The day every college student has been waiting for since they moved into college in August, spring break. For anyone traveling some place tropical the only convenient way to get there is by plane. Whether you are scared of flying, hate tight spaces or love the rush you get when flying the one common ground we all have is the random thoughts that go through our heads when flying.

1. There is no way that bag will fit in the overhead compartment.

2. I honestly would hate to be a flight attendant.

3. That baby better not cry.

4. Is anyone famous in first class?

5. I wonder if anyone has become part of the mile high club in this bathroom?

6. I better not get stuck in the middle of those two people.

7. If the food cart hits my elbow one more time.

8. Please don't put your butt in my face when you store your bag in the overhead compartment.

9. Let's be real no one listens to the safety instructions.

10. You think they will let me drink even though I am underage.

11. Crap, where is my gum?

12. Holy crap we are about to take off.

13. Keep kicking my seat, I dare you.

14. Please leave your overhead light on so you can "read your book" not trying to sleep or anything.

15. Please don't try and talk to me.

16. Where are my headphones I can't take this anymore.

17. I'm going to get so much work done on this flight, I'm an academic weapon.

18. Jokes, time to watch some movies.

19. Turbulence... oh god I'm going to die.

20. I want something more than peanuts... What do you think I am? An Elephant?

21. Sure, let me get up one more time so you can pee.

22. I wish I got the window seat.

23. I literally can't feel my butt from sitting so long.

24. I wonder if he knows I can see his texts.

25. Just my luck that I would be next to the world's most annoying person.

26. That baby literally needs to shut up.

27. I wonder if this plane is missing its left Phalange.

28. This is so uncomfortable.

29. This picture of the sky is so Instagram-worthy.

30. Can you please stop coughing?

31. This plane needs to land.

32. I wonder if you flush the toilet if your butt will get stuck to it.

33. On that note... Where does the pee go?

34. Yes! Finally, we landed.

35. Wait why do we have to wait so long to get off the plane.

36. Pretending to text someone on my phone so this isn't awkward.

37. We can't all get up and get our luggage at the same time.

38. Literally get your butt out of my face!

39. I really hope it is warm outside.

40. I might cancel my flight home and stay here forever.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
