We all love traveling to new, exciting places, but not everybody can stand the long airplane rides. While some may find the quiet hours perfect for browsing in-flight entertainment or reading a book, others may struggle to keep themselves occupied. So here's a few ideas for a more exciting plane ride:

  1. Turn on airdrop and send your fellow passengers dank memes!
  2. Brainstorm cool names for your future kids.
  3. Think of quickest escape methods
  4. Catch up on your beauty rest
  5. Test the limits of the person sitting in front of you by pressing slowly into their seat with your knees
  6. Imagine up your seat mate’s life story
  7. Unlace your shoe and play cat’s cradle
  8. Try and steal the mini bar shots when the food cart stops next to you
  9. Find shapes in the clouds
  10. Use the airline magazine in the seat pocket for origami
  11. Assume a foreign personality and converse with your neighbor
  12. Read the one book you have on iBooks again
  13. Staring contest with tray table
  14. Hum to the sounds of the airplane engines and see if anyone notices
  15. Try not to sing along challenge
  16. Sneak pictures of sleeping passengers
  17. Open all the drawers in the bathrooms, help yourself to free feminine hygiene products
  18. Prowl the aisles for cute babies
  19. Compare what you see out your window to the digital flight info maps
  20. Count how many snowflakes are on your window

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
