Whether it's a long drive for a family vacation, business, or because you're on the run from the cops, most all of us have found ourselves stuck in a car for a long period of time before. And for those of you who have done both solo journeys and trips with others, you know that it's about 3000 percent more exhausting to travel with a car full of other human beings than it is to travel with just yourself. This past week, I drove a whopping 11 1/2 hours with my two best friends to Nashville, TN in the middle of the night for a little friend-getaway. But that doesn't matter, what does matter is that I decided a lot of the thoughts I was having could be better summed up and complimented by "RuPaul's Drag Race" gifs. So here we are, a list of thoughts I had while driving as told by "RuPaul's Drag Race":

Hour 1:

This drive will be easy.

Hour 2:

We have so many snacks and drinks, it is a literal paradise.

Hour 2.5:

I have to pee right now and the next rest stop is 25 miles away.


Hour 3:

If I hear one more Taylor Swift song I'm going to crash this car. That's it, I'm putting on my music, because I am driving, and no one can stop me.

Hour 4:

I can't believe they took the AUX cord away from me.

Hour 5:

Both my friends have fallen asleep and have left me to drive I-81 all alone.

Hour 6:

I am sick of eating granola bars, chips, and Swedish Fish. I want real, actual, food.

Hour 6.5:

I guess McDonald's is fine.

Hour 7:

Only 400 more miles until we're there!

Hour 8:

This was a terrible idea. I'm so tired. I'm going to die.

Hour 9:

*sings along to the entire "Grease" soundtrack as a coping mechanism*

Hour 10:

Everyone is asleep again.

Hour 11:

We're so close. We're so close to our destination. We're SO CLOSE.

After Arriving:

That was brutal and I can't believe I have to do it again in four days to get back home.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
