My Foolproof Flight Checklist For Every Time I Step On A Plane
Briann George

These last couple years, especially since going to college, I have been on airplanes going places more frequently and I have picked up a few key items I always have with me along with some travel day tips and tricks.

Check the weather

My first step before I begin to pack is to check the weather of the location I intend on traveling to. This will help you sort out the types of apparel you may need.

Make a list

Personally, I am a list person. Once I write it down it down it almost guarantees I won't forget it. It also helps me stay organized with all of the this I think I will need and that way I can pack my carry on properly to ensure everything will fit.

Bring an empty water bottle

Staying hydrated is essential to your everyday living and when you're embarking on a long travel day it can be forgotten. Therefore I always bring along an empty water bottle so that I can be reminded to drink water. It will also help reduce future costs of over prices drinks in the airport or perhaps your destination.

Bring noise canceling headphones

These are my holy grails for any flight. Headphones are a must to let yourself stay distracted on planes. Yet I would highly encourage you to invest in noise canceling headphones, they are a real game changer. They block out the annoying sounds of your flights. I often will even put my headphones on without any sound just to block out the noises so I can sleep.

Wear your biggest jacket

I always try to wear my biggest articles of clothing on the plane so that I have more room in my carry on. This usually means I will throw on my sweatshirt and an outer layer jacket. Wearing a big comfy jacket is also used in more than one way because you can use them as a jacket or pillow on the flight as well.

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.
