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!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
