Is flying ever an enjoyable time?

Back to school season means getting ready to get back on campus. For a lot of students, that means having to hop a plane and fly away from home. While it can be fun to travel, especially if you are with your friends, the flight process can be frustrating. Delays, miscommunication, and personal agendas can all get in the way of a smooth flight, and these are just some of the constant struggles.

1. Carry-on luggage

No one wants to pay checking fees when they don't have to. Whether you sneak your way into an earlier boarding group or you are just that lucky, you make sure you get some overhead space.

2. Making that luggage fit

If you are able to get some room for your luggage, you will stop at nothing to make it fit (even if it means getting a little creative and playing a real life game of Tetris).

3. The unpredictable seating arrangements

I think this situation is pretty self explanatory. Sometimes you are happy and sometimes you are not.

4. Preparing for landing

While yes, maybe you were asleep for the past 4 hours, the whole airport doesn't have to know it! If you like freshening up on the plane before landing, you understand the struggle. Powder flying everywhere, turbulence messing up your mascara, and realizing you left half your makeup bag at home.

5. Being exhausted after sitting for a few hours

For some reason, getting off the plane is more exhausting than catching your flight.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
