What is in your carry on? Often times when we go to an airport we forget things or find ourselves having to buy extra things to make the many delays that are to come more bearable. Airports are ridiculously expensive for this reason and if you are not an expert flyer it is hard to choose where to even begin. So, here is what I have in my carry on, packed and ready to go for this Spring Break, take a peek!

Gum and snacks

Flights can be long and tiring, but having a few small snacks such as a granola bar or a bag of chips is great to have on hand. Gum is always the key to popping your ears from the pressure of the increasing altitude.

Good Book

The best way to kill time on a flight is to bring a good book along and block out all the noise around you. A Kindle is easy to travel with and gives a lot of options in case you are a fast reader and want to bring multiple books along with you.

Laptop

Movies and TV shows can be easily purchased and downloaded to watch later on your computer in order to entertain you during the flight. Also a laptop is good to have if you are a student traveling or have things to do for work.

Headphones

Typically, during a flight, listening to music is very helpful to me to keep me calm. Noise canceling headphones are the best way to limit the loud noise of the plane and patrons around you. By bringing your own comfortable headphones you don’t have to buy the crappy $5 ones they sell to you that only work for about an hour.

Change of Clothes

My mom always tells me, better to be safe than sorry to be over prepared than under prepared. Sometimes suitcases can be misplaced and take a day or two to arrive to where you are, therefore packing an extra change of clothing a smart idea in case this ever occurs.

Large Scarf

Bringing along a big scarf that can double as a blanket is a great way to look stylish yet stay warm during your flight. In the past I have carried around a paper thin blanket that never kept me warm, but now that I have discovered that.

Toiletry pouch

Aside from packing all of your essential toiletry items in your suitcase, be sure to include a small pouch of items such as: face wipes, make-up powder, headache reliever, tooth brush and tooth past, tissues, small lotion, and chap stick.

Eye mask

My music typically puts me right to sleep, so an eye mask helps me stay asleep when my seat neighbor wants to have the window open during a morning flight and the rising sun is blinding.

Portable Charger

With all the technology we have today, it is a good idea to bring along a portable charger in case of emergencies. Traveling takes a lot of time and you never know when you might not have access to an outlet to charge your cell phone, iPad, Kindle or laptop.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
