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!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
