Some of us tend to get nervous before boarding that metal bird whether it is for holidays or vacations. Here are 6 tips that will help you ease your anxiety.

Do your research

Sometimes it's better to face the truth and look up the facts ourselves. Researching facts about airplanes and safety may help you ease your nerves.

Remind yourself you're not the only one traveling

When you're at the airport, take a look around you and see how many people are getting on a plane. You're not the only one traveling and hundred percent likely not the only one nervous about it!

Dramamine is your best friend

Dramamine helps with not only feelings of anxiety but also with motion sickness. Make sure to take one before you board!

Talk about your anxiety

Whether it's your parents or best friend, be open and honest about how you feel. If they have no advice to give you, I'm sure just letting yourself be open helps ease your nerves.

Talk to a flight attendant

Flight attendants are not just trained to give directions on how to use an oxygen mask or buckle a seatbelt, but they're also there to comfort you!

Enjoy the flight!

Sometimes it's best to look at the positive side of things. Tell yourself that wherever you're going, people have gone and an awesome journey awaits you!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
