11 Airplane Dont's

Just stop

11 Airplane Dont's

As more and more people travel during the summer, airplanes get more crowded. Airplanes can be comfortable, that is if you are paying for first class seats. For all the people who have to sit in coach, this is a list of things that you should not do and hopefully, you do not encounter them either.

1. Talking at the highest possible volume you can.

Let's be real no one wants to hear what you have to say on an airplane. Everyone wants to listen to music, watch TV or read a book. You are annoying everyone around you by talking out loud so please just don't.

2. Kicking or nudging the seat in front of you.

The seat is mine, it is not yours. Yes, you may have access to the back of it but that doesn't give you the right to touch it in any way. I understand an occasional bump but as soon as it happens more than twice you will be receiving a glare from me.

3. Push the seat back as far as possible.

We get it your seat can recline, congratulations so can everyone else's. Just because you recline it, it doesn't mean you can make it more comfortable. It changes nothing so if you could just do it a little or not at all that would be lovely.

4. Keep getting up to use the bathroom when sitting in a window seat.


People do not want to continuously get up for you. Make the bathroom trip once or twice if it is a long fight.

5. Babies...

Though they can be cute, they're annoying. Where are you taking your baby? It's a baby leave them at home and take a nice vacation alone.

6. Bringing smelly food onboard.

I understand, you're hungry and airplane food sucks. Can't you eat before the flight? No one wants to smell your food especially because we can't eat it.

7. Out loud bodily functions.

Farting, burping, anything along the lines of gross should not be done out loud during flight. Go to the bathroom-- it is that simple.

8. Opening the window during a night flight

Just because it's dark outside doesn't mean that it still doesn't shine a light in. Close the window!

9. Lights on during night flight.

Literally just turn it off. You're annoying.

10. Lack of deodorant.

You know you're going to be on a plane for hours around a bunch of people. We don't want to smell you, so please be hygienic.

11. Overhead bin hoggers.

Don't overstuff your bag. Don't put both bags you brought on in the bins. There is limited space so take what's yours and no more.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
