpool Karaoke.

9. Finding comfort

Oh no. You've been in the same position for too long, your foot fell asleep, your sister took up the entire backseat, and there's six more hours left in the ride. Help.

10. Snapchat

You have drove far enough away from home to get new Geotags on Snapchat! Why don't the ones from home look this cool?

11. Pit stops


Bathroom breaks, gassing up the car and you can finally get comfortable again This is the perfect opportunity to take up the back seat! Take that, sibling and tingly foot!

12. Almost there


You've drove past the state line your vacay spot is in! Just a few more hours, and you're there!

13. Arrival


YAS! You made it safely, vacation officially starts now!

14. Doing it all over again


Road trip, again! Time to head back home.

15. Home, sweet, home


Your bed is calling your name. You never want to sit in a car for that long ever again.

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.

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.
