The Truth About Traveling With Your Friends

It is so much fun, but everyone will get grouchy so be patient.

The Truth About Traveling With Your Friends
Carlye Washington

Over this Christmas break, I decided to drive 12 hours to Wisconsin from Mississippi. We wanted to go skiing, so we just decided to take a road trip. We stopped in St. Louis to take pictures with the arch then proceeded on to Wisconsin.

The drive was long. Not as long as you would think, but we were all tired by the end of it. We had all started getting a little grouchy. By the time we got there, we just wanted to order pizza and go to bed. We decided to play a card game too because why not? We did not have anything pressing for our time.

The first day we chose to explore the town we had decided to vacation to. We spent way more money on cheese than one probably should and got ready to cook dinner for ourselves. We decided to grill and have a family dinner then went to the hot tub.

The second day we decided to go snow tubing, and there is a good chance that one or more people will fly into the snow bank separating the tubing lanes. The skiing day was the most eventful. Four kids from Mississippi learning to ski should be a reality show. Two of us were really good at it and loved it. The other two of us were not so good at it. There was a young boy that ended up helping me maneuver the bunny slope because I couldn't do it myself.

A road trip with your friends will show you a little more of everyones personalities and you are most likely gonna learn something new about them no matter how much you already know. Someone will become the "mom" of the group, and everyone will have a great time. If you ever have the chance to travel with your friends, I 100% think you should.

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.
