    "I'm starting to get hangry at this point. Obviously, cashews won't tide me over. We sit down at a little breakfast nook at the airport with avocado toast and beetroot hummus toast. Inflated airport prices always make me a little salty — this bread with frozen mushy avo should be wayyy cheaper and a lot more delicious"

    OH NO AIRPORT FOOD IS EXPENSIVE. WHO WOULD OF GUESSED.

    "We literally stopped in Singapore just to get his luggage before beginning our long journey to New York — so I sass him into paying for the taxis."

    "I weirdly love airport food."

    U JUST SAID U HATED IT

    "Turns out we're in a weird terminal and are stuck eating Subway sandwiches, which makes me cringe."

    KUH-RINGE!!! I WOULD NEVER EAT AT snorts scoffs SUBWAY /s

    "I get a vegetarian foot-long sub with an interesting soy-veggie patty in it"

    the passive aggression YOU MADE THE SANDWICH

    "I stay behind, curled up in a big stressball trying to make last-minute edits on a social media calendar for a client who doesn't understand how brutal 30 hours of travel is."

    BRUTAL 30 HOURS OF SITTING AROUND AND NAPPING AND GOING ON PHONE. NOBODY CAN UNDERSTAND.

    "PLUS they get served first. I nonetheless glance at the food menu to see if there's anything worthwhile — nope!"

    " I can't wait for my mom to shower us with excessive amounts of food and a fancy dinner or two. I also can't wait to go blow some of that money on concert tickets and bougie brunch in Brooklyn. "

    "Also, damn, how have I gone 13 months without Amazon Prime? I make a mental list of stupid crap I want to buy while I'm home and slowly lull off to sleep."
