5 Must-Haves On A Plane

Summer break is right at our fingertips!

5 Must-Haves On A Plane
BBC

I just came back from failing my CSE 101 exam. As I sit in my room thinking about what a failure I am (it's okay, I'll get over it!!), I was thinking, 'What could possible make me a happier person?' Well, I also just found out that I'm traveling to Korea this summer, so I thought about that and it immediately made me happy! What should I pack? What should bring back? When do I need to start losing weight?

A lot of people ask themselves these questions before they travel, so here are my top five travel essentials!

1. Skincare

If I could only bring one item on the plane, it would be skincare product(s). It sounds extra and unimportant, but getting off a plane without using skincare products is a tragedy. The plane literally sucks all the moisture out of your skin on the plane and to compensate for the dryness, oil replaces all the moisture. Which is gross. My suggestion? At least a face mask and moisturizing facial mist. That way whenever your face is feeling dry you can just spray and you're good to go.

2. Headphones

I know this is a bit obvious but it is extremely important. Especially these beats by Dre. They block out most noises and they help keep your ears from popping. Not to mention they are wireless AND make any airport outfit look poppin'!

3. Melatonin/sleep essentials

This is essential for any flight longer than 5 hours. Without these two things I have no idea what I would do on my flights. Most of my flight is going to Korea, which is a 13-14 hour flight. Not only do I get very bored, I also get extremely nauseous, to the point where I don't eat on the plane or else it's coming back up. With one Melatonin pill, I sleep at least six hours which is basically half the ride!

4. Book(s)

This may sound silly, but I only ever bring one book, the same book, on any flight I've ever been on. No matter how many times I've read it, I always bring it on the plane with me. Which book? "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." What an odd book to bring on a flight, I know, but this book for some reason gives me wanderlust and gets me excited for wherever I go. Not to mention, it's such a good book time that goes by super fast!

5. Slippers/fuzzy slippers

Lastly, for comfort: slippers. Or anything to make your feet feel comfortable. Unless you are riding first class for each flight, I suggest you bring some comforting slippers because boy, is it squished in there. With slippers you can easily take them off when it gets a little hot in the plane, and simply put them back on when it's cold. With shoes, it's much more complicated because not only is it uncomfortable to put them on and take them off, there is also a risk of them smelling!

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.
