10 Airport Struggles Travelers Know Too Well

As a frequent flyer, I cant tell you that there are still many too many struggles travelers experience every time they go to the airport. Here's a fantastic list of my favorites.

1. Trying to calmly go through TSA.

I'm all about security for safety purposes, but come on now. They throw your stuff around, take an unnecessarily long amount of time to look at your undies, and occasionally feel you up if the time is right.

2. Parking

Having someone take you to the airport is a blessing in disguise because I'm lucky if I remember where I put my car keys in my suitcase, much less where I actually parked.

3. Fitting your luggage into a tiny restroom stall.

It's like trying to fit together two puzzles pieces that just don't match up.

4. Terminals

Needless to say, multiple terminals, gates and ways to get to these places is enough to stress me out for the rest of my trip.

6. Fighting your way through baggage claim.

Baggage claim is basically like going to Victoria's Secret when they're having a magical underwear deal.

6. Flying with babies/small children.

I don't feel like an explanation of this one is really necessary.

7. Never finding a power outlet.

Or when you do find one, but of course it doesn't work for some reason, or it's under some random person's chair.

8. When the restrooms/food court are like a mile away from your gate.

You just want Starbucks, but by the time you make it back, your flight could already be halfway to our destination without you.

9. Lining up by number and someone with a higher number tries to cut you in line.

No, you will not take my window seat. Now get in the back.

10. Limited food options.

When you just want Chipotle, but McDonald's will just have to do.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
