The 11 People You Deal With In Airports/Airplanes

Traveling's a headache, and so are they.

The 11 People You Deal With In Airports/Airplanes
Slate

With the holidays in full swing, there's a lot of people who've been spending a lot of time in airports and on airplanes. Given that I go to school halfway across the country from where I live, I've had my fair share of airports in the recent weeks. As such, I've seen several different people that tend to show up on every airplane/in every airport.

1. The Worker

They're always on their laptop/tablet, they brought their own wifi, and they never looked up from their computer screen, even if you're taking off/landing.

2. Grandma

They're visiting their grandkids in Massacheutts, and they always have a big purse(it's gotta be filled with sweets).

3. The College Student

Characterized by a huge bag, a college sweatshirt, and a newfound lack of humanity.

4. Mom

She's chasing her kids around the airport while they're screaming, and if they get on the plane, they cry...the. whole. time.

5. The Business Man

He's wearing a suit, he's got a briefcase, and he's probably flying first class.

6. First Class Snob

They only ever sit in first class, even if the flight is thirty minutes.

7. The Frequent Flyer

They fly a lot, they know what they're doing, and you can bet your butt they be sure you know that.

8. The World-Class Traveler

They always have their passports, they're always on a connection, and they're always leaving the country.

9. The Hipster

You can tell this one only by their outfit. Scarfs, fancy jacket, weird glasses, and a stylistic carry on. And, um, please be careful with it when I go through security.

10. The Unaccompanied Minor

Anywhere from five to seventeen, this one holds up every line because of paperwork.

11. The Group of Friends

They're traveling together, they have to sit with each other, and they're always loud.

Love it or hate it, we all fit in one of these categories, and have dealt with all of the rest. Good luck, and safe travels.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
