The Expected And The Unexpected At An Airport

For those who know and those who don't know

The Expected And The Unexpected At An Airport

With summer comes vacations and with vacations comes trips and with trips comes airports!

1. Busy business people and the nappers

Airplanes are the fastest way to get from point A to point B, so it makes sense that business people are often on planes. But just as common are those not so casual travelers on the cheap flights that have them on connecting flight after connecting flight, depriving them of sleep until they can rest in those not so comfortable chairs at the gate. Rest well, weary travelers.

2. Overpriced food

This is pretty self explanatory. I once spent $17 dollars on a chicken BLT and a coffee. I mean it was good. But still.

3. Looooooooooong loong lines

for everything. And then some.

4. Bookstores

Nothing like starting that new novel while waiting for that plane. And of course, if your flight is delayed, you might as well take time to finish the series.

5. Luggage Stores

So, maybe this is me, but I don't understand why it would make sense to go to the airport, make it to your terminal AND THEN stop to buy a new overpriced fancy luggage! And another thing, I get souvenirs but it's something else to reestablish your wardrobe at the terminal before you know if you lost your luggage or not. I guess you can buy yourself a new wardrobe and then fit it into your new luggage before going back for your old one. Enjoy!

7. No free wifi??

Blasphemy. We are not savages!

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.
