Just go on the internet.

15 Things To Do When You're Bored At The Airport

I am currently in an airport on a three-hour layover. I am bored because there is little to do. In the effort to entertain myself, I've compiled a list of things to do when you're bored at the airport.

1. Admit to yourself that you actually have stuff to do and proceed to procrastinate on it.

OK, I actually have work to do, but part of the fun is to convince yourself to save it for the plane.

2. Attempt to find an outlet because you were stupid and didn’t charge your laptop or phone.

When you finally find one, it will usually be taken, or it will be so low to the floor you need to sit down like the child you are.

3. Drag your stuff around the airport and wonder why you put yourself through the torture of bringing so much stuff with you.

Consider it your workout for the day

4. Go into the stores and buy something.

5. Proceed to leave all of these stores because you realize you’re a poor college student who can’t afford all of this overpriced junk.

There are pastries that are $5. That money could go to the dollar store nearby your school.


6. Surf the internet.

If you find that the wifi actually works, sing a song of joy and happiness. If you find that the wifi does not work, go to the shiny airport bathrooms and cry.


7. Create a snap chat story to document your airport adventures.

8. Proceed to realize that you do not have that many followers on snap chat.

Also proceed to realize that nobody is interested in what you do at airports.

9. People-watch

It’s always fascinating to see how people walk and talk, or to notice how they interact with others.


10. Admit to yourself that people-watching means checking to see if there are any attractive people around.

When you by miracle find someone attractive, remember that they are probably flying somewhere different than you. Also, you most likely look hideous. Cause you've been flying.

11. Decide to splurge and get a cup of coffee.

Then ask yourself why the airport’s definition of “small” is “dollhouse size.”

12. Try to strike up some conversations with people.

Everyone is here for a reason, and therefore has a story.

13. Proceed to realize that no one wants to talk to you.

Why did you think anyone wants to talk? Everyone's exhausted.

14. Go to your most primitive self and watch stupid videos online.

Beg to God that no one is going to look over to your screen and judge you for watching Fall Out Boy music videos.

15. Accept the fact that you're probably going to die in this airport.

Your flight has been cancelled. It is rescheduled for tomorrow. Your transfer flight has been delayed. Just accept it. There's no escape.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
