10 Thoughts I Have At The Airport
Wikipedia, Mumbai Airport

I love traveling. I love going out of the country, I love traveling domestically, I love road trips and everything in between. I basically grew up on a plane, either going to see family or skipping school for a week to travel with my mom on her adventurous work trips. You could say I lived very daringly and adventurously for a small child, but I liked it. I liked that I didn't know what I was going to do or where I was going to go. And even though airports are exciting, there are just so many thoughts going through my head. Not sure why, but it could be because of lack of sleep or too much coffee. Never anything in between (not surprised at myself, though). So in the spirit of Spring Break travels and being stuck in Newark Airport for several hours, let me take you through a journey inside my head. Shall we?

1. "It is too early."

This is the exact reason why I do not take 8 a.m. classes, but for some reason I do the same thing over and over again. Why?

2. "Who knew so many people loved being up this early."

I see so many people at the airport all happy and chipper except that it's 4 a.m. How? No amount of sleep can prepare me for this day. Never ever.

3. "Where is the Dunkin?"

Dunkin is always a must. Their coffee over everything. You know you need Dunkin really bad if you have a mental break down at the gate. The struggle? Yeah, it's kind of real.

4. "If I get to the gate before everyone else does I can have an unhealthy amount of coffee and not be judged. Awesome!"

It's not an option. It's a necessity. Understand that. #CoffeeGangForLife.

5. "Someone took my unassigned assigned seat. Get with the program guys!"

Oh and the awkward part? Going to find your seat, seeing its taken and then standing there like a weirdo looking for a seat. Come on mad, #HowRude.

6. "Where is my boarding pass?"

This happens at least 10 times a trip. I've never actually lost my boarding pass but I've been really close to it. Typical me though, not surprised.

7. "If I hear one more crying baby ..."

Ah, the perfect staple to a flight. The symphony of baby whaling. What a sweet sound. Not.

8. "Why is the flight crew always late and holding my flight up yet they get to skip security?"

I always see flight crew skipping the lines that I have no choice but to wait in, but these people get all the privileges, but they still make me late? Grandma is waiting for me!

9. "I forgot so many things as home. I know it."So. Many. Things. Every single time.

And its funny because I keep checking myself to double check and after I do I still forget things. I have too many things. *sigh*

10. "WHERE IS MY BOAR- okay its in my hand we're good to go. *whew*"


Okay, I'm good. But now I really need to get my life together. This happens way too often.

So in a nutshell, going to the airport is a disaster.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
