10 Airport Struggles Travelers Know Too Well

10 Airport Struggles Travelers Know Too Well
thetravelingsaleswoman.com

As a frequent flyer, I cant tell you that there are still many too many struggles travelers experience every time they go to the airport. Here's a fantastic list of my favorites.

1. Trying to calmly go through TSA.

I'm all about security for safety purposes, but come on now. They throw your stuff around, take an unnecessarily long amount of time to look at your undies, and occasionally feel you up if the time is right.

2. Parking

Having someone take you to the airport is a blessing in disguise because I'm lucky if I remember where I put my car keys in my suitcase, much less where I actually parked.

3. Fitting your luggage into a tiny restroom stall.

It's like trying to fit together two puzzles pieces that just don't match up.

4. Terminals

Needless to say, multiple terminals, gates and ways to get to these places is enough to stress me out for the rest of my trip.

6. Fighting your way through baggage claim.

Baggage claim is basically like going to Victoria's Secret when they're having a magical underwear deal.

6. Flying with babies/small children.

I don't feel like an explanation of this one is really necessary.

7. Never finding a power outlet.

Or when you do find one, but of course it doesn't work for some reason, or it's under some random person's chair.

8. When the restrooms/food court are like a mile away from your gate.

You just want Starbucks, but by the time you make it back, your flight could already be halfway to our destination without you.

9. Lining up by number and someone with a higher number tries to cut you in line.

No, you will not take my window seat. Now get in the back.

10. Limited food options.

When you just want Chipotle, but McDonald's will just have to do.

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.
