12 Things to Keep You Occupied on an Airplane
Traveling Jobs Now

It’s summertime and for a lot of us, this means a lot of travel (or at least little). Our childhood excitement leading up to a trip that (let’s be honest) mostly consisted of just being excited to ride in an airplane, is no longer with us. Instead, flying can be a more of a hassle than anything. From struggling to fit all your travel necessities into the smallest carry-on you can find without violating TSA regulations, to sitting in a rigid, uncomfortable seat for hours; trips that involve airports and an airplane can put just about anyone in a bad mood. Not to mention, the boredom that comes from remaining sedentary, in a confined space for hours on end. That’s the hardest part. So, in order to deal with the looming anxiety and discomfort that accompanies ~finally~ reaching your destination, here are a couple things that will help you get through those flights that seem like they will never land.

1. Knit/braid


2. Sudoku/crossword/read a new book


3. Plan your trip itinerary


4. Make a recipe book


5. Fill out your planner for the week


6. Delete unwanted/unnecessary photos and screenshots on your phone and computer


7. Delete spam and unwanted emails in your inbox


8. Clean off your desktop


9. Organize the apps on your phone


10. Add to your bucket list


11. Color in a coloring book

12. Learn to do something new


If you’re like me and like to keep busy, these options will help get your mind off of sitting still for a couple hours.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
