13 Things You Experience While Flying

The security line sucks, but the cost of your pretzels is worse

13 Things You Experience While Flying

Going on vacation seems like the best thing in the world, especially when it only takes a few hours to get where you want to go by plane. Unfortunately, the airport and your plane ride may be ruined by some of these things.

1. Long airport lines.

Seriously when the security line is longer than your flight, you're in trouble.

2.The weird person next to you who doesn't shut up.

You're lucky if you sit next to the cute man who offers you gum.

3. That person who brings their own pasta.

Is it necessary to eat your leftovers at 3:00 a.m. on a plane where everyone can smell your food?

4. The screaming child.

Sometimes you have them on all sides and it's even worse when they're kicking your seat and you're trying to fall asleep.

5. Crying over the dogs you see in the terminals.

If you're lucky you're on the flight with the pup who has to walk up the aisle for exercise.

6. The immediate standing up the second the plane taxis to the gate.


Seriously people you don't need to speed off — there are people in front of you and the door isn't open yet just sit down

7. Having to use the restroom but you're on the window and don't know your seat mates.

Guess you're gonna have to wait.

8. The safety information that no one pays attention to.

9. Sky Mall!


I can't be the only one who spent their entire flight decking out their brand new home with awesome pet and pool supplies. Why did they go out of business?!

10. That person who stands up when the seatbelt sign is still on.

Seriously?

11. The people who IMMEDIATELY make a call.

Bonus points if it is to their significant other to give them a detailed explanation of the flight loud enough for the entire cabin to hear

12. The lady that's freaked out and is terrified of flying.

13. Everything costs money on your flight.


Want the WiFi — it'll cost you. Everything you may want to make your trip enjoyable will come at a price- including the air you're breathing.

While these things seem daunting, a plane is the quickest way to get around and totally worth it.

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.
