How to Survive Long Distance Car Trips

This weekend I traveled to a weeding in Atlanta, Georgia. Now I know what your thinking why not fly and the answer is sad but one I am sure you can all relate to. I am a broke college student meaning I will try to save money anyway I can even if it means a long and boring car ride that lasts hours on end. This being said there is always a way to try and make these car rides less boring and just for you guys I am willing to share some of the ways I survive these trips without completely dying on the inside. First and most important if you can try to car pole with someone else it can make a trip more enjoyable in so many ways. Some examples of the benefits of car poling is having someone to talk to or play car games with to help the time fly by, but the most important benefit especially in long road trips is someone to take turns driving with. Secondly if you are car poling or not a good playlist is a must have for very simple reasons. Reason one jamming out on the radio helps time go by and keeps you from becoming a zombie driver who can barley stay awake. Reason two if you rely on the radio depending on the distance of your drive there is no promises the stations you know will continue to work or even play the music that you love. Third and most importantly make as many stops as you need to make it to your destination comfortably and safely. Some reasons why I stop to stretch, get food and use the restroom. Another important reason to stop though in my opinion is for gas I can not tell you the amount of times I have been on the interstate and someone thought they could make it to the next gas station just to end up calling Triple A or a towing company. Its not worth the hassle to try and be a hero and push your gas tank to the last second be smart about it guys and do not end up being that driver sitting on the side of the rode with no gas.
