Airport Struggles as Told by Twitter

Some people must really hate airports.

Airport Struggles as Told by Twitter

So I am currently at the airport and still have 45 minutes before I have to board my plane. What better time is there to write an article about airports than now? Here are airport experiences as told by the twitter account 'The Airport Struggle' (@airportstruggle). (The authors of this account must be very, very annoyed with flying though so just keep that in mind:


1. When your airline doesn't welcome you.

In my experience, this only happens when flying within the US or at least from the US. Everywhere else that I have flown from, they greet everyone. The US needs to step up their game.


2. When you get hungry.

I just had a burrito bowl and it was only slightly more expensive than at Chipotle.. plus you could totally get a salad or smoothie at most airports. Your decision, Mr. The Airport Struggle.


3. Dress for success.


True. No one has time to dress nicely when you're going to sit in an airplane for 12 hours. You're going to want to be comfy. Unless of course, you are one of the unfortunate business people who have to be dressed for their meetings. Sweatpants are awesome.


4. When you have to praise the Lord.

Without it, I wouldn't be writing this article last minute. I would also not be able to watch Netflix and that would be very sad.

5. When you hit the jackpot.

Some people can sleep on airplanes, some people absolutely cannot and other are in between. But no one can disagree with this tweet. The flight will go by in a blast. The only unfortunate thing is that you miss the awesome movies at the in-flight entertainment when you sleep the whole time (that's what I tell myself because I can never fall asleep).


6. When you just can't figure out what zone you're in.

I had never heard of the zone system until I flew home the first time from college. In Germany you get to board your plane by seat rows (last rows go first). Pretty logical. However, if you do have to go through the zone system like I will in 20 minutes, then just please make sure you look at your boarding pass. It's not that hard and everyone will get on the plane in time.


7. When you struggle to follow rules.

Not quite sure why this happens but it certainly is a phenomenon. Maybe it's just that some people don't fly very often and then don't know the 'proper airport etiquette' or maybe people have other things in their minds. It can certainly become a struggle.

On that note, airports can get really, really annoying. Especially when things don't work or the AirTrain between terminals in Newark gets stuck and you have to walk on the tracks outside, far above the ground, escorted by the police in a snow storm (true story, bro). But you should be excited because you get to go somewhere new (or you're just coming back from a new place) and that means you don't have to stay in one place for forever. Just try to live with it.

Happy summer everyone!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
