Airports are like the mixing pots of personalities. So bear with your fellow passengers, because while one of their personalities may be on the list below, yours just might be too. Here are a few people that you may encounter at the airport and if you haven't noticed them yet, start looking for these signs.


1. The False Alarm Celebrity


You know that one girl fully decked out in a maxi dress, sunglasses, wedges, and a tote bag almost as wide as her floppy sun hat over her perfectly curled hair. You do a double take just to make sure you don't miss the opportunity to take a selfie with Kendall Jenner.

2. The First Time Flyer

You don't even have to assume because they will tell you just as fast as a vegan admits they are vegan. If they clap when the plane lands hold your tongue it's almost over.

3. The Obnoxious Kid

They kick, they scream, and most of all they make sure what little sleep you can usually get on a plane doesn't happen this flight.

4. The Life Story Teller

You bust out a book or put in your ear buds so they might get the hint but nothing slows them down.

5. The Seat Hog


The leg room belongs to them, the armrest is their's also, and last but not least if they need to catch some z's apparently your shoulder is up for grabs too.

6. The Frequent Flyer

They come all inclusive with a blue tooth and a briefcase. Anytime the turbulence is bad they accompany it with some completely absurd story about how they were on a plane that once lost an engine.

7. The Honey-mooners

They are so glued at the waist, the armrest virtually doesn't exist, and they are wearing shirts that say "hubby" and "wifey". Their necks are practically just waiting for their leis once they get to their tropical destination.

8. The Conspiracy Theorist

They spend half the flight trying to identify the Air Marshall or any potential threats. They spend the other half of the flight trying to convince you they are trained and prepared to safely land the plane if anything happens.

9. The Sports Team

They take up the whole back of the plane and sing team chants while parading their newly won trophy around, not to mention every overhead bin is full of sports equipment.

10. The Run Forest Run

Five-minute layover? Better hope you packed your inner Usain Bolt in your carry on.


We've all seen at least one of these personality types at the airport and laughed, if not you are probably a first-time flyer. If that's the case then here's a few words of advice—don't be that person that claps when the plane lands. I promise the plane withstands turbulence almost every flight and lands safely pretty much every time. However, if your pilot safely lands in the Hudson River after losing an engine, then, I'll even join you in the clapping.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
