As I've been traveling lately, I've spent much of the recent hours of my life sitting in airports. Without creativity, this time period would be deafeningly boring, which is why luckily for your next traveling endeavor, I have already formulated this list of the exciting things you can do in an airport near you.

1. Create a music video on a moving walkway.

During less busy hours, set your heart on making a dance routine using both lanes of the moving catwalk that would make even "OK Go" weep.

2. Try your luck at a luggage fort.

Using airport chairs, luggage, and jackets (for the ceiling of course); you can make a tight short term living space in just minutes that will provide privacy and a child-like feeling of pride for your meager accomplishment.


3. Carry a small sum of money and try to see how much you can buy.

Similar to Disneyland, and theme parks of all kinds, airport stores are infamously known for selling overpriced goods due to a lack of business competition. In spite of this, try carrying around as little as a dollar to see what kind of minuscule treat it brings.

4. Take a nap in an awkward place.

Remember when you were a kid and you would sleep in your closet or under your bed just for the thrill of it? That may have just been me, but regardless, sleeping in a place so obviously not meant for sleeping is a right of passage.


5. Play a human version of "Guess Who?"

This new people watching game, created by yours truly, can be either played with two players (similar how to the orginal game is played) by each player choosing a human and having the other player ask questions about their physical attributes until they find out who they are. Or, alternatively, a person could play by themself if they write down a random description of a person before setting out to find a person who fits these traits.

6. Make it a competition with yourself or your friends to find the wierdest thing in the airport.

So far, the winner of ˝weirdest thing in LAX˝ seems to be the Hillary Clinton nutcracker while the weirdest thing in the Copenhagen International airport seems to be an authentic deer skin kept in their ˝Scandinavian˝ section.

7. Another fun game that I like to play in the airport or other spaces flooded with tourists is the "Foreign vs. American˝ game in which one must guess if their chosen stranger is a local or a foreigner based on their clothes and general appearance. The contestant has won that round if after hearing the person speak, they find that their assumption was correct. Bonus points are given if the player can correctly assume the nationality of their stranger.

With these handy tips, you should be able to withstand at least forty-three minutes of airport torture.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
