Embarking on a road trip this holiday season? No need to dread the drive. I’m here to give you a few tactics on how to make spending hours in a car a little less miserable.

  1. The good old drugging yourself with NyQuil or Melatonin.

Because what’s better than opening your eyes and being there already?

 

2.             Make a road-trip playlist on your phone.

Because let’s be real…who doesn’t like to dramatically stare out the window and pretend they’re in a music video?

 

3.             Bring a bag full of snacks.

Because what better thing is there to do than eat when you’re bored?

 

4.             Bring your laptop to watch movies.

Because what more entertaining way is there to pass 2 hours?

 

5.             Read a book.

Because who doesn’t love to get emotionally attached to fictional characters?

 

We hope these tips help you stay entertained during the next road trip you find yourself taking.
