Traveling is something I anticipate every year however as excited as I may be, before a trip, I definitely get stressed. Travelling comes with a lot of baggage, no pun intended. When travelling anywhere, comfort is my first priority, especially if it's a long trip. As I prepare for my 15 hour flight, here are seven travel tips that I follow to make my flight as enjoyable as possible.


1. Wear glasses instead of contacts

Wearing contacts while flying isn't ideal because your contacts will dry up once you're at a high altitude. It's much easier to wear glasses.

2. Check in for your flight online

Checking in for your flight saves you time at the airport and allows you to avoid waiting in line. Carriers like Delta allow you to switch your assigned seat with any extras available once you check in.

3. Always travel with gum

Whenever I'm flying, I always have to have gum to avoid my ears from popping. It's better to buy some from your local grocery store than to realize you need it on the plane.

4. Never forget your headphones

Headphones are very important when going on a trip. Carriers like Southwest provide in-flight entertainment, but watching TV in an airplane without headphones disturbs the people around you.

5. Have a blanket with you

I always seem to be cold in an airplane, so I make sure to have a blanket or jacket with me in the air. Sometimes airplanes will give you one, but it's always better to have your own.

6. Have snacks for the airport and flight

As someone whose flight has gotten delayed many times, it is always best to carry around foods and snacks. Airport food is always expensive, and airport security allows you to take food with you. Make sure not to bring water with you because it will be taken during security checkpoints.

7. Wear minimal amounts of jewelry

Jewelry at an airport is never ideal, especially if it is expensive. During security, you will have to take it all off, and it's better to save yourself the trouble.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
