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.
