5 Things That I Absolutely Cannot Stand About The Airport

It's a terrible place.

I really never minded the airport. To be honest, I kind of liked it. But living in New Jersey and going to school in Miami means that I travel a lot, which means I spend a lot of time at the airport. And I've decided that the more time you spend in the airport, the more you start to dread it. So, here are the things I hate the most about the airport.

1. The people

I don't know what it is about airports, but they bring out the worst side of everyone. I cannot tell you how many times I've been yelled at by a security employee because I accidentally left a water in my bag. Then of course I get yelled at by the guy behind me for making him wait 30 seconds while I take the water out.

2. The lines

Whether it's the line for security, the line to board the plane, or even the line for Starbucks, at the airport it's just too long.

3. The timing

If I successfully make it to the airport two hours before my flight (like they suggest), chances are I'm going to be waiting at the gate for over an hour, just for them to tell me the flight's delayed.

4. When girls actually look good

I'm always my ugliest at the airport. So when I see someone in heels (or anyone who actually looks like a put together human), I don't love it.

5. The walking

No really I love when my gate is C109 and security is conveniently located near C1.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
