How To Survive Long Flights From An Experienced Traveler

As summer is winding down, more and more people are traveling back home. For some, it's a great distance to travel so here is a list of activities to let time fly fast.

1. Watch Movies: If you are traveling internationally, it is more than likely that you find yourself staring at a TV screen that is located in the seat in front of you. Downloading movies and episodes before the flight is also another option to sit back and let the entertainment take you away from reality.

2. Listen to Music: Music is a must-have. Whether if it's cleaning the house or writing a term paper, music is a great asset to have in the background. So mix up your playlist and start jamming on the plane.

3. Read: For all the bookworms out there make sure to bring your favorite or current novel you are reading at the time. It is a great way to pass time. Now for all the ones who are not a big fan of reading, it never hurts to pick up a book. So try it, even if it's the category ad magazine that is placed in the seat pocket in front of you.

4. Have a conversation: Traveling with friends or family is a great way to bond, so put that electronic device down and have those meaningful conversations. If you are traveling alone, don't be afraid to introduce yourself to the people sitting next to you. Who knows maybe, you'll make some amazing friends.

5. Eat: I eat all the time. Whether if I am feeling hungry, tired, or even bored I turn to food. When traveling, the flight will probably serve food. For the ones who are not a big fan of airplane food or not wanting to pay for the overpriced snacks they offer, pack your own favorite foods and savor the moment.

6. Download Games: Some great apps to get are: Solitaire, Tic Tac Toe, and Cooking Dash.

7. Sleep: These days, whose not lacking sleep? Take this time to wind down and catch up on your beauty sleep. It's the best feeling when waking up and realizing how much closer you are to your desired destination.

8. Work: Traveling can get you behind with work. Use this time so you won't feel overwhelm when coming back. BEWARE, DO NOT overwork yourself on the plane. You don't want to be over exhausted along with jet-lagged.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
