An Airport Is By Far The Best Place To People Watch

We all end up at an airport and on a plane at some point in our lives, whether we like it or not.

Airports are some of the most peculiar places on the planet. Some of us love the thrill of being high up in the air, but if you're like me, you've got anxiety that is through the roof. No matter how you're feeling, you are most definitely not alone. I promise you there is something to take your mind off of it, that something being the people.

The amount of people in an airport at one time is insane. I mean, think about it, the average plane has around 140 people on it at a time and there is honestly too many gates in an airport to even count. This means the cycling of people in and out of the airport is tremendous. Which leads to the question, have you ever people watched at an airport before?

The people who walk past you at an airport are all different and all from different places. This takes people watching to an all new level of interesting. The stuff that you see people do or hear them say will definitely catch you off guard.

I've been sitting at the Baltimore airport for 2 hours now waiting for take-off and here are a few embarrassing things that I have seen so far. A man tripped on his own bag and fell, someone cussed out the guy at the gate, 6 children on leashes, a man spilled his milkshake all over his shirt, and the craziest of conversations you could imagine. Talk about entertaining.

Also, never be scared to talk to the person sitting next to you on the airplane. Some of the conversations I've had in this position I will never forget. It is such a great learning experience and so interesting to learn where others are from and hear their stories.

People who say airports are boring have no idea that all they need to do is put the phone away and take out the earbuds. Every time I fly I honestly look forward to seeing all the people around me. I promise the best show is right in front of you, there is nothing more entertaining.

Pro tip: When traveling always make sure you have hand sanitizer on deck and don't touch anything you don't absolutely have to! Airports are one of the top-rated dirtiest places out there.

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
