10 Types Of People At Airports
WTTW

We have all been there, whether we are running to catch a flight or sitting waiting for the plane to arrive, everyone has experienced the wonders of an airport. Both large and small, these dwellings have a knack for hosting a range of people and personalities. Here are 10 types of people you are likely to see at an airport.

1. The Runner

I don't think I've been to the airport without seeing someone rush to their gate. There is always someone that shows up super late and holds up the whole plane, please don't be that person.

2. The Tired Mom

I always feel bad for the tired mom with six kids, trying to find their gate, shush the crying baby and stay sane all at the same time. The airport is not an ideal place for kids!

3. The Super Nature Dude

There is always that one guy with fifty pounds of gear on his back, on the way to a back-packing trip. This person also smells kind of weird and wears everything Patagonia.

4. Electronic Savvy

I will never understand how someone can use a cellphone, laptop, tablet and at the same time talk on the phone with an ear piece. This person is probably one of the most annoying in airports because they talk so loud and hog up all of the outlets.

5. Fancy Pants

This person is probably the most amusing to me because even in big airports, with complicated security checkpoints and long walks to their gate, this person still decides to wear six-inch heels and loads of jewelry. On top of that, they feel the need to spray tons of perfume/cologne and give everyone headaches. I don't know about y'all, but I would not use my Michael Kors bag at an airport where things are easily stolen.

6. The Talker

The second most annoying is the person that feels the need to have long conversations with you even when you're obviously trying to sleep or listening to music. The worst part is when they start talking about politics and how Trump is going to "take this country back" and "make America great again." I can't.

7. The Curious Little Kid

I love it when little kids ask me a hundred questions, touch my stuff and spill orange juice on my furry blanket...not. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, but not at airports.

8. The Coordinated Family

There is always that family that has matching luggage and matching outfits and it kind of makes me feel like I need to step up my organizational skills.

9. The Sleeper

I don't understand how people can deep sleep in busy, loud airports! Whether it's on the floor or the uncomfortable seats, they always find a way to sleep.

10. The Confused One

That person that wanders around the airport not knowing where they're going or how to follow the signs. The funny part is that this person refuses to ask for help.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
