30 Things You're Thinking While Flying

Thoughts that nearly everyone has or can relate to when it comes to the process of travelling by airplane.

For those of us who have traveled on an airplane, we all can understand a certain amount of stress and heartache that comes with dealing with TSA, delayed flight times and extensive layovers. This list is completely real in that it embodies all of my personal thoughts during my past flights. Although I do love flying and the adventure it entails, there are always (more than) a few things that end up irking me throughout my trips.

Safe travels everyone!

1. I think $25 to check one bag is kind of excessive, but I guess I don't have any other choice.

2. I really hope I don't have any liquid over 3.4 ounces in my carry-on. I do not want to have to throw anything away.

3. I wonder how many other people have been barefoot on this TSA security floor before me.

4. I would get chosen as the random search recipient. I'm so lucky.

5. Why does the price of everything have to increase so sharply past the security gates?

6. I really hope my flight doesn't get delayed.

7. I have to take a train to Terminal A?

8. I wish I could afford those huge first-class chairs.

9. I love having to awkwardly stop the whole line of people boarding the plane in order to heave my suitcase onto the overhead storage.

10. Please don't recline your seat back on to me.

11. There's no way I'm falling asleep comfortably.

12. Babies and airplanes just don't mix.

13. This would be so much better if I could text.

14. This would be so much better if I just paid for WiFi.

15. Why didn't I make sure my phone was fully charged?

16. Elbow. Room. I just love sharing those armrests.

17. Leg. Room. Conveniently, my carry-on is stowed within the small amount I do have.

18. I should've gone to the bathroom before I boarded.

19. Do those airplane neck pillows really make a difference?

20. Who still gives out peanuts as snacks? Where are the pretzels?

21. All airplanes should have personal electrical outlets for each passenger.

22. I'm so BORED. I can only listen to music for so long.

23. I'm either freezing or sweating in here, there is no happy medium.

24. I'm not even doing anything, and I'm exhausted.

25. Aisle seat, middle seat or window seat ... honestly, no one is really winning here.

26. Great, both of my legs AND my butt are asleep.

27. YAWN. YAWN. YAWN. (There's nothing more irritating than not being able to relieve the pressure from your ears.)

28. I'm going to be so upset if my luggage gets lost.

29. How much longer until we land?

30. Everyone, please! Retrieve your luggage QUICKLY and MOVE!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
