1. Wear a mask at the airport, on the plane and, even in the bathroom.

I debated including this but I have realized that some people still are not wearing their masks as they should be.

If your mask is not covering both your nose and mouth, you aren't wearing it properly. In order for it to work, you must wear it over both your nose and mouth!

You can make wearing a mask fun by getting a cute one to show off your style or personality. Many retailers are now selling them such as Revolve, Walmart, Target, American Eagle, and many more.

Wearing a mask is the correct and polite thing to do and is highly effective in keeping yourself and others safe.

2. Use only paper documents.

You heard that right. I will not be using a mobile boarding pass. I do not want to have to set my phone on the scanners at security checkpoints and at the boarding gate.

Just imagine all of the places you take your phone and all of the people who are at the airport.

There are millions of germs from all of those people and places. By using a paper ticket I will be protecting my phone and myself from potential bacteria.

3. Pack your own snacks.

By packing my own snacks, I know that my food is safe and has not been exposed to potential bacteria.

I want to be the only person to touch my food.

And, I don't have to worry about whether restaurants are open or not. This protects me and all of the people I would have exposed myself to by trying to order something.

4. Use a throw-away mask.

What I mean by this is that I will be wearing a mask that as soon as I am in my car out of the airport, it will be thrown away. This is so that if my mask has been exposed to anything I will not be exposing myself to it or anyone else who I would have come into contact with while wearing it.

Whether you are planning on flying this month or not until 2021 PLEASE be safe and take appropriate measures!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
