30 Things You're Thinking While Flying
ABC News

For those of us who have traveled on an airplane, we all can understand a certain amount of stress and heartache that comes with dealing with TSA, delayed flight times and extensive layovers. This list is completely real in that it embodies all of my personal thoughts during my past flights. Although I do love flying and the adventure it entails, there are always (more than) a few things that end up irking me throughout my trips.

Safe travels everyone!

1. I think $25 to check one bag is kind of excessive, but I guess I don't have any other choice.

2. I really hope I don't have any liquid over 3.4 ounces in my carry-on. I do not want to have to throw anything away.

3. I wonder how many other people have been barefoot on this TSA security floor before me.

4. I would get chosen as the random search recipient. I'm so lucky.

5. Why does the price of everything have to increase so sharply past the security gates?

6. I really hope my flight doesn't get delayed.

7. I have to take a train to Terminal A?

8. I wish I could afford those huge first-class chairs.

9. I love having to awkwardly stop the whole line of people boarding the plane in order to heave my suitcase onto the overhead storage.

10. Please don't recline your seat back on to me.

11. There's no way I'm falling asleep comfortably.

12. Babies and airplanes just don't mix.

13. This would be so much better if I could text.

14. This would be so much better if I just paid for WiFi.

15. Why didn't I make sure my phone was fully charged?

16. Elbow. Room. I just love sharing those armrests.

17. Leg. Room. Conveniently, my carry-on is stowed within the small amount I do have.

18. I should've gone to the bathroom before I boarded.

19. Do those airplane neck pillows really make a difference?

20. Who still gives out peanuts as snacks? Where are the pretzels?

21. All airplanes should have personal electrical outlets for each passenger.

22. I'm so BORED. I can only listen to music for so long.

23. I'm either freezing or sweating in here, there is no happy medium.

24. I'm not even doing anything, and I'm exhausted.

25. Aisle seat, middle seat or window seat ... honestly, no one is really winning here.

26. Great, both of my legs AND my butt are asleep.

27. YAWN. YAWN. YAWN. (There's nothing more irritating than not being able to relieve the pressure from your ears.)

28. I'm going to be so upset if my luggage gets lost.

29. How much longer until we land?

30. Everyone, please! Retrieve your luggage QUICKLY and MOVE!

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.
