I've always been partial to car rides. I love riding with the windows down and the music blaring and sightseeing along the way. Needless to say, my love for car rides means I haven't spent much time in planes. After flying for the first time, I had some thoughts and feelings that are likely common for anyone trying to navigate their first flight.

1. Do I have everything with me?

2. I hope my luggage doesn't weigh too much.

3. How much will it cost if it's overweight? *checks online* That is TOO much money.

4. I wonder how many layers of clothes I can wear before people will start judging me.

5. Okay, check in went well, now onto security.

6. What if they find something in my bag?

7. There's nothing in my bag.

8. But what if there is?

9. There shouldn't be anything.

10. Act cool, act cool act cool.

11. Why do I have to take off my shoes for security?

12. This is gross. I hate walking around in my socks.

13. Do my feet smell?

14. Can everyone else smell my feet?

15. Okay, metal detector time.

16. Don't beep. Don't beep. Don't beep.

17. Phew, that was easy.

18. Where's my stuff?

19. Found it.

20. Shoes back on.

21. Oh, my god, there are people behind me I'm holding up a line.

22. Don't fall trying to put your shoes on it's okay.

23. Okay, that was more stressful than it needed to be.

24. Now, where's my gate?

25. Gate?

26. Wait, shopping!

27. Of course, I need to buy a magazine before my flight, what else will I read on the plane?

28. And I need gummy worms. Just in case.

29. Five dollars for water? I'd rather dehydrate.

30. Just kidding I'm going to buy it anyways.

31. Wait, is that my flight boarding?

32. Yes, it is.

33. Where's my gate?

34. Okay, do I have everything?

35. Ticket? Passport? Wallet?

36. I found my gate!

37. Now I just need to board.

38. Why do we board so soon?

39. Is that really how small my seat is?

40. There is no space in this overhead compartment.

41. Who am I sitting next to?

42. Okay, they seem normal.

43. Hopefully.

44. This seat is not comfortable.

45. *Baby cries* Oh, no.

46. Okay, ready for take off.

47. How often do those oxygen things actually come down though?

48. But what if this plane crashes?

49. Planes taking off feel like rollercoasters.

50. Okay, but why is this plane so loud?

51. Maybe if I play some music I can get some sleep.

52. How does this seat go back?

53. Oh god I have no idea.

54. Maybe I can sleep sitting upright.

55. *Tries sleeping* Or maybe not.

56. I've never realized how important legroom is until I now.

57. These seats are not comfortable.

58. Okay, just try sleeping again.

59. *Baby cries* Maybe not.

60. How much longer until we land?

61. Oh, wait, we're landing so soon?

62. Time to refasten my seat belt!

63. Darn, now I have to pee.

64. It's fine I can wait.

65. This decent is really making my ears pop.

66. Ouch, you call that a landing?

67. Taking off is better than landing.

68. Okay, now I can stand. Where's my luggage?

69. Why can no one make their way toward the exit? Let's move people!

70. Okay, leaving the plane now.

71. That wasn't too bad.

72. I'd still rather not do it again.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
