The 10 Most Annoying People To Sit Next To On an Airplane

"This is your pilot speaking. Will you all kindly STFU?"

Which one are you? 

1. Nervous Nellie: Nervous Nellie hates flying and believes her prayers and positive thoughts are the only reason your plane hasn't dropped out of the sky yet. She constantly asks you, "What's that buzzing noise?" and "Does it feel unusually bumpy?"  

2. The Crying Baby: This baby must be lamenting for all the sorrows in the damn WORLD. How else could she cry for three hours straight? You want to give the parents dirty looks and/or the middle finger but you control yourself because, come on, it's just a baby. 

3. The Frequent Urinator: Thanks to some eff-up by American Airlines, the Frequent Urinator got the window seat. Which means every time he has to get up to use the bathroom, you need to get up too. Hope you weren't too comfortable. 

4. The Armrest Hog: He doesn't understand that three people/three armrests = one per person. He'll use two armrests and stick his hairy elbows so far out that they jut into your ribs. 

5. The Overly Friendly Old Person: Grandma Ethel is cute but she won't stop asking you questions ("What are you studying, honey? Do you have a boyfriend? When are ya'll getting married?"), hindering your ability to focus on The Lego Movie. 

6. "I'm Sorry, I'm Hungry": He teeters down the aisle with a bag of Five Guys, a slice of Sbarro or a box of Bojangles. As he sits down, he gives you an apologetic look like, "I know you want to vomit because the plane now smells like sh*t, but I'm sorry, I'm hungry." 

7. Snorlax: You're going to assume he's narcoleptic because he spends the flight hunched over, snoring and drooling down the front of his shirt. Ew.

8. The Emotional Reader: Why is the 16-year-old-girl next to you sobbing? The Fault in Our Stars should be banned from airspace. 

9. i'mSpecial: For some reason, this guy thinks his iPhone's exempt from 'airplane mode.' You see him continuing to send texts as the plane takes off and think, "Oh great, now if we crash it's because of this guy." 

10. Flatulent Fred: Dear God, Fred, just hold it in.

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.
