The Worst Place In The Universe (And Reasons Why)

It is one of the worst necessary evils in existence.

Let's face it, the airport is the worst place in the universe, but sadly, it is a necessary evil. Here are a few reasons why you might want to die for the duration of your trip in the airport.

1. Having to remove pretty much everything out of your bag/off your body except the hair on your head.

Although some people might be able to do it, I cannot hide anything in my plastic flip flops. Please don't make me put my feet on that disgusting ground.

2. Having to pay approximately $30 for a bottle of water when you just had a perfectly good bottle get thrown away before security.

Can't we just start making people take a sip at security to see if they die or not? God forbid anyone remain hydrated or try to save a little money.

3. Having to put your phone/iPad on airplane mode.

Seriously? If not turning our phones/iPads on airplane mode will literally bring the plane down or prevent it from taking off, then I'm pretty sure companies shouldn't be selling them anyway.

4. Having to put up your seat and tray table before takeoff and landing.

This is when I want to use these things the MOST. Scary, isn't it - tray tables of mass destruction.

5. Having to shove everything (including your purse) under the dirty seat in front of you instead of being able to hold it in your lap.

Is my purse going to kill someone if we take off and it is in my lap instead of the germ-infested floor? I highly doubt it.

Although there are endless reasons as to why the airport is hell on earth, these are a few that get me the most. I wish I didn't love to travel so much.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
