13 Things You Experience While Flying

The security line sucks, but the cost of your pretzels is worse

13 Things You Experience While Flying

Going on vacation seems like the best thing in the world, especially when it only takes a few hours to get where you want to go by plane. Unfortunately, the airport and your plane ride may be ruined by some of these things.

1. Long airport lines.

Seriously when the security line is longer than your flight, you're in trouble.

2.The weird person next to you who doesn't shut up.

You're lucky if you sit next to the cute man who offers you gum.

3. That person who brings their own pasta.

Is it necessary to eat your leftovers at 3:00 a.m. on a plane where everyone can smell your food?

4. The screaming child.

Sometimes you have them on all sides and it's even worse when they're kicking your seat and you're trying to fall asleep.

5. Crying over the dogs you see in the terminals.

If you're lucky you're on the flight with the pup who has to walk up the aisle for exercise.

6. The immediate standing up the second the plane taxis to the gate.


Seriously people you don't need to speed off — there are people in front of you and the door isn't open yet just sit down

7. Having to use the restroom but you're on the window and don't know your seat mates.

Guess you're gonna have to wait.

8. The safety information that no one pays attention to.

9. Sky Mall!


I can't be the only one who spent their entire flight decking out their brand new home with awesome pet and pool supplies. Why did they go out of business?!

10. That person who stands up when the seatbelt sign is still on.

Seriously?

11. The people who IMMEDIATELY make a call.

Bonus points if it is to their significant other to give them a detailed explanation of the flight loud enough for the entire cabin to hear

12. The lady that's freaked out and is terrified of flying.

13. Everything costs money on your flight.


Want the WiFi — it'll cost you. Everything you may want to make your trip enjoyable will come at a price- including the air you're breathing.

While these things seem daunting, a plane is the quickest way to get around and totally worth it.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
