5 Tips To Make Traveling Terrific
Emma Epperly

It seems as though everyone LOVES to travel. All those Instagram posts with creative travel captions about vacays, jet setting, and adventuring. I am guilty of it, just like most 20-somethings. However, that really does not accurately depict the reality of traveling. It is long hours in the airport binge-watching a mildly entertaining Netflix show and eating crappy food. Don't even get me started on middle seats, chatty plane buddies, and crying babies. So in order to fully enjoy your next extremely Instagramable travel experience, here are 5 tips to make your long travel days just a little bit better.

1. Dress in your best cute comfy outfit and make sure to bring a sweater

Every time you fly you see a pretty and obviously successful women dressed in their business best with those ridiculous pumps on that cannot be comfortable but you are slightly jealous. So wear something cute enough to make you feel confident but comfortable enough for you to relax. We all forget how cold planes and airports can be so bring a sweater that can also double as a nice little blanket or a pillow if necessary.

2. Bring a water bottle

This is something that we discount all the time because you can't bring liquids through security. But, bringing a water bottle when you travel helps you stay hydrated and keeps you from relying on your flight attendant for that. It also makes the post flight blues a lot better.

3. Do not forget the extra batteries

Banking on your flight to have outlets is a risky decision. Make sure to bring a battery phone case or a little charging stick for your Kindle. There is nothing worse than your phone dying and then having to sit and listen to the guy sitting next to you's music.

4. Download all of your favorites.

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Kindle, Audible and even Youtube have downloadable content that you can access anytime anywhere. Spotify, Apple Music and Soundcloud all have downloadable options as well. Never again do you have to be stuck on a plane with nothing to watch, listen to, or read.

5. Make the best of your travel experience, no matter what comes your way.

So much of life is about your attitude. If your flight gets delayed? Find the best restaurant in the airport. You miss your flight? Catch up on some work, read the book you've been meaning to read, or buy some tacky souvenirs. Make the best of traveling because it's not only the destination that matters but the journey as well.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. 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.
