So I got to fly to go visit my family and the only ticket that we could get was out of Spirit Air and I'm only taking a carry-on but then I hear you can't have a carry-on that is a normal backpack. So aside from wearing all my clothes onto the plane which will make me look ridiculous what do you guys do to beat the size restriction? I think it's like 18x14x8 maybe I could get some sort of little satchel to toss under the seat.

18 x 14 x 8 is a backpack aka 'personal item'. That should be sufficient. I've done it once. I also saw cheaters with drink bottles and shoes tied by laces onto the outside of the backpack. I wouldn't try that just in case they make you shove your personal item into the example box and charge you for it if it doesn't fit. Since it's winter I wore my exercise clothes/pj under regular clothes plus jacket and packed the rest of what I needed for 4 days. That's plenty of room.
