Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. However, I tend to be the person that either overpacks or underpacks her bag. I either have way to much stuff to fit in my bag, or I left like three things at home that I needed. I wanted to make a list of the things that you will need for almost any travel trip. Whether it's a short trip to the beach or getting on the airplane to go around the world, here are 10 items you need to take with you.

1. Headphones

This one is major important for me! I'm a big music person so if I forget my headphones on the plane, it's game over. Make sure you take some with you!

2. Cash

I've learned that it's always good to have some cash on hand. Almost every place takes a card, but you will find that one time where you need cash to pay for parking, food, or souvenirs.

3. Rain Jacket

The weather is always a little crazy so bring a jacket just in case it does rain!

4. Toiletry Bag

This is literally so helpful. It's a great bag where you can just store every bathroom thing you use and a major thing to not forget on your trip!

5. A Book

I love being on my phone and all, but sometimes, I need to put it down and read a book! This makes the travel time go a lot faster!

6. Tide To Go

Don't know about you, but I always manage to get something on my clothes when I go on a trip. Tide to go is like my BFF. Gets the stains right out!

7. Laundry Bag

I normally just take a garbage bag with me on a trip, so I can put all my dirty clothes in it when I'm coming back home! That way you can separate your clothes, and just wash the ones you wore when you get back!

8. Sneakers

Take some sneakers that are comfortable!! Pretty much any trip I have gone on, we are normally walking around a lot. Sneakers always are super good for long walks and your feet with thank you.

9. Phone Charger

Don't forget it!!

10. Medicine

I always manage to get headaches when I'm in the car for too long or on the plane. Take some pain medicine with you just in case you need it!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
