Rooooaaad trippppp!!!!!!!

That might sound like a lot of fun when you think about you and your bestie in a hippie van fully decked out with comfy pillows, yummy snacks, and your own personal driver. However, these situations are rarely reality and instead we often find ourselves commuting long distances alone for work or crammed in the car with our families for way too many hours. Those trips? Not always so much fun. So how can you pass the time in the most productive and enjoyable way possible? These are the things I have learned from making long  car trips for work and making the 8-hour trek home to see my family and friends that help make my journey go quickly.

Let me be real with you… long distance sucks. In fact, it is by far, if not the most, difficult thing I have ever gone through. Now, before that sounds too dramatic, let me acknowledge that there are much, much worse things to go through and I feel blessed that this is what I’ve been dealt. That being said, when you truly find someone you love more than anything in this world, and you can’t always be with them on holidays, to celebrate promotions, to kiss them before work, to hug after a tough day, to talk to in person, to make dinner with, or even to go grocery shopping with… it is undesirable at best, and miserable at worst.
