11 Things No One Ever Looks Forward To On Flights

There aren't many things to look to on a flight other than the "prime time movies" and, of course, the actual destination which is usual a hotspot resort in some thriving place with much better weather than your own environment. It is entirely about the getaway, but getting there is usually the struggle. There is nothing better than getting out of the airport and starting a vacation, away from all your troubles, nonsensical drama, and even people. But, leading up to that sweet walk of victory, you must go through the hassle of the flight and all the things that everyone dreads.

1. The crying baby that you know you shouldn't but want to punch.

2. The obnoxious sleepers that figure that your shoulder is an armrest.

3. The big group traveling that assumes that the airplane is a coffee shop. NEWSFLASH: People want to sleep.

4. The uncomfortable chairs that we all know have shrunk through the years.

5. The children that watch TV shows as if they have never experienced such amusement in their life and feel the need to shake anything and everything in their sight.

6. Having so many food options on a flight but realizing that they are all unappetizing.

7. Sitting behind people that recline their chairs to the maximum as if they really plan on being more comfortable.

8. The college teams that show up and figure it's just another plane, another practice.

9. The passengers that have taken maybe one flight in their life and believe that turbulence is equivalent to death.

10. Flying internationally and knowing that the stinky, warmed up food will always be yours. Let's face it: you aren't getting that warm, homemade cookie from first class and probably never will.

11. Being put on the fire lane which automatically means no sleep because you can't recline your chair.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
