10 Types Of People At Airports
WTTW

We have all been there, whether we are running to catch a flight or sitting waiting for the plane to arrive, everyone has experienced the wonders of an airport. Both large and small, these dwellings have a knack for hosting a range of people and personalities. Here are 10 types of people you are likely to see at an airport.

1. The Runner

I don't think I've been to the airport without seeing someone rush to their gate. There is always someone that shows up super late and holds up the whole plane, please don't be that person.

2. The Tired Mom

I always feel bad for the tired mom with six kids, trying to find their gate, shush the crying baby and stay sane all at the same time. The airport is not an ideal place for kids!

3. The Super Nature Dude

There is always that one guy with fifty pounds of gear on his back, on the way to a back-packing trip. This person also smells kind of weird and wears everything Patagonia.

4. Electronic Savvy

I will never understand how someone can use a cellphone, laptop, tablet and at the same time talk on the phone with an ear piece. This person is probably one of the most annoying in airports because they talk so loud and hog up all of the outlets.

5. Fancy Pants

This person is probably the most amusing to me because even in big airports, with complicated security checkpoints and long walks to their gate, this person still decides to wear six-inch heels and loads of jewelry. On top of that, they feel the need to spray tons of perfume/cologne and give everyone headaches. I don't know about y'all, but I would not use my Michael Kors bag at an airport where things are easily stolen.

6. The Talker

The second most annoying is the person that feels the need to have long conversations with you even when you're obviously trying to sleep or listening to music. The worst part is when they start talking about politics and how Trump is going to "take this country back" and "make America great again." I can't.

7. The Curious Little Kid

I love it when little kids ask me a hundred questions, touch my stuff and spill orange juice on my furry blanket...not. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, but not at airports.

8. The Coordinated Family

There is always that family that has matching luggage and matching outfits and it kind of makes me feel like I need to step up my organizational skills.

9. The Sleeper

I don't understand how people can deep sleep in busy, loud airports! Whether it's on the floor or the uncomfortable seats, they always find a way to sleep.

10. The Confused One

That person that wanders around the airport not knowing where they're going or how to follow the signs. The funny part is that this person refuses to ask for help.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
