11 Feelings You Have When You Finally Get To See Your Long Distance Significant Other
Meld Magazine

Being in a long distance relationship is probably the worst thing ever—but the best feeling in that relationship is waiting for your significant other at the airport. I can't think of a feeling that trumps it.

Though airports are also your worst enemy (because they take your special person away from you by the end of their trip out), this time, they are a magical place where people are reunited with their loved ones—and you are a part of this process. I personally go through so many feelings when picking up my significant other from the airport, it's unreal... and I bet everyone else in a long distance relationship can relate.

1. That feeling when they are boarding their flight and you can't contain your excitement because they're going to be there in T minus __ hours or minutes. (Yes, you totally have a countdown.)

2. Your heart skips a beat as you reload the page for the thousandth time and see the plane has taken off.

3. Then you're stuck by yourself not able to text or call them while they're in the air...


4. You hurry up to clean and get everything ready so you can just relax when they're here.


5. But then you realizing you forgot to do certain things.

6. Now, time to get ready (aka look hot).


7. Then you're driving to the airport, like...

8. Finally, you get there, park, walk into the airport, and practically run to their gate.

9. Then you sit there, like...

10. You realize they're taking slightly longer than normal so you fear that they've been detained. (For people who are in international long distance relationships.)

11. But they finally come out and there is no one happier than you two at that moment.

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.
