The Types of People You Encounter in an Airport Around the Holidays

As I sat there listening to my pride and joy, Frank Sinatra, serenade me with the classics of Christmas it hit me; airports provide the most opportune people watching scenarios during the holiday season. Families reuniting, couples bickering from traveling anxiety, and even your typical sibling fights. As an avid "people watcher", I like to make up stories for each family, and gladly I can say that majority of the families and couples were happy this year, thanks to the holiday spirit. Around the holidays it seems like everyone is glowing. Yet, there are still always those couple of Scrooges. Here are the typical types of people you encounter around the holiday times at airports:

1.) Reunited couples

2.) The uncomfortably large family

3.) The miserable couple

4.) Nightmare children

5.) Lone business men always on the phone


6.) Uptight woman and her lap dog

7.) Adorable old couple

8.) Annoying, crying babies

9.) The outlet hog

10.) Aspiring musicians with all their instruments

12.) Loud pack of teenagers

13.) The drunk guy

14.) People catching up on sleep

15.) Unaccompanied minors

16.) The guy who's late for his flight to his parents

17.) The middle aged woman who wore 1937373 pieces of jewelry and articles of clothing aka the airport security nightmare

18.) The nervous guy chewing your ear off

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.
