15 Travel Mistakes You Don't Want To Make This Summer

Most people would tell you how to travel the right way. But I'm here to tell you what NOT to do. Keep these tips in mind the next time you're travelling.

1. Pack the night before

And stay up all night doing it so you won't have a good night's sleep.

2. Don't empty any of your water bottles

So that way going through security will be a longer process and airport security will think you're a criminal. (:

3. Bring as much as possible on the plane with you

So you have no legroom when you have to shove your giant backpack under your feet.

4. Always book yourself the middle seat

Because armrests are overrated, am I right?

5. Leave for your flight less than an hour before

Because it's fun being in a rush and almost missing your flight, and you'll get a ton of exercise!


6. Don't even fold your clothes just shove everything in

So your suitcase will be impossible to close- it will be a fun challenge to see how much you can fit before breaking the zipper. And don't forget, it's a great full body exercise.

7. Drink as much coffee as possible

So you'll have to pee several times the entire flight and annoy those next to you.

8. Don't charge your phone

Don't charge it, don't bring a portable charger. In fact, don't even bring a phone charger, because you can have a nice, quiet flight- no music or apps to keep you occupied. You won't know what time it is, you won't be able to contact anyone, you'll be completely unaware of everything and probably very bored.

9. Wear sandals

Being barefoot at airport security is fun right?

10. Wear tons of metal jewelry

So when you get to security you have to take it all off.

11. Don't buy food or water

Because the one cup of ice water and one bag of small pretzels that the airline provides is enough to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger.

12. Don't check flight updates

You will be completely unaware if your flight is delayed or if there was a gate change. Ignorance is bliss, right?

13. Wear flip flops, a tank and shorts

Once the air on the plane comes on, you'll be shivering the whole flight. But that's okay because when it's warm for .2 seconds, you'll be prepared.

14. Book your flight as late as possible

So you can't avoid the high prices and your bank account WILL suffer.

15. Don't bring a travel pillow

Because who needs to be comfy on the flight?


With these tips, you'll have a very unpleasant travel experience! Try them out and let me know if you get good results.

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.

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.
