This past Wednesday I went on a road trip with my best friend and another friend of ours to a conference in Nashville, and then drove back to Michigan that same night. This experience was one of the best memories I will carry with me through the rest of my life from my college years.
1. It's freaking fun.
2. Interstate freeways are the best places to test out your vehicle's speed capabilities.
3. It's a great way to bond with people.
4. It's a great way to see the country.
5. It's a great way to make memories.
6. It's a great way to try great food you can't get at home.
7. You get the bragging rights of whatever distance you drove, especially so if it's through the night (such as I did).
All of this being said, driving 16 hours half of which was completely overnight was one of the most strenuous things I have ever done. If you do this, be sure to prepare yourself adequately and budget fairly for red bull.
