Most miserable day of your life so far.

Sorry to hear that, thanous. I hope you'll have a nice time in Jersey.

So I flew in to Chicago got there at 5 my next flight was at 9ish they switched the gates across the airport about 3 times and then they cancelled it! So then I went to the customer service desk and the line literally filed the entire terminal so I stood there for about 3 hours and got a hotel voucher, by the time I got to the desk my aunt had already called them and got me on a new flight at 3 pm the next day. So then I went to find a hotel, but by the time I got that voucher every single hotel that has a shuttle to the airport was fully booked, and I'm not exaggerating I called every hotel that I saw a shuttle for at the airport and I was standing out there for nearly two hours trying to find one (keep in mind I'm also under 18 traveling alone so that made it extra hard to find one) so I went back to the terminal and I had to go through security again to get there, to just go and die somewhere but then my mom told me she finally called the company (4 hours after she said she would) and they said that since I'm an unaccompanied minor I could stay in some lounge for unaccompaniEd minors that was there. So I went there and they asked me where I was flying to, and I answered and they told me that there was a flight going there right now, so I rushed over to that gate only to see yet another line. I stood in that line for over an hour only to realize I wasn't supposed to be in the standby line since I had the right of way since I was an unaccompanied minor they had to let me on the plane(at least that was the way it had always happened before). So I talked tio the ticket guy and he told me to bypass the line and just go straight up to the lady at the desk, which was a huge challenge because it was completely surrounded with people waiting, so I had to wait for them to clear out. I finally got to the lady and then she apparently put me on the flight immediately without telling me so I was standing around for another hour waiting for them to take care of the standbys because I thought I was being categorized as such. We finally boarded but then came another hour wait in the plane. at least the plane had a tv with a broken headphone jack.

Whew I'm so glad that was over, I'm never going to Chicago o'hare again

I listen to music, whether I'm driving, riding, flying, whatever.

If I'm a passenger in a car, that's all I can do without feeling nauseous. In a plane, though, that's not an issue. Usually I read.
