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.

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.

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.
