12 Ways To Pass The Time On An Airplane

Because every flight should be a party in the sky.

12 Ways To Pass The Time On An Airplane
Hayley Acord

That time of the year has come again -- spring break! A week of fun in the sun, partying, and traveling. For some, spring break traveling may be a quick drive to the beach, but for me, it's a three-and-a-half-hour flight back to Arizona. Yikes. This is why I've composed a list of 12 things you can do on an airplane to pass the time!

1. Bring headphones.

There's no soundtrack quite like crying babies, coughing passengers, and the loud hum of the airplane engine. However, if that isn't really your speed, you might want to bring along some headphones to play music of your own on the long and grueling fight.

2. Take a nap.

Airplanes are the perfect place to catch some Zs, so if you can, take a nap!

3. Watch a movie.

With three and a half hours to kill, you can watch at least two movies, and who doesn't love movies?

4. Knit a sweater for your cat.

If you don't already know how to knit, that'd probably be your first step. But after you master the basics, spend your time in the sky making a cozy lil' sweater for your kitty cat!

5. Bring assorted deli meats to make in-flight sandwiches.

I'll be the first to admit that nothing says, "Good time," quite like homemade sandwiches. Not only will everyone around you love it when you open that fresh packet of salami, but you'll probably make some new friends if you offer to share!

6. Practice impressions.

The best place to work on impressions of famous or notable people is in a public setting. First of all, people LOVE to hear folks work on their very average impressions while in close settings and second of all, if you're working on your Danny Devito voice on the plane, the passengers and stewardesses can give you honest opinions on your progress!

7. Read One Direction fanfiction out loud.

Truthfully, everyone is a 1D fan at heart. So naturally, the passengers nearby will truly enjoy if you read them 1D fanfiction as in-flight entertainment, because everyone loves a bad boy redemption story starring Harry Styles.

8. Start an in-flight gambling rink.

Add a little fun to your flight by turning it into an in-the-sky Las Vegas. If you're feeling a bit more dangerous, add some high stakes!

9. Have an in-depth conversation with the people sitting on either side of you.

Have a crazy birth story or traumatic childhood experience? Tap the lucky guy next to you and spill all!

10. Karaoke competition.

As a legitimate karaoke champion, I can tell you firsthand that people of all ages love to karaoke the heck out of stuff. So why not?

11. Offer free pedicures until someone accepts.

Not only will you be occupied through the length of your flight, but you'll be thought of as a kind and giving person by offering free in-flight pedicures.

12. Ask people if you can adopt their dads.

You can never have too many dads! Take your flight as an opportunity to adopt more until you have a whole heap of them!

Do any of these fun ideas on your plane and I promise you'll have the best flight of your life!

All the love. H.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
